    They look good! you just have to try and keep them clean ,the foam they are made from grabs the adhesive and the next thing you know you will be scuffing all your natural tiles with the snots of the addy ,great knee pads though , I think am suffering from knee pad envy ! lol

    I've worn them all afternoon Doug and they are so comfortable and ridiculously soft to kneel down on

    Think, the difference between a course woolen blanket(my old Raimondi knee pads) and a soft feather/down duvet(Alpros)

    Have given them a good wash down tonight, but adhesive seems to have stained them straight away

    Hopefully they'll last a while

    Overall the best kneelers I've had
