    I dont like knee pads as such as I find they cut the circulation off to my calves. I do however whear snickers work trousers with built in knee pads. Can work without them now even when tiling walls.

    I don't wear knee pads, I have inserts in my work trousers, so what do I vote?

    Bought a new pair of knee pads yesterday (same as my last ones). Feels strange at the moment trying to get them broken in. After a few weeks they'll fit like a glove though.

    My knees can handle not having knee pads BUT they cant handle getting shards of tile and general building waste stuck in them. Thats why I always wear knee pads.
