    It's the only knee pads that I'ved used that the straps have never dug into the backs of the knees, The single strap tends to sit on the higher part of the calf muscle, They do with me anyway. Big old pads and like you say expensive but more than happy with mine. Supposed to have been designed by a German knee surgeon

    Have been using them for about 4 months now and can assure you that they are worth the expense. I no longer suffer from aching knees and the straps are very comfortable. Would highly recommend them.
