Not perfect, but great value!
I've been wearing the Shock Doctor 875 brace once or twice a week for 18 months now, and feel it deserves a good review.A quick overview of pros and cons:Pros:-Less expensive than comparable medical brace- Durable, quality materials and stitching- Padded ring for knee cap support- Hinges for reinforced side support- Hinges are removable for easier cleaning- Snug fit with strategic padding and ribbing to improve support- Mesh behind knee to allow air flow- Hinges are covered by fabric to reduce snaggingCons:- Crossed straps behind knee are uncomfortable when bending- No ROM Lock on Hinges- Neoprene can stick to sweaty skin and be difficult to remove- Somewhat bulky, especially at the hinged sidesYou should know that I'm disabled, so my activity level is much less extreme than say, an athlete who wants to wear this during sport. I use my brace mostly for walking with limited bending. But it's held up for over a year, so I feel I've gotten my money's worth ($52 at time of purchase).The design of the brace was comparable to one offered by my orthopedic doctor, for a fraction of the cost (even with Medicare coverage). The primary difference was that the Shock Doctor brace does not offer ROM (range of motion) Locking Hinges to prevent hyperextension, but I have that feature on another brace when I need it.The materials used are heavy duty (neoprene, leather, Velcro, nylon), with double-stitching around areas of greater pressure like the hinges. Instead of just a simple stretch tube, the sleeve is patched together in sections to better follow the shape of the knee. The seams are strategically placed along with padding and ribbing to create additional support in the areas that need it most.I have very large, rounded calf muscles, so the brace is extra snug at the bottom. When I sweat, the neoprene sticks to my skin, making this brace very hard to remove! I wear knee-high socks or leggings to prevent this, but during the summer that gets hot. For this reason when I purchased a second brace this year I decided to try the Shock Doctor 886, which is a wrap-around model and therefore easier to remove.Compared to the Shock Doctor 886, this 875 model offers superior support, especially around the knee cap, so I will definitely still use it on my most active days! Check back later for my full review on the 886 wrap-around model.

Reviewed in Italy on March 2, 2022
Prodotto come da descrizione, acquistato per via di un leggero problema al LCA, premetto che ancora non L'Ho utilizzato per uso sportivo, materiale sembra di buona fattura, veste leggermente stretto quindi se siete a cavallo tra 2 taglie prendete la taglia maggiore, ottima vestibilità, i supporti laterali in metalli sono snodati e permettono i movimenti dell'articolazione ma allo stesso tempo offre una buona rigidità, ginocchiere di lv. 3 quindi massimo livello di "protezione ", aggiornerò la recensione una volta utilizzata effettivamente negli sport.

5.0 out of 5 stars Their Sizing **IS CORRECT**
Reviewed in Canada on October 11, 2020
I feel really compelled to write this review because I don't like how so many reviewers say the sizing chart that Shock Doctor provides is incorrect. You can benefit from a mistake I made; I bought 2 but neglected to measure my left leg, assuming both my legs are the same size; I bought 2 XLs, but should have got an L for my left leg.

If you are near to being one size or another-- GO DOWN, not up! I mean, assuming you aren't just buying them for aesthetics.

First off, there is certainly a break-in period with these, as with anything that fits snug on our bodies-- forget the myth that only leather goods break-in. I have been wearing these everyday, for 10 days, for 8 to 10 hours everyday. They absolutely become more comfortable, and do need to be tightened up a bit more, as time goes on. So just because they feel too tight right out of the package, doesn't mean they will after a week.

Second, you should realize that if you have big meaty calves (I envy you,) yes they will be tough to pull over your lower leg, but once you do, the lower straps on the braces are meant to tighten just above the muscle so that they *sit* in place. Hard to explain, but I hope you catch my drift. I have skinny little chicken legs, so I do have to pull them up now and then and re-tighten the straps, much more so with my left leg, again, because I got a size just slightly too big on that side.

If you end up tightening the straps too far, you run out of velcro to connect with, and at that point you'll really regret getting a size too big. I found a work around for this, but it's not good to use them in a way they aren't designed to be used-- honestly, just by looking at these things and handling them, you can tell Shock Doctor put a lot of care into the design.

ANYHOW, in terms of how they actually work.... like a charm. I have a genetic defect that makes my joints basically like rubber, so the danger of hyper-extending and spraining my knees is ever present. I noticed the difference in stability and support as soon as I put these on, they instantly made a very noticeable difference. I saw a reviewer on youtube saying it's like suddenly adding an extra layer of muscle.. yeah, sort of. More like adding integrity to connective tissue I'd say, but whatever. Awesome either way you look at it.

The 3rd day I had them, I went walking around town for a good 3-4 hours-- amazed that my knees didn't feel utterly destroyed that night, as they usually would.

My orthopedic specialist said I shouldn't have to wear them forever-- I didn't understand this until I tried them; you can indeed tell that they are training your proprioception via "bio feedback" or whatever. In the mornings now, I wake up with less knee pain, and actually feel more stable for an hour or so before I feel the need to put them on. I hope that stability period keeps growing to the point where I indeed won't need them-- though I will probably always wear them when I have to walk on ice or if I go on a technical hike (one day soon, god willing), just as a safety precaution to stop a sprains or a catastrophic hyper-extension.

Oh, and having to wear them everyday, I finally washed them yesterday... hinges came out easily enough, hand washed in the sink, dried over night... just a necessary chore to keep in mind. I read you should really wash these sorts of things twice a week if you wear every day (which is kind of paradoxical when you think about it) even if you aren't getting sweaty. I have gotten in the habit of spritzing them inside with some isopropyl, before bed, hopefully that will keep them cleaner... otherwise, you do get itchy. Well, anyone who wears pads and such for sports knows what I am talking about... "athlete's foot" can happen anywhere on your body, so be careful of that.

So, my only regret is buying one a size too big (and that would be only just an inch off maybe)-- so DO obey the manufacture's sizing guidelines, and DO measure both legs if needed, lol.
