CW-X Stabilyx tights are awesome! I'm 58 yrs old and doing 5k's. Couldn't do it without them. My knees,hips and legs feel great.

Hello,Thank you for your interest! We strongly suggest that you get a physician's opinion and recommendation based off your diagnosis. However, I can definitely let you know what knee supports are recommended for post op support: Bauerfeind Genutrain P3 Knee and the Reaction Knee Brace. Both knee braces provide more support to the ligaments and knee.MMAR Sports Medicine

This product is great for supporting your knees for a short time during intense exercise. If your looking for somthing for all day use, i would recommend getting a compression sleeve. They are comfortable and easy to put on and maintain.

I have the same question. Did you get the tights? If so, what did you order and how do they fit?

Donna, I have fat knees and thighs and those that slip over the knee roll and cut off the circulation in my knee. This one stays in place for me. It has three straps that you can tighten. I wear them for teaching Aqua Zumba and they work great for me.

I have one for my rt. knee while it gives the mental effect of stability I would be very careful torquing your foot as this is a much softer brace unlike the ones with sturdier metal supports. It advertises metal but feels very flimsy the three Velcro fasteners I like and very comfortable under pants or jeans but for athletic activity I would worry about it.

I have both, and I prefer the ultra. The regular barely feels like any compression. It's much more comfortable, but it doesn't make a big difference for me. I should mention I use them primarily because I have low blood pressure, instead of solely athletic reasons. The Ultra makes a big difference, and the regular maybe makes a slight difference, but really just feels like I'm wearing snug leg warmers. I agree with the first reviewer though, the top band of the ultra does bind.

I use mine for running and it never falls off. It's a pretty tight fit. I never had a problem with them at the gym.

I have had an ACL rebuild and a full knee replacement on my other leg. This will not provide full support for athletic activities in my opinion but worked very well as something to use for everyday comfort while walking, driving, etc. For post ACL running (I played lacrosse), I used a brace similar to those used by NFL players.

Actually this knee brace not provide cooling effect (indeed it is breathable), if you run in 85F - 95F...probably still feeling hot around knee... I would only say it is more comfortable than other nylon / polymer made knee braces even in hot weather. Hope this help.

If you have clots, these compressions would be too tight for you. I do not recommend purchasing, rather to find stockings that are only knee high. You can find those at any surgical supply store.

No they are not. If they did you would not get the knee support it offers. If you want and need a knee brace that works these braces are what you're looking for. If for some reason you have trouble getting tight items on your legs I would look elsewhere!

We ordered a small for a 5'3" 115 lb. girl and they fit well. Yes, the material is stronger than tights.

I'm very sensitive to circulation issues, and the Bauefeind Genutrain is fantastic in that regard if you size it per their instructions. I wear it to play pretty competitive table tennis with a lot of pivoting and footwork , and frankly, I forget I have it on. I have worn a number of smaller knee bands that are far more restrictive. I highly recommend the Genutrain if restricted circulation is a concern.

I've run with and without wearing a sock under the brace. Either way the brace is very comfortable, no chafing or irritation.

Nita, I would be cautious in purchasing these since, of the different versions, from different companies, I purchased, these were the only ones that would not stay on my shoes (toe doesn't have anything securing it) Stablicer run cleats are bolts and quite heavy, but the Stablicer with the little nubs on the bottom got me through last icy winter without failing and no slipping. Original Yaktrax are a good product for occasional use, but the rubber you are running/walking on will fail with much use (same for the heel area of these you are considering). Stablicer Run are excellent, but a handful of bolts-weight on each shoe!
