For years I used to use the Rubi foam knee pads, very comfortable but after a couple of months they would end up splitting where the straps attached, so with hardly any wear on the face they would end up in the bin. A bad design flaw? or a way to make sure they didn't last to long? It done my head in.
Anyway ended up getting the Alpro's.
Expensive? Yes, but after five or six years of use, they end up a fraction of what fifteen pairs of Rubi's would have cost me. The elastic does give over time, but I just take up slack by bunching it up and putting in a couple of stitches. Since wearing them I don't suffer any knee pain.

I've just invested in a new pair of Alpro pads, my first pair, I've been using the Rubi pads for years and go through about three pairs a year as the strap area always splits, anything else I tried always caused discomfort so going to the Alpro was a big change.
The are easier to put on and adjust from time to time with the Velcro where as the Rubi ones had a clip to fastened. I don't think they will reduce knee pain as the tag line says but I think they will reduce the fatigue of a long day on your chips and peas.

I can only speak from my experience and they Alpro's did help my knees.
I would warn you though that the first couple of days using them my knees were in pain, I thought I had wasted my money. Then miraculously they became the most comfortable one's I ever worn. They take a little while to mould to the shape of your knees so if you have any discomfort initially, just stick with them.

With the added bonus in that you look like a right idiot in them walking around, and all other trades will mock you for them (until they try them, then they will understand!)

I have had the toughbuilt gel kneepads with stabiliser for the last 6 months and have to say they are probably the best I have had. Really comfy and they don't end up down your shins or slipping down the side of you knees. I had the authopidic Alpro knee pads before same again very good kneepads definitely worth the money but for me it's the toughbuilt knee knee pads.
