I have a 16" knee. Does the sleeve stretch over time? I wonder if a new medium will fit?

I've been using this brace a couple of times a week for a few months now, for tennis and racquetball. My knee is also 16" and I got a Large, which is what I recommend for you. It runs tight, in my opinion, and it hasn't stretched noticeably yet.

Yes it does stretch with time from washing and wear. Not sure if the med one could work might be tight. Hope this might help a bit.

This newer model with 2 braces on the sides is tight and has not stretched out like the shorter one brace older model. A large fits a 16 inch knee fine.

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.

I think that is what I measured as well Dorene... I went with the medium with this. You want it to be tight not overly so though. It's supposed to sort of keep the knee in the proper position and that it does. The only way to completely do that would be a neoprene sleeve but I have not worn that for quite sometime. Only right after miniscus surgery and I wanted to play tennis 6 weeks after surgery. Then I needed the sleeve. But after about 2 months of wearing the sleeve I went to this and it keeps the knee very steady and I have had no more issues with my knee. Hope that this helps. I think that you can always send this item back if it does not work for you but i did go with the medium not the large. I think that is what I measured as well Dorene...

I think the large would work for you. My husband is 15" knees, 16" thigh and calves and works well for him. Hope this helps you. "

Hello, Thank you for your question. This brace is available in sizes medium through 2XL. To find your size, measure around the center of the patella. The medium fits knee circumference of 12"-14", the large fits 14"-16", the XL accommodates 16"-18" and the 2XL fits 18"-20". Please let us know if we can be of any assistance. Thank you!

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.

Go to footsmart.com - search for knee sleeve. They sell this item, and there are dimensions and instruction on how to measure

My knee measurement is 16 1/2 (across the knee cap) so this fits fine at that point but I found it too tight at the calf and the upper leg. Perhaps I have some swelling because of inflamation. I've found a more comfortable one at Walmarts, size L/XL which fits 16" to 20" and does not have the velcro tabs top and bottom. I found the tabs don't close flatly and catch on clothing.

If u wear a large t-shirt I'd go w/LG if u wear a medium I'd go w/medium and so on. I really think it helps! I have the knee sleeve too.

I would imagine so. It doesn't restrict the knee at all, so it shouldn't be a problem. Don't buy too big because it does stretch out after a couple of weeks

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.

Yes! I've had mine for a few months now, and it's still stretchy all around and easily fits my 16" mattress.

Not certain about the fit for a 25" knee circumference but the straps are elastic and would therefore extend quite a bit. There is a wide band of hook and loop fastener (Velcro type) that keeps the strap secure. I have been so impressed with the quality and the protection that I think it would be worth a try!

My calf is almost 13 at the largest point but it doesn't go down that far, knee is 14 and I got a small. It's tight..but it's supposed to be. They loosen up over time but not much.

While initially tight, I found the sleeves to be comfortable with additional wearing. The sleeve is graduated so you have some flexibility to adjust it with your hand inside the stocking. My leg is 15 inches round and heavy under the knee, but I could adjust the top to address my leg size.

I have two braces. This one I use for refereeing basketball games which requires a lot of running and twisting of the knee. I use a less confining brace for just walking. If you are 14" at the semi-bent knee I would go for the medium. I have a 15" knee at purchased a large and it fits fine.
