I’ve used those as well. Comfortable enough that I can wear them most of a day without issues. They can also be thrown in the washing machine when they get smelly.

Doing 130-150 Christmas Light jobs each year, 85% of work done on roof kneeling over, I need knee pads that will not only cushion, but stay in place. I've tried maybe 15 different kinds in the last 4-5 years and these are by far the best. The straps are elastic and the velcro is substantial and strong. These are the only ones I've ever had where the velcro has never given way during use. They can be used for indoors or out. The center is rubber and outer perimeter PVC. Even though I bought 3 pair this Winter, the 1st pair is still holding strong and completely useable. You can plop right down on your knees without any discomfort.

I was cursed with skinny legs, no matter how much I try to bulk em up with lifting, so kneepads typically need to be fastened so tight that there is usually very little velcro making contact, which would always result in them giving way throughout the day. I've never had that issue with these though.

What kind of knee pads are you looking for? What will you be using it for, and do you need them, or just want to improve comfort? Tel us a little more about what you're looking for.

I have bad knees, and prefer to use knee pads that take the weight off my knees, and rest it on the shins (like the carpet/flooring guys use). They look like shin guards, and are very comfortable to use when kneeling, but are hot and heavy. So, if you don't 'need' them (yet) they may be overkill.

Otherwise, there are many "gel pad" knee pads on the market that are extremely soft and over-padded.

 

I am talking about ones that will stay in position without adjusting all the time. as a painter half of my time is on the floor cutting in.

 

I like the CLC Ultraflex gel. They are those light blue ones you may have seen in the store. Only around $30. Usually only need to strap the lower strap, so they stay off my knees and are nice and comfortable when I'm walking around. No Velcro to worry about either.

 

I know they aren’t specifically knee pads..but I usually have a 1’x3’ piece of blue foam board that I lug around to kneel on when doing that type of work...I do have a pair of knee pads somewhere, and they are less work than the blue board, but super padded 😅

 

Here’s what a lot of flooring guys use:

Or these, the AP16. These are going to be my next knee pads-$100.

 

I used to buy carhartts that had a small opening at the bottom of the double stitched knee that would allow for a thin (carhartt brand) foam knee pad to be inserted into it. It was very comfortable and did not move around at all. Do not have to remove them to launder them. Fairly thin but very effective.
