Materials & quality
Silicone pad. Breathable fabric strap. Adjustable velcro. Hand washable.
Comfort & fit
It presses on one spot, not the whole knee. Thin, it doesn't get hot and fits under pants. One size, velcro adjustable.
The problem isn't your whole knee. It's one spot.
Every stair. Every time you get up. Every step on the sidewalk.
The force always goes through the same place: a small spot just below the kneecap.
A knee brace squeezes the whole knee. It puts pressure everywhere, except there.
Smaller than a knee brace. On purpose.
The Focus Strap does one thing: it presses just below the kneecap.
No neoprene. No hinges. No locked knee.
Like a well-placed backpack strap: it changes where the weight lands.
It stays put. Really.
The number one complaint about other straps: they slip.
Here, the silicone pad grips your skin. Stairs, garden, running: it doesn't move.
Thin. Breathable. Invisible under pants.
Neoprene gets hot. After an hour, you want it off.
The Focus Strap is thin and breathable. Put it on in the morning, forget it's there.
Under jeans or work pants, nobody sees it.
They tried it. They kept it.
★★★★★
Three weeks. Yesterday I walked down the stairs at my daughter's facing forward, one hand in my pocket. She noticed before I did. I took a picture on the stairs to prove it to her.
★★★★★
I paid $50 for a brace that did nothing. This one did everything. My wife ordered it for herself, the second one in the box is mine. I don't take it off anymore to go out in the woods.
★★★★★
The shopping cart was my walker in disguise. Now I push it, I don't lean on it anymore. Photo taken in the grocery store parking lot, my husband thought it was silly.
★★★★★
Pickleball on Tuesdays. We're allowed to complain for five minutes, then we play. Now I don't even need my five minutes. Under my leggings, nobody knows.
★★★★★
Retired carpenter. My knees gave out. Now I still climb my ladder to clean my gutters. My wife likes that less, but she took the picture anyway.
★★★★★
The garden. Getting back up from the flower bed. I'd given up on my tomatoes. They're planted again. I put it on in the morning with my socks, take it off at night, and forget it in between.
★★★★★
I didn't think a little band like that could do anything. I wear it from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and forget about it. It's my knee that doesn't remember it.
★★★★
Placement is everything. The first day I had it too high and it slipped. I followed the little card in the box, two fingers below the kneecap, and then yes.
★★★★★
I'm not saying it's magic. I'm saying I get up from my chair in one go instead of two. For me, that's big.
★★★★★
The Knee Sleeve at night, the Strap during the day. I've had both for a month. I honestly can't pick a favourite.
★★★★★
Last winter the shovel stayed in the garage. This winter we'll see, but I feel ready. Arrived in three days, nice little box.
★★★★★
Skeptical. 60-day guarantee, I had nothing to lose. At 60 days, asking for my money back isn't even on my mind.
★★★★★
My sister is in a wheelchair now. Me, I still walk to the park with the little ones. I want it to stay that way.
★★★★★
Three seconds in the morning with my socks. I take it off at night. It's part of my routine now, like my glasses.
★★★★★
Bought it for my 76-year-old mother. She sent me a picture of the basement stairs. Just that. I got it.
★★★
Decent, but the first two days it was too tight. I loosened it a notch like the FAQ says and now it's perfect. I just needed to know.
★★★★★
The curb at the grocery store, the porch step, the bus step. It's all those little edges that come back.
★★★★
Thin, flat, my pants hang straight. I would have liked a third colour, but the brown works under everything.
★★★★★
My neighbour asked me why I wasn't going down the stairs sideways anymore. I showed her. She ordered that same night.
★★★★★
Christmas market with my granddaughters, three hours on my feet. I got home before they did.
★★★★★
Fast shipping, quick answers, a Canadian company. And the product does the job. I ordered the Knee Sleeve after.
★★★★★
The second strap in the box went in my purse. I'm never caught without one.
★★★★★
They told me it was just age. I didn't accept that. Two centimetres below the kneecap, and I was back on my feet.
★★★★★
My wife and I each have one, that's what the box of two is for. In the morning we compare our stairs. 42 years married.
★★★★★
I had a drawer full of sports knee sleeves that made my leg hot. This is a one-inch band. I don't sweat anymore.
★★★★★
Golf on Tuesdays with the guys. 18 holes on foot. For two years I'd been taking the cart.
★★★
The velcro caught on my leggings at first. I figured out you put the strap on your skin, not over your clothes. Since then it's fine and it doesn't move.
★★★★★
My grandkids say I keep up with them better at the park. They're my real test.
★★★★★
I'm 74, I thought that was just aging. My niece insisted. Glad she insisted, once again.
★★★★★
It stays where I put it, that's the miracle. All the others ended up around my ankle after two blocks.
★★★★
Good buy. I would have taken a wider version for big knees like mine, but it goes around and it holds.
★★★★★
My sister recommended it, now I'm recommending it. There are three of us in the family now. That says it all.
★★★★★
Easy to put on even with stiff hands in the morning. One velcro, one move. They thought of us.
Frequently asked questions
How is it different from a knee brace?
A knee brace squeezes the whole knee. The Focus Strap presses only on the spot just below the kneecap, where the force goes through. It's smaller, it doesn't get hot and your knee bends normally.
I've tried everything. Why this one?
Because it doesn't do the same thing. Sleeves and braces squeeze the whole knee. The strap targets one spot and stays on it while you move. And you get 60 days to see the difference for yourself.
It looks small. Does it really work?
It's small because the spot it targets is small. A wider strap would press everywhere, so nowhere in particular.
Will it fit my knee?
Yes. One size that adjusts with velcro, from slim to bigger legs. No size chart.
Does it slip?
No. The silicone pad grips your skin and the strap tightens with velcro. It stays in place walking, on the stairs, in the garden or during sports.
Can I wear it all day?
Yes. The fabric breathes and the pad touches a small area. Put it on in the morning, take it off at night.
How do I put it on?
Find the bottom of your kneecap. Place the pad two fingers below it. Tighten the velcro, firm but not too tight. Ten seconds.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You have 60 days. Email info@bougezcommeavant.com with your order number and we refund you in full.
