How do you size these? It says "measure around the knee" but lists sizes in small, med large etc. So what measurements translates to the proper size

I went with medium because it was the size I was using for the Asics gel knee pads--which I initially tried on in a store. I'm a fit 175-180, 6' tall--medium fits snug but comfortably. They are great knee pads; really comfortable, durable, and protect very well. Good luck.

My answer is similar to AK's: I'm 5'10", 170lbs, and the medium fits me just right.

My son's knee measurement (over center of kneecap) was exactly the border between the large and X-large sizes. Since he has significant muscle, I went with the X-large. That worked well.Since everyone's legs are different, I imagine many will need to exchange in order to get a snug, but not restrictive fit.

Don't have quantitative info for you however I had to have the back sewn to take up slack around the knee. I bought XXL to fit thighs/calves, but could have used probably L to fit my knee snugly - if you have a large differential between joints and your musculature, you'll need to taper them or they'll move around a lot more than usual.

I searched online and on their official website, there was a chart, showing which measurement go with which size. Hope this help.

Go to skins.net, choose a pair of compression socks then hit "size guide". Sizing is by calf size. The socks are amazing, I have five pairs (and no relation to the company). Also, if you're on the cusp between sizes, go down not up. I learned that via trial and error. Lastly, buy from "Skins" (even thru Amazon) and they will trade, refund, whatever is needed.

Measure roughly 6 inches below your knee joint while your knee is bent at a thirty degree angle. Convert it from inches to centimeters and I recommend going one size down from the chart. Might be a little snug at first, but you will immediately feel the support.

I'm 5'4" @160. Wear the medium. But still have trouble keeping the knee area actually over my knees as they tend to want to slide down... But small would be far to snug for me.

I got the XL and my knee is 19.5" above the knee joint and 15" below. They do have pretty good stretch, but you don't need them all that tight for them to do their job.

Hi Lucy,I bought this brace for my husband. He measured his knee with a dress maker tape measure, then compared his measurements to the brace measurements posted on the Don Joy site. By the way, my husband LOVES his brace and wears it daily.

My knee is 14" and the medium is a bit too big for me. Having used numerous brands of these, I now go with the Breg patella band. I use a Medium in their product. The Nike also has a tendency to chaff me on long bike rides.

I always order size xl because I have a big knee. If you have a smaller knee try large, they do stretch to fit, good luck,buddyexcellent !

These are women's sizes. I purchased for my 11yr old, who is tall (not overly). I actually had them shortened. The length was too long and she doesn't like a lot of material around her knees.

I took the measurements of my knee from the center of the knee cap up about 41/2 inches and then around the leg in that area. My knee brace was just right and feels good. Best of luck.

I think I was told to measure right above the knee. I pulled this from their website: Available Sizes: Medium (12 - 14 in.) Large (14 - 16 in.) X-Large (16 - 18 in.) XX-Large (18 - 22 in.)
