Supportive Apparel is like nothing you've ever worn before. So before you step into your new pair of Supportive Tights, throw away your expectations on how athletic apparel should be sized. 

Supportive Apparel sizing is determined by height and weight which helps us predict both the fit of the garment and the cable support system. By using height and weight, we can accurately determine the length and position of the cable support system which is not possible with traditional athletic apparel sizing. 

Find your size with our size picker or by looking at our size chart. You can find the size picker above where it says "Find your size" next to the size selections. If you find yourself on the border of sizes, we recommend sizing up. 

Learn more about what to expect during your first wear and consult the frequently asked questions on our sizing, fit and first wear page.

A Few Issues

I bought the K1 Tempo and the K1 Flux. I have a medical condition that causes instability in all my joints and was looking for bracing that was not bulky because my offloading braces can cause swelling in my feet and look obvious under clothing.
My first issue was an immediate design flaw. The cable adjusters are placed right on top of your SI joint. If you have lower back issues, these can be VERY uncomfortable when you sit or drive.
My K1 Tempo have a cable adjuster that is jammed somehow and I almost had to have someone cut me out of them so I could use the bathroom! It took someone pulling very hard to get the cables to uncoil. That is a real disappointment, given the cost of these. I need them to be cranked up VERY tight and I think the adjusters are not designed to do that much recoiling well.
I wish the website gave a better understanding of the differences between them. Each one basically says it does exactly the same thing so why have them be for different activities? I also wish that they came in more colors.
ALL THAT BEING SAID, they are life changing for me and I will be buying more soon. THEY WORK!!!!

We appreciate this feedback! We know they can take some getting used to. If you find your adjustment dial is jammed, feel free to reach out to our Support Team to talk about our Warranty Policy! We also have a great video here (https://stoko.com/pages/fit#section-how-they-should-feel) on how Supportive Apparel should feel, this might help with how to tighten them for you.

The main differences are design features that work best for different activities. Our K1 Summit is more insulated for snow sports, while our K1 Tempo is a 3/4 length, with knitted ventilation for warmer weather or those sweatier pursuits!

Customer service was awesome assisting me with exchanging my pants. These pants really made a difference with my mobility, especially when I take my special needs son, who uses a wheelchair, for long walks. In the past, using tape, knee braces, medications etc, gave me very little results, but instantly, I became a true believer of the support these pants gave my knees. I still have on going issues with my knees but for now, this is the best product “EVER “ that I invested in for my knee pain. The only one negative thing I have to report is the band around the ankles are tight. I wish another design option, like Velcro or another type of fastener design would be considered for folks who sometimes experience edema to their ankles or have larger ankles.
ps. Looking forward to my next purchase.

Still a bit unsure but hopeful!

I’ve had mine for a couple of months now…just been wearing them to the gym (3 x week). My knee and hip issues are rather random…I got these because I’m planning a week long hike come July and wanted some support. I’m not sure I would like them all day…I find the waistband rolls which is quite uncomfortable. That would be my major issue…I don’t have much excess around the belly area but these surely do make a problem of what is there! I need to wear them for some walks and will once winter is gone. Suspect they may be rather warm when it’s warm out but must admit that hasn’t happened as yet.

Great feedback, thank you for sharing! It may be a matter of the break-in period and getting those cables regulated so you can potentially get that waistband a bit higher to a more comfortable point. This page here (https://stoko.com/pages/fit) is a great resource and you can always contact our Customer Support Team for additional help!

Multi-sport comfort

I am a snow skier and tennis player who has osteoarthritis, history of meniscus tear, and tibial fracture - none of which has been good for my knees. I was fighting a sore hip and chose the Stoko K1 Tempo tights for sports. Skiing was comfortable for both knees and hip, and recovery was easier than in the past. SInce I have vented Stoko's, I added another insulation layer for a really cold day (ski pants are not insulated).
Tennis usually makes my legs ache, but seems to be less with the Stoko's. I do need to be sure the calves are not set too tight with tennis, or those get quite sore. I anticipate being warmer (hot) on the court, but it may be a suitable trade-off for better recovery, even in the summer.
I find the fit to be comfortable (age 68 and slender)

Still Have Questions?

Stoko accepts returns & exchanges within 60 days of the purchase date. 

We encourage you to put your Supportive Apparel to the test before deciding to return. Move in them, get sweaty, and give them all you got. There is a short break-in period with your Supportive Tights. This means it will take a bit of time before your tights begin to regulate and feel comfortable on your body. They can be a total pain at first and challenging to get used to, Supportive Apparel is very different than any other tights or braces you’ve tried.

All Stoko products provide the same medical-grade bracing support, leveraging our Stoko Support System technology. It is really up to your personal preference what style would suit you the best!


All-Purpose: Both the Supportive Tight and K1 Flux are engineered to deliver support in a variety of activities and is our most recommended product for all-around use. From everyday activity to court sports to golf, the K1 Flux and Supportive Tight can do it all while also keeping you cool with knitted ventilation.

Ski & Snow: K1 Summit is engineered to deliver support and warmth. It was designed for snow sports, such as skiing, snowboarding, and cross-country skiing.

Run & Hike: K1 Tempo is engineered to deliver support and keep you cool in warm environments, such as: running, hiking, and training.  

Similar to other traditional/medical grade knee braces, the Supportive Tight provides support and stability to the body in compromised knee positions; however, the Supportive Tight achieves these outcomes through different means. The Supportive Tight relies on tension throughout the Stoko Support System to generate support, which is made up of cables that are integrated into the tights. The result is support that moves with your body and doesn’t compromise on comfort, aesthetics, or support.
