I play a sport that requires me go to my knees hard and fast and then fight from a down position. Will these keep my knees safe from the fall?

Depends on the sport. Other martial arts may require more or less padding. I train Brazilan Jiu-jitsu and find that these stay on and protect adequately. Since BJJ has much ground techniques, these pads are very useful. Just be sure that you size them correctly according to the website.

It works fine for me for use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. We use thick mats for the flooring. Not sure what sport you play but if you get slammed hard or do hard shoots you might feel it. Also depends on your knees. It does provide protection but I'm not sure what kind of sport you're referring to. Sometimes I do feel a little shock still.

Hi William - I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and we drill from feet to floor and grapple on the mat. I haven't had any knee issues when wearing these pads. I love them and will keep buying them when they need to be replaced. I hope this answers your question. Please take note that they are sold individually - so order 2!

I wear one because my knee was taken out by an accident. I do not wear them everyday, but when I do they help and they do no harm.

I would say that these pads are meant for protection, not for sliding (however, I have not tried to slide with them :)

I have not used my knee pads indoor,but we just had a new floor put down by 2 professionals,and both men wore these particular knee pads on their knees,and there was no damage to the flooring at all.

I was in mud up to my ankles and they worked just fine for me; no slipping or sliding. Hope this helps with your question.

Boxing doesn't use elbows or knees, so I'm unsure how to answer... but I use them for TKD-kickboxing Micah Brock style... Lots of elbows and knees. I'm 5'11" and 145lb, the XS fit my elbows, the S fit my knees. They keep me from getting rashed up and bleeding. Make my sparring partners happier, too. We have to wear full gear when sparring with hands, kicks, knees, elbow, and apparently soon allowed to use head butts. Should be interesting... -Aleta

It will work for any sport, you can even take out the plastic supports on the side if you do grappling. The best soft knee brace on the market in my opinion.

I don't think they're really needed. My daughter likes to straighten her knees and hold her feet a few inches above the ground. That way she is always ready in case she needs to check her balance or slow down.

I think so. I have to get on my knees sometimes for my work and these really save my knees. Hope this helps.

I have these headphones and they seem to fall off my head easily. I would not recommend to use these while you play sports. I also highly doubt that they are sweat resistant.

I don't know. I do know that they are pretty functional and do a good job of protecting my knees. when properly adjusted they stay up

I would say no - they have little 'points' on them for traction when wet. If you were to slip and land on a knee or something, you'd tear it up pretty good.

I would say no due to the material being so soft and the mesh knee has a lot of space before actually touching the knee cap. I would suggest a brace that has metal inserts on the sides to prevent kneecap dislocations. It is what is recommended. Hope this helps.

I would still use a separate guard. I do not really notice too much support knee wise just decent muscle compresion.

These compression sleeves will provide about as much protection as a pair of thick knee socks. I have not noticed any improvements in my agility due to the compression sleeves, though they do reduce to some degree the fatigue of standing or sitting for a long time.

Not at all. When you put them on correctly they stay in place no matter how rigorous your workout is. Put it this way.. I wear them when playing basketball, which involves sprinting and jumping and bumping into other players. You will not be disappointed with these.

In my opinion this knee pad provides protection when you land on your knees while playing sports like soccer, basketball etc. It does not provide the support needed for squatting with weights. You should look at products like this ...http://www.amazon.com/Lifter-Weight-Lifting-Supports-Training/dp/B00BTZAMIK/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1424548026&sr=8-9&keywords=knee+protection+for+weight+lifting
