Newer Model Runs Small

I purchased the new model GenuTrain knee brace which is lighter. The material is rougher on the inside than the old model, including behind the knee. But not so bad that I can't wear them. Also, these run small. They run tight. Order the next size up. I measured a size 3C but ordered a size 4. Fits okay. Previously, I have had these in sizes 3, 3C &4C is for comfort and 4. With the old model my size four kept slipping down my leg. Not so with the new model. I put my old model in the dryer after washing to shrink it. It helped. Also, these knee supports wear out and stretch with time. Still, when they are new they will give good support. I used to require a metal off-loading brace, but now this is all I need. I don't wear it around my home, but just when I go out. It's good when walking around a store or going for a walk. I don't do any workouts so I don't know how well they are for that. I like the gel pad around the knee cap. Keeps my kneecap stable. The brace is breathable. Doesn't feel hot. I have tried other material braces and like these the best. They are expensive for what you get. I asked my orthopedic doctor about these and he said they were fine for my current needs. If you have an injury go to a doctor before buying a brace.
