My knee measures 14", should I get a small or a medium?

On this brace, I have a 20" knee and the 2X was too big, the XL was just right. I hope this helps.

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.

I'd go for a medium as I have found that the supports I have had run a little on the small size and my Velcro closures are meeting near the tips of the straps with little overlap. One of the comments said that with a 15" knee a large fits fine. Because of the previous mentioned tight fit you also might want to consider a large. If you can try to find a sizing chart with McDavid or Mueller supports that grades size in inches and not just S, M, L, etc.

Dear Erica!As you checked the sizing, you would be on the Small one for your height, but medium with your calves. I would suggest the medium. It won't be longer that much and also, you shouldn't take the small, because it would be so tight, unhealthy.

Sorry for being soo late.Go to the Nike website, they give you info about the patella band.then buy from amazon.I believe if you measure just below your knee cap and you measure 14 inches or less you need a medium.above 14 inches you will need a large. I hope this helps you, they make a big difference wearing the bands.

Brute has a size chart on their website. It is done by measuring around the knee from front of knee cap and round the back and back to the knee cap (all the way around). For example a Medium measures 13.5"-15.5". Good 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.)

Here is the sizing chart for the VS-1 knee pad, from the Mizuno website. These measurements should be taken 1" above the knee. - small: under 13.5" - medium: 13.5"-15.5" - large: over 15.5"

I'm 5/4 145 I use the small, it's pretty tight so the medium sounds right for you.Marry Xmas and Happy New Year.

I am 5'9 and 142 pounds and fit into small for the version just below knee. Very tight. But that's how they should be. I have an m on the long ones. Happy with both

My response is based on a conversation with my physical therapist. Their advise was to choose a sleeve size based on the circumference difference between your knee and your thigh. If your knee and thigh is similar in size choose 16" - 18". If your knee is smaller, then choose 14" - 16". The larger the circumference difference, the greater likelihood the sleeve will slip down. Following this advise, I purchased the 14" - 16". It's a little tighter than I like, but it doesn't fall when exercising.

Just measure around your knee where the band will be and if it's less than 13 inches get a medium if it's more get a large.

This size was way too big for me, Dawn. I bought it large because I had a lot of swelling after total knee arthroplasty. Now my knee is 15" in the middle of the knee, 14" just below, and 15 1/4 just above. I'd go for the medium. I'm 5'10" and weigh 137. Hope this helps you decide.

Hello,This item is based off the knee circumference. You would measure the knee by standing and bending your leg just less than 45 degrees. Be sure to measure around the largest part of the knee, directly over the knee cap. Here are the sizes:Small 12-14"Medium 14-15"Large 15-17"X-Large 17-20"XX-Large 20-22"MMAR Sports Medicine

I'm about 15" around the knee, and I have the large band. I suppose you could try the medium, but remember that you can always adjust the band to make it smaller (i.e. the large band will adjust to your size). What you can't do is adjust it larger. I would err on the side of the larger band for your 12" knee. Hope this helps.

You should place the order for small. A medium would not do you justice, because it would be too loose.

A large probably would not fit, as my knees are "14", and the large fits me.

From the Mizuno website: These measurements should be taken 1" above the knee. small (11 & under) - under 13.5" medium (12-15 yrs) - 13.5"-15.5" large (16 & older) - Over 15.5" So, yes, I would order size small.

I have the large and my knee and 2' above are more in the order of 15.5" and 18". I definitely would get the Medium.
