I jog about 25 miles a week and in my 50s. Recently started having medial knee pain. It's not preventing me from running and is an annoyance. Maybe a 2 outta 10 pain.

I'm looking for recommendations on the best knee brace or even if a knee brace isn't needed.

Thank you.

Figure out why the inside of your knee hurts in the first place. A brace is a band-aid which can be helpful in the short term. Are your shoes still good? Do you do any strength training? Any old injuries on that side?

Shoes are still good. I am on a pair of New Balance now that are decent. Have a new pair of Asics Gel Keyano 31s coming in the mail by Friday. Not sure why I went away from them in the first place. My kids are addicted to braces but I don't share that sentiment. I add weights based on what I can physically do because of injuries. Had patellofemoral pain issues in the past so I do additional leg exercises with weights to strengthen the supporting muscles. I do a combination of road and treadmill jogging. Knees have mild arthritic changes. No fractures or issues with the soft tissues.
