These are the best knee pads I have found, they are easy to put one, and so very comfortable, you hardly know you have them on, and they pretty much stay in place..I bought 3 pairs, one to keep in my barn, for when I work in my garden, and one for household use, when I have to get down on my arthritic knees, and another pair for my Daughter..I highly recommend them.

The Fiskars Ultra Light Kneelers Knee pads are very easy to wear. I put them on in the morning to do landscaping, gardening, tile laying, household chores, construction projects, and painting. And 10 hours later, my knees are still ready for more work. I scrub them off each evening with a brush and soap and water. The strap wraps below the bend in the back of the knee which makes them so easy to wear. I even forget that I have them on. Mine are 3 years old and going strong with possibly 3000+ hours of use. Use good common sense for their use and cleaning and you should have knee friends for a long time.

The elastic is placed too far apart, for someone with a larger leg. Now, I'm not skinny, but I'm not a football player either. I'm about a size 16 and the elastic is designed for someone with larger legs. They aren't snug at all. I broke my ankle last week and figured scooting around on my knees would be easier at home to clean things, which it is. However, these keep flopping over and when I'm on ceramic flooring---boom! There's the pain because they are always slipping.

If you get these, have a decent pair of safety pins to make them snug because the elastic is placed too far apart and seems to be designed for people with larger legs.

These kneelers are soft and comfortable--but the elastic is just too long for me. That is, the overlap with the velcro ends overlaps too far and misses the sticky part. So I can't get them snug enough to be very secure. But then I'm smaller (if not really skinnier, sadly enough) than most people. If they fit right, I think they'd be really nice under-knee.

I also clean houses for a living! We wear these 5 days a week 9 hours a day. They are extremely durable and last and last! The only reason I need new ones is because the velcro is giving out, not the pad itself. But that is after 3 years!

I was disappointed that the velcro straps on these pads have a very limited range, and are suitable only for large knees. I have an average man size knee, and these pads fit too loosely. Also, the felt lining inside the rubber is starting to peel around the edges after only five days of wear.

Reading some of the reviews here concerned me a bit but these are awesome. I'm older and finding it more painful as time goes by to be on my knees. So far... these are easy to take on and off. They stay in place. The cushioning is perfect. Fit seemed to be the issue in some of the reviews. I'm an average size man and they fit fine. But if they didn't, one could easily tighten each with a safety pin. One wouldn't be using the pin to keep them on but just bunch up the elastic to tighten. But, honestly, I can't see needing even this if you are average size. I do wear jeans underneath these. Perhaps, if wearing shorts they might chaff the backs of the legs IF the velcro was not positioned correctly.

I wore these twice and they skinned the .... out of my knees. Yes, I had the straps adjusted correctly. Won't use them again. Use a kneeling pad instead!

The kneeling pad has worked beautifully! No more skinning my knees.

If you have skinny legs these pads are not for you. The straps don't have enough velcro coveage....

After spending a year or so carrying around a foam mat to kneel on, which would every so often blow away with the wind, I took the plunge with these knee pads. All I can say is, why did I wait that long!? It's is so convenient to put on the pads - Velcro straps, by the way - and forget about them. They are very lightweight and unobtrusive. My only small gripe is that they're not so comfortable when wearing on bare skin but I don't personally do that too often anyway.
