Volleyball or other "normal" pads are only somewhat effective for soccer. I wear a pair of 661 mountain biking knee pads. Very thick so lots of protection but the problem is that they move on the initial impact be it diving for a save or falling off my bike. I'm picking up a pair of these to wear UNDER my pads so that the big pad will take the fall and when it slips or moves this "base layer pad" will hopefully stay securely in place and absorb any additional impacts or sliding. The only question is since these were designed for basketball and a smooth court will the material holdup to the "grass" I play on which is very rough and unforgiving. We'll see...

I wear them playing softball. They keep my knees from getting skinned up when I dive catching ground balls. Been wearing these type of knee pads for many years and they have saved my knees.

Yes, it will be big enough for your knee. I love this pad! I've bought three of them, one for my mom, and two for me!!

I a planning to have a local sheepskin store make a cover for me, for cushioning and because I don't want to sweat in the summer. They said it would be $50. I could put foam beneath this if necessary. There is a knee bursa and also the infrapatellar nerve that could be at risk if it hurts. There are also soft gardening knee pads that might help.

I didn't realize there were five different "kneedits". However, when making my decision, i tried a few on at a sporting goods store, watched and read a bunch of online content, and understood the mechanics of my personal knee issue. None of them are going to work like magic, but i will say this: after wearing mine during leg workouts, stopping because i didnt feel they were as effective as described, experiencing the pain come back, wearing them again and realizing that they do work (just not 100%), i decided they are a decent product.

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

No, not really, since you got a knee protector that goes higher then the knee cap, and just walking around with them will make it uncomfortable. those knee shin pads protector are made for cycling and motorbike riding since you have your legs bent and the knee shin pads protector will fit perfectly over your knee cap whille protecting the higher part of your knee cap. i use those knee shin protector while riding my electric mountain bike going up to 60 km/h in the trails and since i've had them, they protected my knees and shins quite well after those wipe outs. hope those info helped you.

Yeah.. it might feel a little tight behind the knee though.. but it might depend on how big your legs are... but you should have your knee examined if you are having sharp pains while squatting. You could have something torn and squats even with a brace might make it worse in the long run.

My son injured his knee in football to where he had a stretched PCL muscle which is in the back of the knee. He wears these for Basketball and weight lifting. My advice is to check with your doctor to see if you can do squats or it just depends upon the injury to your knee. My son doesn't use them to sleep in. I don't know if this answers your question but he seems to think it works perfectly.

Sorry, I meant prevent blood from pooling in the feet. I don't know how effective they are for specific knee joint problems.

I do leg lifts and in pool. do not know your physical fitness level. Unless wearing knee brace bad on knees

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.

If you can, consult w/a doctor specific w/sport injuries or at least a physical therapist. I use this brace daily for bad knee joint. It's quite durable, though also too bulky to wear under some pants. As for hockey pads, you'll wanna hold out for someone's answer specific to that.

I use the brace to play basketball after my acl replacement. The metal on the sides prevents lateral movement. And the lock prevents hyper extension. Your knee will only bend as it's supposed to. No problem with pushing off and landing. I recommend it.

Yes. The plastic shell protects against stones and other debris you might encounter. The biggest plus for me remains that they stay in place. I've bought a dozen or so knee pads over the years in search of a pair that would not slip down. With other knee pads, I've knelt down and found out painfully that the kneelers had slipped. It's a pain (pun intended) to find out that your knee pads have slipped, and it's also a pain to be checking them and tugging them up all the time. These kneelers fasten securely, stay in place, and provide great protection. I'm on my second pair; I wore out the first pair after many years. I myself would not buy any other knee pads. Yes.

These are a pair of the best fitting and comfortable kneepads I've ever used. As to use on a hardwood floor, I'm not sure but they'd be worth trying. This may sound bad but I'd but these kneepads through Amazon and try them on a piece of your hardwood and if they don't work, return them to Amazon. I use mine outside on the rocks and they give the protection I demand. Another option would be to check out KP Industries for a pair that don't have a plastic shell but lots of rubber/foam to protect your knees. I'm so pleased with my pair, that I recommend you give 'em a try and return 'em if they do not meet your demands. Returns are easy on Amazon. W.
