Walk with confidence
The brace was prescribed my my orthopedic surgeon to help stabilize the knee. This is the second one of these Breg ShortRunner Knee braces I've had and they are wonderful. The DME website was also very helpful in finding the correct brace.

Great Lightweight Knee Brace
Excellent. My son had knee surgery 2 months before our trip to Costa Rica. He was able to use this brace in the hot weather. We could rinse it out after he was in the water with it and it dried fast. He liked that it was less restrictive compared to the Don Joy Playmaker.
DME-Direct
Glad to hear our brace is helping out your son's recovery after surgery.
Nice options brace
The brace is well designed and the material is breathable. The only reason I did not rate it a 5 is the velcro straps. You need to be extra careful not to have the velcro on the fabric when wrapping the leg. It is narrow.
Very Satisfied
I ordered the BREG brace and I’m glad I did. I have a torn meniscus and needed a brace until I get an MRI. The BREG brace provides the support I need. It’s comfortable, fits well, and of good quality. I chose standard shipping and I received the brace in 8 days which is standard (7-10 days). Overall I had a good experience with DME-Direct and would definitely use them again. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to try this brace in the Dr.s office before I made the purchase. I had the order number of exactly what I needed.
Exactly what I need!
Have used brace several times and it works and feels great. Offers solid stability for my knee. Have had no problems. You make great products.
I tried the air mesh and love it
I have both of the knee braces in both Neoprene, as well as, the Airmesh. I prefer the air mesh because it stays dry, does not sweat.
Very pleased with the product.
I wore this brace for the first time yesterday running agility with my dog. This was my first attempt at running after straining my hamstring and injuring my meniscus. The brace provided excellent support, and didn't allow me to move my knee in ways that would further injure it. I initially balked at it, given the price, but am now very pleased that I made the purchase.
Great product and seller.
Easy to order, delivered on time. Great, warm, personal customer service! Couldn't ask for more!!
Comfortable and stable
Use them for water skiing. Very comfortable. Feel stable in them, but not restricted.
So far so good
I had the full sized RoadRunner years ago, and it was great. The Breg ShortRunner is similarly good so far, but is considerably less bulky.
