Running Knee Sleeves

Knee pain from running isn't at all uncommon. It could be swelling around the kneecap from an old injury that flares up after a jog, or there might be a sharp pain below the kneecap once you've gotten a few kms into the run. You might just find the knees getting sore and stiff post-run. Whatever the issue, wearing a running knee sleeve is often one of the best ways to alleviate the pain and discomfort and get you back to form.

Bauerfeind's range of knee sleeves for running are suited for any condition that affects the joint, and utilise an active design to support you and your knees no matter how hard you're pushing yourself.

Can I wear these all day or just when I exercise?

Most of our sports line is designed for wear during active movement rather than all day, while our main range (products ending in "Train" or "Loc") are better suited for injury management and all day wear, whether it's sports, exercise, work or just chores around the house. If you're unsure if the support you're looking at is ideal for all day wear, just contact our friendly staff.

Can I still move properly in these?

These supports are designed to allow for regular range of movement while stabilising the joint and preventing injury. This means you can confidently move in pivots, sudden changes of direction, jumps and landing as well as quick steps and positioning.

Will these overheat?

Bauerfeind's range of supports are made from an ultra-breathable cotton/elastic weave that's perfect for active use of any level. Clinically shown to vent heat more effectively than any other support, it's perfect for air-flow, temperature regulation and comfort.

How do I take care of these products?

Wash the compression braces on a gentle cycle, at a low temperature, and then allow them to air-dry. Ideally, the garments should be washed in a delicates wash-bag. Clothes dryers should be avoided as the high temperatures can damage the fabric and grade of compression. For hard braces, hand-wash in cool water and allow to air-dry. Putting them on and taking them off carefully is recommended, and for specific product care, refer to the product manual or contact our friendly staff.

How do I know they'll fit?

Will these change how I play?

While any kind of brace or support will have an affect on your physical movement, it's in a positive sense. More stability in the joints and muscles, increased power with each movement and better balance mean that you'll move more effectively. It may take a little bit of adjustment with some supports that have rigid components, but long-term there should only be an improvement in your form.

How do these help me while I'm running?

When you're running, your ankles, knees and feet are under repeated strain, especially if you're moving along harder surfaces. Our supports stabilise the joint movement and minimise stress and fatigue in the muscles, tendons and ligaments, ensuring you get the most out of each run

Do I have to have an injury to wear these?
