Manufacturer Contact Information SD Review: Great for ACL tear or MCL sprain/tear - great quality - My wife tore her ACL completely playing soccer and sprained her MCL as well. The clinic that diagnosed this tried to sell her a $375 DonJoy knee brace that sold for $180 or something on desertcart. I told her not to buy it and that we'd find something that was cheaper but didn't sacrifice on quality or comfort. Before you know it I'm 20 tabs deep in knee braces, ACL tear stories, etc. and I have 30 choices with 30 different people telling me different things. I narrowed it down between this one (Shock Doctor), the Mueller Hg80, and some McDavid braces. The expensive one at the clinic had been long and gone up the thigh a good ways and down the calf a good ways - the stability this lent was key to my wife. In the end I chose the Shock Doctor because I looked like it was really stability-focused and myself and more importantly my wife have been very pleased with the purchase. The brace has some size but I wouldn't call it especially bulky, I'll try and get some pictures up. It goes a good way up the thigh and a good way down the calf and has metal hinges running the full length on each side of the knee. My wife has athletic (read: large) calves and thighs from playing sports all her life - so sizing and good, strong straps were a big concern. We measured her knee 2 inches below mid-knee like the pic shows and I think it was 14.6 inches, right in-between Large and X-Large. Follow the advice in the chart, if you're near the top range and within the bottom range of the larger size, just go with the larger size. The X-Large ended up being a solid choice and has worked well for 3 weeks now even as her swelling has gone down and her knee has gone closer to the large size. For your sake, ignore the names "X-Large", "Large", etc. and just stick to the measurements. My wife is not a big person, but the X-Large sizing was right, so we went with it. It might feel weird ordering an XL for a tiny girl, but just listen to the measurements, not the labels. Materials are very sturdy and durable. The straps haven't loosened or come undone a single time. The rest of it has a solid feel. The metal doesn't squeak. Overall the materials work well to really stabilize the knee and help give the feeling of some extra stability to a potentially wobbly knee. Comfort is great. Like most braces you want to take it off occasionally but if you have to wear it all day, it's very doable. No sore spots from rubbing, etc. Overall a very good brace that is very good quality for a solid price. If you're like me and reviewing a million reviews on a million different products, I can say this one has performed well and if you get the size right, I don't think it'll let you down. Review: Busted knee? You want this. Here's how to order the right size, how to put it on, and how long it takes to break in... - I totally blew my knee out during Krav Maga class by landing off-balance on my left leg. I never had a knee injury before so it was a new experience. I couldn't even put any weight on it without it feeling like my leg was going to separate at the knee. We went to the local Walgreens and got a basic pair of crutches and the best knee brace they had on the shelf, which is the Mueller Hinged Wraparound Knee Brace, Black, Lg . I wore that one for about 5 days before it started to feel like it wasn't giving me much support, no matter how much I tightened it. I was getting into my car and moved my leg just right (or just wrong) and tweaked my knee again, even with the brace on. Knowing that my knee is worth the expense to keep from re-injuring it, I ordered this Shock Doctor knee brace and was thankful that desertcart has Sale Day delivery in my area. ++++ HOW TO ORDER THE RIGHT SIZE ++++ Be sure to order the right size! ** Ignore the note about it running small! You want to err on the side of it being small because it does stretch and break in! ** In case you need it, here are the sizes: S = 12.25" - 13.25" M = 13" - 14" L = 13.75" - 14.75" XL = 14.5" - 15.5" XXL = 15.25" - 16.25" My upper calf is 15" in diameter 2" below the kneecap as instructed to measure, so I ordered a Large. Yes, it was a tad small, but it worked out for me. ++++ HOW TO PUT IT ON ++++ To install it, slide it over your leg like you would anything else. It will feel VERY tight in the calf area. Grab the sides of the top opening where the little grippers are and pull it on until it is in place, then wrap the straps around accordingly. YOU WANT IT TO BE TIGHT IN THE CALF THE FIRST TIME YOU WEAR IT! It will seem like it is way too small the first day. Also, the straps that wrap around the back of your knee feel like they are digging in the back of your leg. Adjust them once in a while or put a think piece of cloth on the back of your knee for a while. After a while, they break in as well. Day 1 - will feel very tight. Day 2 - will still feel very snug, but more comfortable. Day 3 - you can wear this all day and not even think about it. It definitely needs time to break in and stretch to fit your leg, but once it does, it is awesome. ++++ THE SUPPORT IS GREAT! ++++ So let's talk about the most important part...THE SUPPORT... The first time I put it on and tightened the straps down, I felt like I could do jumping jacks on a sprained knee. Of course, I knew better...but it feels VERY solid and VERY secure. It drastically helped me get back to walking around and building strength in my knee again. I suppose the only downside, other than the break-in period, is the confidence it gives you that if you are not careful, you can start acting "normal", overdo it and hurt your leg again. Remember, it is just a support and not something built by Tony Stark. Also, you cannot bend your leg fully as the straps in the back get in the way, but if you are wearing this, you probably shouldn't be bending your leg that far anyway. Of course, everyone's injuries and body structure is different so your results may vary, but this was without a doubt the best I could buy for my injury and to avoid injuring it again. ## Features - EVERYDAY RELIEF: Our Shock Doctor knee brace for women and men provides support and helps prevent and relieve ACL/PCL injuries, medial/lateral instability, hyperextension, patella instability, meniscus injuries, ligament sprains, and more. - ALL-AROUND COMFORT & STABILITY: The heavy-duty bilateral dual hinges on our knee brace for meniscus tear offers support while allowing comfortable and movement with four-way stretch Lycra mesh and a pre-curved anatomical design.

