This pair of Premium Cotton Knee Support Sleeves was one of those review items that I pulled rank to review. Having played a lot of sports in my youth, my joints are now feeling the strain, and combined with middle age, this adds up to sore knees and legs. My job means that I spend a lot of time on my feet, and frequently have to bend at the knee to access lower shelves, so by the end of the workday my legs are tired and my knees ache.
The moment I put on these Knee Support Sleeves I felt the benefit. Just standing up from being seated on the couch, I could feel the support from these sleeves. The pattern on the sleeves gives you a big clue as to how to wear them. The bigger end obviously goes at the top of the leg with the light grey pattern sitting over the knee cap.
The sleeve fits snugly with a firm elasticity which does not cut off the blood flow. I can feel it gently compressing the entire area which it covers. A typical work shift for me is 8 or 9 hours so long term comfort is important for me, and this sleeve almost delivers that.
After the first 2 days, I stopped putting them on before leaving for work. These sleeves don't stay in the ideal position for me while driving, so I put them on when I get to work. They also have a tendency to slip down far enough to need adjusting after about 45-60 minutes. Pulling them up though my jeans is only a short term fix,so I need to excuse myself and adjust them without my jeans in the way. i.e. I have to drop my pants and reposition them.
I like the fact that these sleeves keep a gentle warmth without getting hot or itchy during the day. They also offer a little extra cushion when I have to kneel to fill the bottom shelf. They certainly make life easier when it is time for me to get back up again when I am done kneeling.
Overall I would recommend these sleeves to anybody who needs knee support. I found them to be very beneficial, and the hourly adjustment is something that I am happy to live with for the comfort and support that these sleeves offer. If there was a way to stop these sleeves from slipping during use without affecting the comfort then this would be a definite 5 slap product. Currently I would rate these 4.5/5 and I use them during every work shift.
