Summary: Works very well
Comment: I am in my late 50s but still active in sports. My knee has been giving me problems recently. This brace is easy to use and, although lightweight, keeps the knee cap and all the surrounding elements in place.

Summary: It gets me to Half Dome and back
Comment: This is a well made product in the U.S.A. (woohoo!) I wore this to Half Dome and back and it kept my knee pain to the minimum. I also like the side that's touching your skin; it's made of soft felt material instead of the neoprene material, like Mueller Jumper's Knee Strap and McDavid Jumper's Knee Strap, which cause excessive sweating where it contacts the skin. I also noticed the pressure-strip is smaller and more flexible than the other brands so it fits below the knee cap better. The buckle problem mentioned by the previous reviewer is not a problem with me because there's an extension of the felt material below the buckle that separates and cushions the skin from the buckle and you just have to pull the extension to position it correctly. Last of all, you can't beat the Amazon's two-pack price and fast delivery.

Summary: Works well, not too comforable
Comment: These types of straps are really great for knee pain when you've got a kneecap that doesn't want to slide into it's groove right. This is a very nice quality strap that has a soft lining that feels good against the skin. It's also a great bargain compared to some of its competitors.
Unfortunately, the way it straps on is not comfortable for me at all. Basically, you thread the strap through a buckle and then it fastens down with Velcro. In order for this strap to work, it has to assert a little pressure against the bottom of the kneecap, but doing so pushes the plastic buckle into my skin. It pinches when I bend my knee.
As a side note, I also bought McDavid Jumper's Knee Strap and found it to be VERY comfortable. With the McDavid strap, there is no buckle. It simply wraps around the leg using Velcro. It's lining is soft and I can wear it for long periods of time with no discomfort or other problems at all.

Summary: Futuro Knee Strap
Comment: Great Product!
First of all, in my experience, this sort of knee strap that puts a little bit of pressure on the patella tendon works very well for preventing certain types of knee pain and injury. I've used them for years, running 20-25 miles per week and walking 5-10 more. However, up until now, I've always used the Pro-Tec knee strap...and with great success....it's a good product.
The Futuro Knee Strap, however, is half the price of the Pro-Tec, is more comfortable and does a better job of staying in place. It may not be as well made...the Futuro appears to be glued togther, the Pro-tec is stitched...but the materials are comparable and well, so far so good. I've had no failures over the first couple of hundred miles of use and they seem to be holding up well.
The only reason I could think of to try the Pro-tec over the Futuro is if you are very large or very small. the Pro-tec comes in sizes, Futuro is one size fits all.

Summary: Futuro Sport Knee Strap Performance
Comment: I don't understand why the Futuro strap provides such pain relief in my knee, but I can put the strap on when my knee is hurting and almost immediately it starts providing relief. I will wear it sometimes for several days and then leave it off until the next time my knee starts to hurt. I would recommend it to anyone to at least try and see if it helps you. The transaction with Amazon went very smoothly and no problems.
