Your knee is fine. The tendon below it takes every hit.
Every time you step down a stair, crouch or get up from a chair, your body sends the force to one spot just below the kneecap. A spot the size of a coin.
That's where the discomfort starts. It's not "your knee". It's not "your age". It's the patellar tendon taking a load it shouldn't carry alone.
Fabric sleeves wrap the whole joint and squeeze everywhere. That's why they don't press where it counts.
You don't need to wrap your whole knee. You need to press one spot.
A knee brace covers the whole joint and limits how you move. It's like putting your whole arm in a cast because your wrist is sore.
Velstride does one thing: it presses on the patellar tendon and spreads the force so the tendon doesn't take it alone. It's small on purpose, because precision beats bulk.
Put it on. Forget it. Get out there.
The number one complaint about knee straps: they slip. Walking, going down stairs, crouching. You spend the day pulling them back up.
Velstride's silicone pad sits in the hollow just below the kneecap and the velcro closes at the back. It stays where you put it.

“I'd do 45 minutes on the cross trainer every morning, and my knee never made it past the 20-minute mark. With this strap, I get through the full session every single time. It's comfy, breathable and doesn't budge.”
Sarah A. | Verified Customer
“I'd already given up on my garden. Kneeling, bending, digging… it all hurt too much. I put this strap on and spent three hours out there the same day it arrived. My daughter couldn't believe it.”
Laura K. | Verified Customer
“My physio told me to try a knee brace with a patellar strap. Leg press, squats, lunges, the lot. No pain afterwards. I wish I'd found it years ago.”

Frequently asked questions
How is it different from a knee brace?
How is it different from a knee brace?
A brace squeezes the whole knee. Velstride puts the pressure on one spot: the tendon just below the kneecap. That's why it's smaller, lighter and fits under your clothes.
I've tried braces and they didn't work. Why would this one?
I've tried braces and they didn't work. Why would this one?
Most of them treat the whole knee. If your discomfort comes from the tendon below the kneecap, squeezing the whole knee doesn't reach it. Velstride presses right there, and you have 60 days to find out for yourself.
It looks very small. Does it really do anything?
It looks very small. Does it really do anything?
It's small on purpose. It doesn't need to cover the knee: its job is to press on one spot, the patellar tendon. We spent 4 years designing it with orthopaedic surgeons, and more than 50,000 people wear one.
Will it fit me?
Will it fit me?
It's one size. The strap is elastic and adjusts with velcro, so it sits firmly on almost any leg.
Does it slip when I exercise?
Does it slip when I exercise?
No. The silicone pad sits in the hollow below the kneecap and the strap closes at the back, so it stays in place when you walk, run or go down stairs.
Can I wear it all day?
Can I wear it all day?
Yes. It's light and discreet. If it ever feels too tight, loosen the velcro a little.
Where exactly does it go?
Where exactly does it go?
The pad goes at the front, in the hollow just below the kneecap. The strap wraps around the leg and the velcro closes at the back. Never over the kneecap or on the thigh.
