Like most of you I’ve tried them all, probs had 3-4 pairs of the alpro pads and my knees are knackered. I bought the tough built gel-thigh support pads a few months ago and they are the best by far

Apologies for the late reply lee, I got them from amazon £64, tried many from the original pitmens to the alpro and I’m more than happy with these.

My opinion.
Hello again fellas, bit of feed back for you.
Been using my old pads until they wore out since buying the Toughbuilds.
Been doing 150x75mm wall tiles in a small bathroom in an old cottage, no room, part half tiled with a silly amount of separate faces and bundles of trim.
Used the hard shell clip ons.
Took ages to get them to clip onto the base pad, and unsure if they all pushed on properly.
As soon as I knelt down, my knee rolled very easily, and after twenty minutes, the edge of the pad at the top was pin pointing alot of weight on my knee cap as they won't sitting high enough. I decided to give them time to wear in and mould to my knees. A couple of hours later they we're still uncomfortable.
I took them off to check I had them on the correct left or right leg.
Both were, and noticed they felt more like a foam pad than a gel pad.
After showering the next morning I noticed my the back of my legs we're very sensite from the straps rubbing, once again, I decided to give them a chance to wear in, and give them another day. Thinking over tightening may have caused the rubbing and bad positioning, I loosened the straps a bit more than yesterday.
Nothing much improved today, and one of the clip ons fell off whilst visiting Screwfix.
Got home tonight and checked my legs whilst changing out of work clothes, this is what I found.
