Best knee pads I ever bought. You can wear them all day and don't slip around. Excellent padding for your knees. Can't say enough good things about these kneepads. Highly recommended.

Bought as a gift which was well received

Best one for my partners knees will be buying again love them

They do the job. I have an intermittently very painful knee which means that when my problem flares up I can't do any kneeling for garden landscaping. These pads are great, and because of them I haven't had a problem for months.

I have tried a couple of knee pads now and can confirm this Velcro style is far superior to the other types of clips etc. I always found behind my knees always got sore after using the other styles when the strap became bunched however the placement and thickness of these means that doesn't happen. Very easily adjustable with good length. These do get quite warm and sweaty but so do a few other brands. Protection is obviously great.

My son in law was very happy with them. Good quality and fit

It's early days they are comfy to wear, the important thing is whether they after time as the elastic stretches become like all previous knee pads ankle bracelets.

Husband has bad knees from being a joiner, he liked the feel of these as took a lot of pressure off while doing floor

These knee pads work well, but are probably not suitable for casual wear... I have not used these knee pads much, but I have found them very comfortable when kneeling on concrete floors, or any other hard surface. Although now a bit dusty and less smart than when new (let's face it you can never be smart when wearing knee pads - they look ridiculous) they show no signs of wear. So I recommend them, and to heck with sartorial elegance.

Life savers. Great quality. I should have bought years ago

Great fit and really comfy. Only groan would be Velcro straps are not long enough for bigger legs. I just bought some Velcro extenders and then their brilliant

Purchased these for my Son for work. He is very pleased with them and says that they are very good quality and very comfortable to wear. And he highly recommends them.

Mr...R.H

Really pleased with these, I'm a steel fabricator so time will tell if the stitching holds up with the sparks. Previous purchases only last a couple of months. Hopefully these will last. Maybe manufacturer with fire resistant thread?

H
Helen

Love the size of these, so easy to put on so comfortable to wear slip down a little but still comfy. Wore for several hours in garden knees are usually painful and swollen and can only spend a short time kneeling they really are excellent for any kneeling job and price wise great value for the money. I love em. ❤️

Helen Hill

Got these for my husband as he had a knee replacement. Better than expected and the gel padding is really good. I've even used them. Definitely recommend even with knee replacement

W
Wayne

Great knee pads. Good padding and strong stitching They stay in place on the knees as there is enough material above knee with a good Velcro strap to secure to each thigh. This along with Velcro straps below knee keeps pads securely in place. You pay a little more but well worth the money. Best knee pads I've found to date. 👍

Brilliant knee pads all around and wish I'd ordered them for my partner sooner. He couldn't be happier with them - they are wide, comfortable to wear all day, soft to the knee but hard enough to not feel the impact beneath. He is especially happy that they can be put on and off disregarding the state of the rest of his clothes in terms of mud/dirt. His job is very physical so ease of movement was a must. The Velcro is also heavy duty and feels secure

These are great. They are very bulky, so not fun to walk in and when you kneel, you feel quite raised from the ground, creating a slightly odd centre of balance that takes some time to get used to. However they are very comfortable and provide a lot of padding. It makes kneeling jobs so much easier not having to think about your knees. They seem durable enough to withstand kneeling on any surface and worked well both outside and indoors. All I'd say is if your job involves a lot of walking around, going up & down ladders etc. you may want to look at some less bulky, closer fitting knee pads as it's difficult to forget you're wearing these vs smaller pads that feel part of your clothing.

I normally hate kneepads because they're often more hassle than they're worth, especially the straps. For DIY and gardening, I'm forever using kneeling pads, which are fine, but they're not ideal either. These kneepads are a gamechanger! They are very comfortable and slippage is minimal, even when walking about. I can wear them for hours, and barely notice they're on. I can't recommend these enough, I'm so pleased with them!

They give added protection on the knees working on the job

When I first wore them I wasn't sure, because when I stood up I felt like my kneecap was out of place. I figured I was wearing them too high, and trying to place my knee in the middle of the pad. I tried them again after a month and positioned them so that my knee was right near the top, and they are actually very comfortable. When you kneel down, you want the pad to actually be mostly protecting your shins, with the knee near the very top of the pad. Because when you kneel down you kinda want the force to go through your shins, not your knees."

Having read a few reviews but mostly doing the wrong thing and focusing on the negative reviews I still decided to go ahead and buy a pair of these knee pads and I'm so pleased I did, they fit great, really snug, the straps don't cut into the back of my knee and they don't move or slide around nor up and down my knee, the Velcro fastening is very strong and they even come with extensions if needed, within minutes of putting them on I'd forgotten I was even wearing them, perfect, would definitely recommend these."

I wanted 2 pairs of knee pads but only ordered 1 so I didn't wast money on the second pair if they were no good. It wasn't long before I placed an order for the second pair. The front is strong enough that you could drop to you knees on gravel and not feel it. The inside is soft and comfortable. I wear mine over trousers and are fine but wearing them with shorts can irritate the back of my legs but is to be expected. I would definitely recommend these. I probably won't buy any other pair as they are built to last a long time. I use them around the allotment and at home for diy

C
Craig

This is a superb if not over engineered set of knee pads which even when used on the harshest of metal treadplate floors and broken concrete don't hurt the user as all the outside is solid plastic with a thick pad behind so allows the user to be cushioned from the impact or surface. Having worn these for several hours at a time during a refit I was thankful that you could easily flick off the velcro to mean they were still on but not tight at a break as walking is not easy when they are on tight

Arthur

Comfortable Knee pads that saved me from cracking sound in my knee during a lock down where no doctors wanted to see me. Overall very happy, wished I started to use them long ago in my carpentry career.

B
Becky

My partner loved these. They are extremely comfy when being worn and whilst kneeling down. Lightweight and don't slip down whilst he is wearing them. Haven't had them that long but looks like they will last a while. Very pleased
