Strength shop customer service is amazing! I ordered size medium 2ply knee sleeves and they accidentally sent me size small.
I contacted them to initiate an exchange. They replied so quickly and sent me the correct size for free.
Also my first time using 2ply, incredibly snug. I like the feel!

These are exactly what i was looking for. My heavy lifting days are done (heavy for me that is ) & I've just had knee surgery & i needed something that would "keep it tight" for when i do legs as well as simply working "around the house." I just got done helping my daughter & her fiancee move. Dresser-drawers, log bunkbeds & a massive oak dinner table....when i was done, my knee felt GREAT!!!! thanx for a great product!!!!

Absolutely amazing product here, strength shop out did themselves. You can feel how solid it is once you get them. Fit perfect right but not to the point of painful. A good rebound, not like the triple ply but plenty of help for a normal wear. I wear these for my main knee sleeves. I only use triple ply on competition days or on super heavy max out days. These are everything I wanted and more. Not to mention the customer service is absolutely second to none.

I tried to order knee sleeves the first time and accedently ordered elbow sleeves. So I ordered again and got knee sleeves but my measurements must have been off because they are WAY too tight.
Strength shop is awesome and the quality is great, I just didn't do well ordering, I don't think.

I love these Thor knee sleeves. I measure ~15" around the knee and the large size fit very tight. For reference, my calves are ~16" and it is difficult to get the sleeves over them. I purchased the size medium first but they were just too hard to get on and off. Large is perfect for training. If I could compete in powerlifting in these sleeves, I would do the mediums but only because it would be for singles. The mediums would be way to tight to wear for training.
The customer service from Strength Shop is fantastic. They allowed me to return the size mediums and got me the larges to replace them very fast. Strength Shop is my go to for almost all of my equipment (Red inferno knee sleeves, black inferno knee sleeves, Hercules knee & elbow sleeves, Thor knee sleeves, ballista, 13mm lever belt, blue wrist wraps, dip belt, squat stand, pull up bar, and deadlift bar).

Feel great for squatting and Olympic lifts!

Awesome. Great on my knees. Hurt my left knee years ago and this is the first product that has allowed me to get under weight again in the squat rack.

These are my lighter sleeves. I use them when I am not lifting really heavy weights. They are perfect for what I need them to do. Also, coupled with my Strength Shop yellow and black deadlifting socks, I look like a bumblebee. ️♀️

The company exchanged knee sleeves for me at no charge since the sizing had changed and the “mediums” I ordered were too small even though I followed the sizing chart. So I got a large and they are still too tight but doable I suppose. Takes me 10 minutes to get them both on & cuts off my circulation a bit but I’m hoping they’ll stretch. I got the two ply sleeves and love the craftsmanship just with they ran bigger. Here’s the odd thing: I’m a female with skinny legs! 5’8” & 125 lbs! The large is still tight?? The smalls must be for children? I don’t get it.

I measured correctly and followed the sizing chart yet the item I ordered was way too small. I am returning it for an exchange. If you order knee sleeves get a size larger than the measurements say. Very frustrating when I have to pay for the shipping again!

Great knee sleeves, I prefer them over any neoprene 7 mm sleeve,
Great compression, easy to slide up, no smell and most important indestructible ( there is no stitching to worry about). Highly recommended.

Best sleeves on the market if you want to lift like a animal. Easy to clean, and tight as hell with great mobility.
marlonn
these are hardcore sleeves, i got these in xl as i have a 18 inch knee and HOT DAMN these are tight!, amazing for heavy squats! would def recommend
Calvin
Its not often I'm wowed right out of the package, but these sleeves did the trick. While I'm not a huge fan of the yellow and black bumble bee colorway it does catch the eye. Immediately after opening the package you feel the quality and durability of these sleeves. I have sleeves 2x this price that don't feel this well built.
I just received them today and didn't get to test them thoroughly yet, but I will say this. I'm trying to work my way through a nagging quad injury where it meets my knee, and it has been painful to squat recently to say the least. With the Thors on, I feel absolutely no pain. I went from struggling (due to pain) with 315 on squat back to my normal range in the 400s without any problems.
I'm 6'1 240 and I got these in an XL for reference. They fit snug but they're not a pain to get on and off. Part of the reason I use sleeves over wraps is the convenience and ease of use.
Overall for the money these are hands down the best sleeves I've used. I have SBDs and would buy two pairs of the Thor Sleeves before the SBDs any day.
But like I said its day one and the flaws may become more apparent as time goes on.
Based on what I've seen so far, if its your first set of sleeves you'd be foolish to spend more money on bigger names.

I had ordered the double ply and noticed an immediate difference with squatting. Less pain in knees, good bounce out of the hole, and less muscle fatigue. I tend to pull the sleeves up 2 inches above the knee joint. I did go from a 315 lb 2 rep deep squat to a 335 lb 2 rep deep squat. So yes, I did notice a difference. I love the support and really don't have knee pain after squatting. I will give my review on the triple ply as soon as I start using them.
Sam
Purchased the double ply sleeves in July 2015. I definitely could feel the support in my knees when squatting to the parallel position. My squat did improve from 315 x3 to 330 x 3 in about 5 training sessions. I also noticed minimal soreness around my knees and quads after wearing these.
Stuart
Saw, em, liked em, bought em using em.
Like this product cos its idiot proof, the more you use the more you wonder how you got on before.
Warms the knee area a treat, easier than wraps for multiple sets.
Take an idiots advice, if your age and and years spent Doing Squats, Dead and bench is higher than 30 years, treat yourself !

