Customers praised this knee brace for fitting larger thighs without rolling down, providing excellent support and compression. Many said "finally" finding a brace that stays in place during daily activities, exercise, and work. Reviewers appreciated the comfort for all-day wear and pain reduction. Some noted occasional slippage requiring adjustment, and a few wished for firmer support or sizing between options.
Okay, I wanna get the things two things in here. So first, the rating is for the actual product itself. It's well made, and looks like it can stand up to some heavy use. My only knock against it is the care instructions, which are printed there on the back of the package, but took me minute of looking; for a product that just due to it's nature is gonna get gross. Otherwise everything was good, admittedly I was swayed in a small part with the marketing, in the sort of fun way, same as a product like Liquid Death (you two should kiss and make out and see what happens actually).
That said - unfortunately the product will not work for me. I full well ordered the brace expecting this, but hoping it might. The sad fact is that I'm an old man that was hoping this might help my falling apart..parts. The reality is I'm also built like Sasquatch's second cousin, and simply too big to even get the thing up my leg on my knee. This is no fault of the product or company, I'm simply huge. They have this item as "3x" in the description, going off that, I would need whatever they would consider a 5x, or possibly 6x.
I’ve been wearing these braces for a couple weeks during volleyball and they are working really well! I’ve never had a brace/knee pad that fit over my large thighs and calves so well while also providing support and not cutting off my circulation.
My only minor complaint would be that they do start to slide down while walking, but for playing volleyball and moving around the court I have minimal slipping and just have to readjust every so often. They definitely stay in place better when worn over long leggings (and they are roomy enough to do that comfortably!)
Overall I would recommend other plus size people try out the big bone knee braces and I would recommend to my straight size friends as well!
I don’t skate, but I do work on my feet all day. Got the brace as I did something to my knee, and it’s treated me very well so far. Some slight slippage, but nothing super serious. Reduces my pain and keeps my knee from popping and moving out of place most of the time! There is a stark difference from when I’m wearing it and when I’m not. Definitely recommend this, especially as a plus sized guy.
Believe the hype; if other knee braces are making you feel furious and fat, buy this and be happy. It's the first knee brace that actually stays on my leg. It fits well -- tight enough but not TOO tight -- and provides the support I'm looking for. I'm so happy to have found this. THANK YOU to Old Bones!!
LOVE this brace so much I bought a second one immediately😂 I’m a stretchy jointed human, and these really help on bad knee days. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments already with one pink brace, and one purple one 💜💕
For someone whose knees sound like bubble wrap on a regular basis, the old one knee brace is the only thing keeping me upright while learning to derby skate. Praise old bones.
This knee brace has changed my life. I know that sounds crazy, but I fell down some stairs a year ago and have a torn meniscus. Doc recommends full knee replacement but I need to lose weight first. Hard to lose weight with lipedema, then the added knee injury. Then I found this knee brace that actually STAYS UP and fits my weird shaped legs due to lipedema (cone shape). The support had reduced pain and allowed me to move around better because the side bracing flexes amazingly well. Having that true all day support has been a game changer. All my doctors write down the name so they can help other patients with the same issues. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS PRODUCT!!! Just ordered 2 more!
I got the Big Bones knee sleeves. They actually fit my 26" thighs and guess what? They work! I work in a high school at night and can walk from 9,000 to 15,000 steps a night. They keep compression on my knee and are a real help in getting through my work night. Only thing wrong is after a few days of wearing they feel like they are loosening up on the upper thigh and I do have to pull them back up every so often, maybe a velcro strap you can wrap around the upper thigh would help other then that I would still recommend them.
I've ALWAYS had huge thighs, and I have never been able to enjoy knee braces because they would choke off circulation to my knees. They were always too small and would do that annoying roll down thing. My friends, you need these, I did a hellacious leg workout with these on, and my lord did they do an amazing job. I will say that you AT MINIMUM need a 23" thigh to keep these from rolling down (which they will do eventually) but they are amazing!!!
Was very surprised it fit my knee and stayed up. I'm very happy with it and I have soft squishy legs. I have not found any race that has stayed up comfortably and I am shocked
Worth the money.
It does slide down a bit, but it's better than the others I have had. I do wear it outside of the house when I'm running (walking) errands and it keeps my knee feeling very stable nonetheless.
I have a recent diagnosis for my left knee, and I've probably tried eight different braces, and this one is by far the most comfortable and provides great support for my needs.
As a person with larger thighs, the big bones brace fits decently - it's slightly too big, but the next size down is definitely too small. I was able to solve this problem by putting an additional thinner compression sleeve underneath the big bones brace, and now it stays up without slipping.
I wish they offered additional options for support in the big bones brace, but maybe that's in development. In the meantime, the combo of the big bones brace plus the sleeve underneath works for me *extremely* well on the daily.
It was two big for me
I have large calves and thighs and haven't been able to find sleeves in a store that I can fit. The Big Bones really came in clutch and I got them in time for a really important competition workout. Will definitely buy again!
It does slide a bit when you first put it on but once you start moving around it stays in place. But ever since I purchased this brace I've been able to get through my work days with no issues. So glade my buddy recommended this to me
These yes I said I bought more than one are amazing! Very comfortable. They can we worn over 8 hours with no issues. I have chuncky thighs so the way this hugs my leg is absolutely 💯 🤗 ❤️!!!
Best large size knee brace I've ever found You could wear it for days comfortably! It even stays up on its own, for real! They should make an exercise model though with two of the same springs they're using on each side for a total of four springs! Keep everything else the same! This would really help people with serious knee injuries and their exercise. Don't eliminate the current model, just add a double the support model with twice the springs, same exact ones, as Obese people need more support for intense exercise!
Best knee brace. Feels great, looks great. Fits well. I have really sensitive skin and after only a few days I only had a little amount of irritation. Very minor, most I can’t wear because they’re uncomfortable or don’t fit well or makes me break out in a rash.
I was hesitant to purchase these because I have yet to find a brace that would fit my large legs and still allow me to have movement. All of the braces that I had tried previously were either too small and would shift or roll down or would fit but then limit my mobility. This brace has been great for both running and lifting. I'm so happy that I made this purchase!
Finally, one that doesn't roll during training!
Fits well and stays in place. Great knee support.
Hey, these fit well and mostly stay up. Idk why but I thought these came without the steel springs in them. I can't use them for BJJ with the springs, which is bumming me out. Overall they've been great for general support.
Great fit, feels great.
I am so happy to have found a larger knee brace! After sprained my knee, I learned that most knee support does not actually fit around my thigh and that I never realised how high impact my job is. This knee support has been an absolute game changer. 1. It fits. 2. The compression significantly helped decrease swelling. 3. The cushioned kneepad helps me get up off the floor.
The only downside is that the top has a habit of slipping a little bit as I walk. So I find myself having to tug the knee brace up a little bit throughout the day.
Working in a warehouse the extra stability really helps in getting on and off of equipment all day
