Here are the sizes to help you decide. Unfortunately both the large and X-large fit me. I decided to go with large because my past knee braces have expanded over time. Otherwise it's a good product.

McDavid Knee Braces
SIZE KNEE (Circumference)
SMALL 12"-14"
MEDIUM 14"-15"
LARGE 15"-17"
X-LARGE 17"-20"
XX-LARGE 20"-22"

My daughter recommended a different McDavid knee brace to me, but I knew that I needed the XX-large sizing of this model. It is not at all expensive, but it is so comfortable that I can wear it all day without pain. My knee is getting better because of this brace. The neoprene is soft and easy to clean, and I can wear it under most of my pants or let it show when I wear shorts. Sometimes I wear it with the red side out just for a change, and it seems to work just as well while it adds a cheerful accent to my casual outfits.

I spent almost as much money on ill-fitting braces at the drugstore, but this is the one! I heartily recommend it.

I purchased two of these because they come in size 2X, and it is difficult for me to find knee supports that fit my plus-sized body without making me feel like I am wearing a tourniquet. The fit guidelines on the McDavid website are accurate and the knee supports are true to size. They give me adequate support, retain heat, supply compression, and do not make me feel too strangled when I wear them.

Another thing I like about them is that they are simple. There are not a lot of complicated velcro straps, hinges or other paraphenalia that get in my way - I just slip them on and they do their job. They are perfect for minor injuries that do not need massive support. The support is very light and would not be good for severe knee issues.

The negatives are that they do not breathe (so they are hot and sweaty in the summer), and they do not stay up well (so I am always having to pull them up). If I don't hike them up every few steps, they are down around my ankles after a few minutes.

It is inconvenient, but I really don't care because the support they offer frees me from needing to take pain meds. They give the tendons, ligamints, joints, muscles, nerves and connective tissues some much needed support and rest so my injuries can heal without me being confined to bed all the time or constantly taking pain killers.

I wouldn't want to wear them all the time, but it is so much better than the alternatives. They do the job with minimal inconvience and discomfort. I am really glad I ordered them.