The stability of these sleeves are instantly noticeable. Takes 2seconds to put on. I bought them as I suffer from patella pain and ITB
Tendinitis from Olympic lifting. Today I squat snatched totally pain free, best investment for your knees!
Neil
I wanted some knee sleeves to wear whilst squatting. I already have Inzer XT knee sleeves, but they are uncomfortable to leave on, and using wraps for each set is too much trouble when doing multiple heavy sets. Hence, I gave these a try, and my initial impressions are very good.
They are tight to put on, despite me not having big calves, but when in place they are snug and comfortable enough to be left on between sets. They give me more confidence and support than neoprene sleeves, and a little more spring at the bottom of the squat, but not as much as with actual knee wraps. This is exactly what I wanted, as I will continue to wrap my knees for one rep max work, but they make a great alternative to wraps when working below max effort.
Overall, I am pleased with the Thor knee sleeves and recommend them to anybody who wants a comfortable and convenient knee sleeve for training.
Daniel
I ordered the knee sleeve initially as I wanted something for a reasonable price that would offer warmth and security to my knees whilst squatting and training events.
They took a little time to get used to, but they have give a bit and now I wouldn't train without them
I've used them every time i train upto four times a week for over 12 months and they are still in great shape and I have no issues with my knees whatsoever really great product.
Janne
I found this shop from google when I was looking for knee sleeves and ordered this great pair, perfect support and quality knowing friendly prices. No wraps anymore after using these sleeves so I really highly recommend.
HigginsStr
In January I suffered from knee pain caused by ITB tendonitis which meant I couldn't squat below parallel without pain. These Knee sleeves were recommended to me by a friend and as soon as I put them on I was pain free during a full ass to grass squat. They allowed me to work around my injury, progressing my rehab, and within 2 weeks I was pain free after months of frustration.
I now use them on all my heavy squat and Clean & Jerk sets. Well worth getting.

I recently bought a pair of thor knee sleeves, and having enough time to review them, all I can say is wow. They don't only provide heat to the knee joint, but also provide a small bounce off the bottom of a squat since these are double ply. So if you want a sleeve just to provide heat, buy neoprene ones like the rehbands but if you are also looking for a little bit of support buy these or the new triple ply odin ones.
Paul-Michael
Very very tight fit, incredible bounce and support. And at half the price of all other sleeves on the market, these are definitely the best model you could buy. Ideal for anything, whether your warm up or pb attempt. Solid.
Jewell
As an olympic weightlifter trying to qualify for the London 2012 Olympics that extra 1% could make all the difference, so I was keen to try these knee supports after seeing one of the other members of the GB team wearing them.
Compared to the old style blue rehband knee sleeves i think these are a better fit, (nice and snug) they hug the knee keeping joints warm and providing great support and protection.
I received the supports 1 week before a competition, tried them out in training and got on with them straight away. I was extremely impressed and found they gave me a good deal of confidence. I was standing up out of my cleans like there was nothing on the bar.
I would definitely recommend these knee sleeves to anyone who is involved in serious weight training as they would be a worthwhile investment.
I would also like to say a massive thank you to Brian at the Strength Shop for being so helpful and prompt in answering my questions and getting the goods delivered so quickly. Thank you for your generosity! : )
Jonny
I tried these on the recommendation of a friend. I am quite sceptical about these things but keen to give everything a try. Admittedly being my 2nd workout of the day I was intent on just playing around with some back squats very sub-maximally as my legs were not feeling the love. Long story short I ended up with a 20kg PB and even that felt much more comfortable than normally whenever I load right up. I felt no pressure at the front of my knees at all. I work as a physio to mostly sports athletes and am now completely sold on these and will have no hesitation recommending them.
Ed
Massive confidence boost. I was between sizes but got these in an XL as recommended by Brian and I am very happy. I wanted some moderate support (more than a standard knee support but less than my lifting wraps) and these are perfect!
I keep them over my shins between sets and side them up over my knees before each lift and its easy.
I would recommend these to any lifting looking for a durable heavy duty knee support.
Sean
Very good knee sleeves , very supportive and keep joints warm , i wont squat without them anymore , £29.99 is a snip compared to surgery.
Charlie
i ordered the knee sleeves on monday and they arrived on wed so very pleased with the fast delivery, i put them on for log pressing and single arm dumbell pressing i found the quality outstanding and they really helped with warmth and support so all round a very good product would recommend to anyone.
Dave
Great product, I was always suffering with knee pain whilst squatting, using these has eliminated the pain entirely.
Very firm, taught and supportive. Would highly recommend 10/10
markyg
First time ever using knee sleeves. Ordered on the Wednesday arrived on the Friday. Hit an all time PR first time using them. Highly recommended.
Bert Dol
These sleeves are a great product. I gave them a good workout yesterday and i must say, these are some comfortable sleeves. Easy to put them on, instantly warm and toasty around the knee. I found them comfortable enough to keep them on during the sets i worked with them. I especially liked the way they felt coming out of the hole. Just a nice little elastic assist, the rest you will have to do yourself. Outstanding, just what i was looking for.
Highly recommended for those intermediate sets of squats, working up to your bigger numbers.

As an international masters track and field athlete, and competitor on the highland games circuit I've had my fair share on injuries over the years - including multiple knee surgeries so I have to take support and care of my body very seriously. These wraps feel great and are just as supportive as a long knee wrap or neoprene support and far easier to slip on and off. They give me confidence when pulling or squatting heavy weights and take the pressure off my joints and force my muscles to activate during the lift. A great purchase.
