Who wears it & why.

    WHY IT WORKS

    Three jobs. One sleeve.

    • Graduated compression

      20–30 mmHg medical-grade pressure that reduces swelling and keeps blood moving on long shifts.

    • Joint stability

      Gel-cushioned pad and dual hook-and-loop closure. Pressure on the tendon, off the kneecap — the way orthopedic guidance recommends.

    • All-day comfort

      Soft open-knit fabric that breathes through 12-hour shifts. No pinch, no chafe — wears like a second skin.

    SEE IT IN MOTION

    Built for how you actually move.

    Tested on real bodies — through 12-hour shifts, gym sessions, and recovery weeks.

    WHAT'S INSIDE

    Engineered comfort. No filler.

    Every fiber, strap and seam has a job. Tap a number to see what it does.

    1. 01

      3D knit technology

      Soft knit band

      Gentle on skin, breathable through long days on feet — no chafe under shorts or leggings.

    2. 02

      TARGETED

      Shock‐Absorbent Cushion Pad

      Pressure under the kneecap, off the patellar tendon — the counterforce design orthopedic guidance recommends for runner's and jumper's knee.

    3. 03

      ANTI-SLIP

      Secure Fit Design

      Holds its line through squats, jumps, and stairs. No migration mid-set, no chase.

    4. 04

      ADJUSTABLE

      Dual hook-and-loop

      Fits 12–24" adult knees and 8–14" kid knees (Osgood-Schlatter version). Tightens without pinching.

    Patella Strap

    HOW TO WEAR IT

    Three steps. Done in 30 seconds.

    1. 01

      Slide it on

      Pull the sleeve directly onto bare skin. Smooth any folds. Wider opening first.

    2. 02

      Center the pad

      Position the gel pad directly under the kneecap, then fasten the hook-and-loop snug — not tight.

    3. 03

      Wear all day

      Fits under socks, shoes, and work boots. Wear up to 12 hours. Wash gently between wears.

      First sleeve that didn't slide down.

      "I'm on my feet all day with grandkids and errands. First ankle sleeve that didn't slide down by hour three. I wear one most days now."

      Wears under work boots.

      "Doesn't bunch. Doesn't quit by lunch. Bought three pairs after the first week. The figure-8 strap is the game-changer."

      Five months in, still snug.

      "Bought it for tendonitis. Wore it through chalk dust, lifting boxes, weekend gardening. Still holds shape like day one."

    QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

    The most-asked questions.

    How long until I see results?+

    Most feel the support and reduced swelling the first time they put it on. For chronic ache, give it 5–7 days of daily wear.

    Can I wear it overnight?+

    Yes. Many of our customers wear it to bed to ease morning plantar fasciitis heel pain. (For dedicated night-only use, a rigid night splint can be added; the brace doesn't replace one.)

    Is it FSA / HSA eligible?+

    Yes. FDA-Registered Class 1 Medical Device — use your pre-tax HSA or FSA card at checkout.

    How do I find my size?+

    Measure the widest point of the joint with a soft tape. When between sizes, size up for comfort or down for firmer compression.

    Will it shrink in the wash?+

    No. Hand wash cold or gentle machine wash in a mesh bag. Air dry flat. Tested for 100+ wash cycles.

    Does it fit inside shoes?+

    Yes. 0.4 inch slim profile — tested by foremen, nurses, and warehouse workers under steel-toes, sneakers, and dress shoes.

    What if it doesn't fit?+

    Free returns within 30 days — worn, washed, no questions.
