I just wrote a review a few days ago. Now
I wrote a review a few days ago. Actually it was a good review. Now after today, after wearing it on the 4th time from work. My leg was feeling a lil weird and when I lower my knee brace. I got some kind of rash or something and it itches like crazy. Now I have to wait till this goes away and hopefully use the brace again real soon. Was really surprise that this happen. I got a large and use the measurement from the amazon web page. I didn't want to get an XL because I don't want it to slide down my leg while I'm working. Now I'm thinking maybe I should have. Might have to return this and get an XL and see what happens. Do your homework before you purchase your next knee support brace. Good luck.
Thank you for your feedback

I’ve used many neoprene slip on knee braces and Shock Doctor is the best! I play goalie in hockey and I play baseball and golf, fantastic support and very comfortable. Quality product that will last. Highly recommended. Make sure that you measure properly to get the proper size. This time I needed extra support, I bought the 872 with sidebar support. Good luck!
