I have been looking for a comfortable pair for years! Also don’t use them daily so the really expensive ones haven’t been at the top of the list. Today I was on my knees from about 11am till 8pm. and the knees don’t feel too bad at all. I finally tried out my new “Monster Pads”. Picked them up a few weeks ago at either Home Depot or Lowe’s. They were in one of those ramdom cardboard display bins. They look like knobby tire tread attached to scuba suit material. The wide neoprene straps are attached by velcro, and are wide enough and flexible enough that they don’t cut off circulation to the foot when you kneel. Only problem I had, was the tops of the knee pads are curved up to cover the knee when scooting around, and would rub on my legs above the knee when standing. I was wearing shorts, and with pants I don’t think you’d notice. And seeing as how I was down more than up, it was worth it. I payed about $15-20. Finally found a pair I’ll use for more than 10 min.
