Best Knee Brace List

Our customers purchase thousands of knee braces each year so we sat down with our computers and crunched the numbers to find all of the candidates worthy of a best knee brace nomination. We've broken down our finalists below according to sports and also by the type of brace.

This is where you'll find all of the best knee brace considerations for ACL injuries, runner's knee pain, sports and recreation, skiing, chondromalacia, and much more. So whether you’re looking for a knee brace for running or for basketball or for arthritis or for torn meniscus, or for anything in-between, we’ve picked out the best that’s available on the market. To make our Best Knee Brace List Of 2025, these stars had to meet our three criteria:

First, they've been out in the marketplace for at least three years with a track record behind them.
Second, they've all been used by both college and professional athletes.
Third, they have been endorsed by sports medicine professionals that treat high profile athletes on a daily basis with injuries requiring one of these types of braces.

Our "Best Knee Brace" lists below can change from year to year so be sure to check back frequently for changes and updates.
