Would these relieve some pressure on my knees when I am running?

It would be hard to answer this question because I have only used them for my work boots. They have made a difference for me as far as confort goes.

I work construction and these work great for me. I don't have issues with my knees so I really can't say. The relief I get is the feet.

No. My husbands legs are very swollen and I can't get these on him. Better for ankles...Sorry

You should feel them, but they should not feel tight and uncomfortable. Snug would be about right. I agree with other answers. Control of swelling is a good sign.

I suppose you could use it that way. They aren't very tight on my head so depending on how fast you run, they might fall off.

I think they'd help provide support and stability while playing tennis. They are great for lifting. I wear mine for lifting and some of my plyo and conditioning work. I don't typically wear them for long distance running. Given your recent surgery and the quick changes in direction involved with playing tennis I think these would be beneficial to you.

No they're not designed specifically for knee support and they're a mild compression overall. If you're serious about knee support in compression how about trying Jobst Men's Compression socks, thigh highs, or T.E.D. stockings.

Of all the pads I tried these give me the most range of motion. If you visualize how much your elbows or knees are bent when running that is a good indicator. I run with no restriction on motion.

From my experience, these will not slide down when you run. The key is getting your lower strap above your calf and having it at the right tightness. If you do both of these things, you wont have a problem. If you have really small calves, then any knee pad you have is likely to slip down. (If you buy this product, make sure to even out the clothing underneath your lower strap before use as wrinkles and bunches of clothing under the strap can cut of blood supply and cause discomfort.

Travelling yes, running, though I have never tried, from what I can see by the design, I doubt they would fair well for running. They aren't the most snug fit. At least on my head. I mean they are perfect for normal walking but I am willing to bet you would probably have to stop to adjust them from time to time if you were running with them on. For me, they just don't feel like they would stay in place if I ran with them.

Yes. I stabilizes my knee allowing me to put some pressure on it. Definitely recommend.

I use mine for walking but I think they would be just fine for running. You can get the low padding ones to avoid bulk.

No they are not. If they did you would not get the knee support it offers. If you want and need a knee brace that works these braces are what you're looking for. If for some reason you have trouble getting tight items on your legs I would look elsewhere!

you probably can but they have a tendency to slide from left to right on your knee if you move around too much. They would give some comfort but probably not worth the effort of keeping them straight. One of the rectangular foam pads used for gardening etc. May be a better option.

That I can't answer. I don't wear them while exercising because:A) I don't exercise :)B) I don't want to get them sweatyBut I don't see why they wouldn't once you get the right tips on them.

I have wear them a few time in the past week. I have knee problems constantly and when running on the mill more than 3 miles, I could not stand the pain. I've tried knee straps and although it helps, the pain persist.Then I tried the Gel Force and the results are GREAT! It feels weird at the beginning, but after a few miles, I had no pain or discomfort. Recommended!

Sorry I missed this earlier. I hope I'm not too late. I would believe so. I exercise in mine regularly. Though I am not a runner. They hold in place quite well.

I really can't answer that as I'm having a knee replacement shortly and can't run at all with or without the weights. They adjust very nicely though and I can walk in them, well as well as I can walk :)
