Going to get some new kneepads from TT cant decide whether to go for the alpro or platinum, could anybody who has either of these let me know what they think of them? any advice will be appreciated, thanks

I recently bought the Alpro pads, They are VERY comfy when you are down on the floor but tend to move around and slide down when walking around. Personally I wouldnt buy them again, I would either go for the platinum or the Alpro kneeling pad which is very good.
I think I tried some of the Platinum ones a while back if they were the same as Chrisroe had. They seemed more likely to stay in place on your legs and were not too high as are the alpro pads.

Try the Fento pads Andy (Andy tiling) bought a pair after seeing mine onsite . they are brilliant buy through a firm in Brum Co

I like the look of them mind

How much are they Steve??

About £68 get shorter size the longer ones get in the way a bit. well for me they do cos i'm nearly always surrounded by small triangles etc.

I've got the Alpro ones, extremely hard wearing and so comfy!!

When doing floors I normally wear boots which save my toes curling and the alpro knee pads keep me really comfy

I can spend all day in them

go for the alpros ,they are by far the best knee pad ever , use to get knee pain all the time but not anymore

Personally I like my bosch inserts in my bosch work pants, I can't bide straps round the back of my knees. Altho' I'm sure knee pads have come a long way since I last used them, (probably 15 years ago now!)

Decided to go for the alpro, and guess what... OUT OF STOCK

They must be popular then

i bought two pair;s of B&Q special;s today £29 !! they have done me for year;s no bad knee;s here!! it;s just the rest of my Body that;s the problem lol

Tell me about it

CTD have rubi air need pads for a tenner at the moment, can't go worng with them at that price. i always take the straps of as i have never found a pair that don't cut into the back of your legs!

i cant wear em anymore,fed up with pinching the back of legs ect...

got it sussed now tho ,i use a fold up foam excersise mat,when folded its about 500mm sq,with 4 layers to kneel on,what a life changing, smile inducing godsend

Alpro is the only ones I've had that don't

yep! I confirm that Alpro knee pad straps do not dig in at all..

I got the platinum ones in the end, i'll let you know how they perform in the week ahead. Janser also do the alpro ones but wanted £76 inc delivery, so TT's are priced very well.

You used your Platinums yet Phil?

Yes, been using them this week. They are comfortable , don't cut into the back of my knee, but do slip down my legs. i did tend to fall off them on monday a bit too, but seem to have the hang of them now. Sewing a couple of belt loops onto your jeans, at the knee's might stop kneepads from slipping.

Still inclined to go for Alpros.....

Anyone know where else I can get them?? TT are out of stock

If TT had got the alpros in i would have got them too, but i needed new pads for this week.