Thank you.** A: Slip on with top and bottom Velcro adjustments. Good brace with lightweight fabric behind the knee for comfort - no binding or squeeze. **Q: Is there some way to select whether the brace is for the left or right knee?** A: This brace is universal left or right **Q: I measured 2" below the center of the knee cap and got 14.25" to 14.5" . Would you recommend the L or XL?** A: Sounds like you're a "tweener." I'm 15.25 which puts me into the outside range of the XL and the beginning range of the XXL. I tried the XL for the snugger fit but the adjustable straps (that originate in the back) were pinching the flesh in the back of my knee... without pulling them tight at all. So I ordered the larger size, kept both for a week and compared that way. The XXL has stretched out a bit at the top and the bottom, which can be dealt with by tightening the straps. And when I do that, I don't get the pinch of the XL. My recommendation would be to buy both and return one. If that's not feasible, I can only say the larger size worked better for me. **Q: can i wash it** A: You are able to wash this item by hand and allow to air dry ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for ACL tear or MCL sprain/tear - great quality *by J***N on July 31, 2017* My wife tore her ACL completely playing soccer and sprained her MCL as well.

You want this. Here's how to order the right size, how to put it on, and how long it takes to break in... *by J***R on August 23, 2016* I totally blew my knee out during Krav Maga class by landing off-balance on my left leg.

Brace 1) and 2) felt pretty similar with a slight to moderate hyperextention support, but McDavid XL was a better fit than Shock Doctor 2) option (XXL), which seemed a bit loose. So maybe brace 2) of lesser than recommended size would have worked better. Brace 3) was the only suitable of this size I found in Big Five local sports store. It was not as good as 1) and 2). Brace didn’t provide any overextension support, contrary to the claim, but it was the most comfortable to wear under pants (as it is thinner), but this is not enough. Other comments. Brace 4) was available for the next day delivery (while 1 and 2 would take 2 days to deliver) with Amazon Prime. Brace 4) was designed by a local company that for some reason has very poor reviews. I also rated this product as the least favorable. Shock Doctor braces (especially 2) feel heavy duty and so has promising potential if correctly fit. McDavid 1) was an overall winner based on functionality comparable to 2) but a better fit (it is also more compact and twice cheaper!) I liked the side pockets on McDavid 1) to pull the brace up the leg. These are also found on Shock Doctor 2) and 3) but smaller and not as convenient. A comment on my experience fitting braces. The results vary a lot depending on specific pants and trousers vs. bare skin. If put on bare skin, skin needs to be dry as the inner surface will otherwise adhere to skin. In conclusion, McDavid Hinged Knee Brace (Level III) and Shock Doctor Knee Brace with Rigid Side Stabilizers (Level III) were comparable and very good to stabilize the impacted knee that is painful to overstretch. Level II Shock Doctor brace was not as good, and DonJoy Performance Bionic Drytex Hinged Knee Sleeve was not suitable for knee overextension control, but a nice choice when you value the brace with minimum support functionality that is can be hidden under pants. Selecting the right size is a huge factor for the level of support and comfort. I eventually picked McDavid Hinged Knee Brace (Level III) as it matched the Shock Doctor functionality but at the same time was more compact and twice cheaper. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shock Doctor Knee Brace, Compression Knee Brace for Men & Women, Hinged Knee Brace with Side Stabilizers, Maximum Support, Adjustable Dual Hinges, Knee Braces and Knee Support - SEXYHAIR I WANT VOLUME Shampoo/Conditioner, 10.1oz | 10% More Volume | Lightweight Formula | All Hair Types - SEXYHAIR I WANT STRENGTH Shampoo/Conditioner, 10.1oz | 73% Less Breakage | Safe for Color-Treated Hair | All Hair Types --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1844902-knee-brace-compression-knee-brace-for-men-and-women-hinged](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1844902-knee-brace-compression-knee-brace-for-men-and-women-hinged) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
