The 4-way compression ensures good stability and optimum support, regardless of whether the product is used in everyday office life or for sport . Overall, the Kimengo knee support has a high-quality and durable appearance – it can be assumed that it can be used for a long time , even with heavier use in sports.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points

The Kimengo knee support is available in sizes S – XL. There are even illustrated instructions on the seller’s website, which you can use to determine the optimum size of the support by measuring your own leg. The support feels very robust, is breathable and has sweat-absorbing properties. The 4-way compression also ensures good support during sport. In our test, the support was tested while running. The high level of comfort ensures that the support is not uncomfortable to wear during sport. The knee support receives a point deduction because it can only be washed by hand. This is initially impractical and can be seen as an additional time expenditure, but probably contributes to the durability of the product and can therefore be accepted without further ado.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

*The maximum score is 100 points

On the seller’s website, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.2 stars. Some customers complain that the support is too tight . Many customers like the fact that the knee support can be worn all day and guarantees a good hold. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the wearing comfort and support were good. The size of the support was suitable, so we didn’t find it too tight. It is advisable for buyers to find out exactly what size they need before buying or to contact the seller if they have any questions.

Prices of up to €30 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €14. The Kimengo knee support is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €20.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is reasonable.
