Whether you're a novice or an experienced runner, injuries and soreness are relatively common in the activity. Both can occur for various reasons, spanning from overuse to an improper warm-up and cool-down schedule, which is why many runners turn to knee braces or compression sleeves to help relieve some of the pain and swelling experienced from running.

Bauerfeind's Sports Knee Support is ideal for runners because it features targeted compression zones and a viscoelastic pad that stimulates and massages the knee joint during activity. You won't have to worry about it sliding down while running, and it's easy to care for thanks to a breathable, moisture-wicking and machine-washable AirKnit fabric.

Bauerfeind Sports Knee Support

Non-Slip Design: Runners want a brace that stays in place because the best brace in the world doesn’t help if it’s down around your ankles or you’re constantly stopping to pull it up. With its anatomical shape and gripping zones, the Bauerfeind Sports Knee Support is designed to stay in place during rigorous activity.

Kneecap Stabilization & Pain Relief: Kneecap tracking is often the source of pain for many runners. To reduce pain, you have to stabilize the kneecap. The Bauerfeind Sports Knee Support has an Omega Pad made of viscoelastic material which provides 360º of stabilization and redistributes forces away.

Durable, Breathable & Washable: Comfort is important, and this knee brace is breathable and moisture-wicking. After your workout just throw it in the wash on a delicate cycle (no fabric softener, bleach or Woolite) and lay it flat to dry. This will prolong the life of your knee support.

Don't just take our word for it.

“I am a runner and a cyclist. Due to overuse of my knees I developed knee pain. After many attempts in searching for a reliable knee support to help me continue with my outdoor activities I found this item and purchased it. I finally found a knee support that will allow me to continue with my sports activities. I wear it during my 6-8 miles run three times a week. It stays in place, feels snug but comfortable and gives me the support I need. I am very happy with it and highly recommend this product.”
