NoCry Professional Knee Pads for Work, with Heavy Duty Foam Padding and Comfortable Gel Cushion, Strong Double Straps and Adjustable Easy-Fix Clips, For Men, Women, Gardening, Flooring, DIY, Cleaning

Spending a lot of time on my knees in artifact detection these save the body from crouched fatigue brilliantly. With them, I can can go all day in comfort. So far, after a week or so of owning them they even have some waterproofness to them in shallow boggy ground. Wet sore knees in rough archeological & wild terrain can wear away at the most enthusiastic commitment, so in a sense, you are not only physically protected, but psychologically protected by decent knee pads. Also no problems with cross fixing them at the back of the knee for stronger dexterity, no drifting of the knee-pads while walking on flat or steep Scottish ground. They are much better than my old foam ones & feel like they are built to survive a hard life. Time will tell on that, but even in the unlikely event of me managing to destroy them in a year, I'd come back for more. There are similar versions out there, almost carbon copies of the NoCry version, but with these, you are also buying into the excellent NoCry customer back-up, should they fail prematurely.

My follow up review. I badly broke my right leg (in 5 places) a number of years ago and found working on my knees very painful after a time. I have used various things over the years from cushions to kneeling pads to ease the discomfort, none really worked. I bought a set of NO CRY pads, delivery was next day. First class. The pads are excellent. very soft insides with very hard plastic outers. The straps have easy clips and are a simple pull to adjust. I have just used them for the last week solidly working on laying a new floor on a large house. I was working on concrete, screed, underlay and then wooden floors while fitting what seemed like miles of skirting. the pads look like brand new. my knees were fine. No pains. the gel makes a massive difference. I found getting up and down as well as walking around was no issue at all. I would not now be without these pads. great product are great price. I can truly recommend this product.

Ok so first up, obviously the video of the bloke jumping into broken glass was pretty cool but I took it with a massive pinch of salt and I'm not daft enough to try this at home. That said, for what I use it for, it's brilliant! I'm a fuel tanker driver and I spend alot of time, kneeling down at petrol stations to attach the delivery hose inlet pipe which is often just below ground level. One of the other reviews said "it's like kneeling on a pillow" and I thought "Yeah, course it is 🙄" but it actually is. It's really comfortable, with these on I could comfortably stay on my knees for some time without too much discomfort. The hard exterior isn't felt through the soft padding but it does protect my knees from the hard concrete whilst also protecting my trousers from the wet from the rain and the oil from any previous spills. Now to the one downside. They don't stay up. They don't stay up at all and every time you walk, you will have to readjust them before kneeling down again. This is a massive pain in the backside, especially as you'll want to remove your greasy/oily gloves first. If you stand still, they shouldn't slide down, only if you walk more than a few steps. Contrary to what they say, cross-strapping the straps really makes ABSOLUTELY no difference to stopping them from sliding down your leg. So, to sum up: Durable, comfortable, hard-wearing, well padded...a good product, BUT, would be 5 stars if they stayed up

Top notch !

Just for clarity sake I have to admit that I received a personalised biscuit shortly after my knee pads arrived with a message asking for some honest feedback so that's what they are going to get and I refuse to be biased by a biscuit. So here we go, the biscuit was a thin, square shortbread/rich tea kind of blend with an icing topping featuring No Cry symbols and had my name written on it. Think it was "Thank You Andrew." but I ate it a while back so can't fully remember. However I have to say I was a bit disappointed with the taste, there was something to it I couldn't quite identify, like either the icing or biscuit had some flavouring but couldn't quite place it. It wasn't awful, but made me not want to ever buy a pack if I saw them on sale, which is a shame. Still it was the thought that counted and I'm guessing there were some corners being cut on them, after all I did buy some knee pads and not a Rolls Royce. If Rolls Royce sent me one of those biscuits then I would be terribly disappointed, but as it was for a pair of knee pads I was pleasantly surprised and it was a nice little touch which I appreciate. Oh best review the pads as well, they are pleasantly surprising as well. Now I must admit I've not used knee pads that much as I try to avoid working on my knees. However I had a project over the xmas hols to replace the extractor fan in the tiny remains of the loft after it had been converted into a bedroom. So I figured I'd be on my knees a bit and needed some protection, especially due to my anatomy in that area. The tops of my shins tend to be quite bony and stick out further than my knees so I tend to kneel on them which is quite painful. So looking around at the large range available I started ploughing through the reviews and saw someone recommended the No Cry ones due to the fact that they hold the pads in place quite well. So I had a nosey and they looked good and I went for them. And you know what, they do hold the pads in place quite well. If knocked they would slide a bit and I'm quite a big person, rugby player type size and so getting through the hatch into the what looked quite a large loft area but then turned out to be smaller once inside would generally result in the pads getting knocked out of position a bit. However it turns out that kneeling on the edges of the pads is just as comfortable as the main part and so I would clamber in and my knees/shins would be fine and a quick adjustment and they would be back in place. So yeah I would happily recommend these pads. Like I said I've not used many pads in the past, in fact I think I've only used one pair which were hard blocks of rubber and not that comfy, better than my knees but not much better. These ones were perfect for what I needed and will happily buy more if ever needed. Actually as I was adding more insulations to the space as well while I was up there I was working on my back and sides quite a bit so need to check to see if they do any elbow and hip pads as those areas suffered a bit from lack of padding.

When i start my summer garden preparations, i find whilst the mind is very willing, its my back or knees that let me down in terms of how long i can spend gardening (and i don't do anything in moderation!). So over the years I've tried various kneeling pads and frames etc, then i tried knee protectors from Poundland, then later i saw these No Cry ones and decided i was a worthy case for something more comfortable that would allow me to keep going, whilst my knees floated painlessly on clouds of cushions of gel....... at least that what i hoped for..... The reality is that although these appear to be good quality, they are quite bulky to wear and i find the bulk gets in the way and the actual gel cushioned bit is relatively thin compared to what it could be like, and in comparison to the £1 foam ones from Poundland, there's not much difference between the two, in terms of the thickness of the cushioned element. I'm going to try a comparison exercise between all the various knee pads and knee protectors I've got and see where i end up.... but currently i am planning on probably returning these, as i get just as good a comfortable kneel wearing my Poundland ones. In summary, these appear to be good quality, but IMHO there's too much hard plastic bulk and not enough gel cushioning, and in essence they haven't met my expectations. I am surprised that these have got 30K+ reviews, unless they are popular with certain trade professions??

Comfortable and fit well

Easy to put on and comfortable to wear
