First a disclaimer: I purchased these knee pads not for gardening, but to help my 17-year-old one-eyed pug exercise. She's very weak in the hind legs, so during our "physical therapy" sessions, I have to walk around on me knees helping her walk around. These pads are excellent for preventing the pinched nerves and knee pain I developed walking on my knees without them--the padding is excellent. I'm a small person however, and these are fairly large and tend to slip around after a while, or if I do not secure the velcro tightly. If I had to do it again, I might go for athletic-type knee pads just to have something that stays in place 100 percent of the time. Then again, athletic versions might not be as protective as they're not designed for long-term knee pressure. These are pretty good though, and I don't regret buying them.

I love these knee pads. It makes it so much easier to slide around the yard and pull my weeds. They also help me when I hand mop my kitchen and bathrooms,

After reading the glowing reviews given by others, I am a bit disappointed in this product. First of all, the straps seem short. While I have only had a knee pad pop off once, I really have to stretch the material to get what seems to be a secure attachment of the velcro. I also wish that the plastic was smooth, because mud gets caught in the decorative grooves. They do seem to protect the knees well. For the same money, however, one can get the heavy-duty knee pads that concrete finishers wear, with decent straps and a shape that conforms more to a real knee. I wish that I had thought of looking to see what is available at a lumber yard or home improvement store before I bought these.

These are really very comfortable! I have tried several pairs and decided on the Monica L. signiture model...... she used these extensively a few years ago While laying flooring and others...these came in handy and saved her knees...Comfortable and durable. A good value allows more time in awkward positions while comfortable so you can do what needs to be done like laying things,,,,flooring ,tile , etc..

I got these a few years ago to use when I scrub our tile floors. They make extended kneeling less[...] your knees and back and allow you to plug right through your chores. If you will be getting up and down a lot, they are a little bit of a pain (slipping, shifting) but if you will be kneeling on a floor, in a garage or in the garden without having to get up a lot, they are perfect!
