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...

Hi there...I use it for running and it's an amazing help. So much so that I bought a second one so I can use them on both knees. However, for squats or deadlifts I think they'd be uncomfortable. But again, I just use them for running so I can't ay for sure.

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

If your client's floors are semi soft (i.e., wood floor), then I would not use these pads. They are quite durable, and should be used on durable surfaces.I recommend Crain Comfort Knees for your scenario.

This is the second of these that I have bought...the first began to develop pinhole leaks after 10 years! While I bought this pad for my back, I also use it routinely for my arthritic knees and it works fine for me. It is wide enough to cover the knee cap and down both sides when my leg is extended. The only drawback is that does not have a leg strap and will slide off if you move your leg around.

Not if you are an aggressive player. My daughter is an aggressive freshman player & they didn't last one week. The material tears easily & that will expose the foam inside. I say,save your money. The only decent pair we've ever bought were Nike brand knee pads.

I've not tried it, but it looks like "Essential Medical Supply Knee Walker Pad Cover" from Amazon should work just fine. It may not be an adequate solution, though, if you have anything seriously wrong with the knee.

I tried mine on two different people and it just can't seem to stay put. I suggest you find one that has a knee insert. Like a hole where you can fit the ball of your knee in.

I already had knee problems when I started using this brace so I can't say if it is good for preventing problems...but I can say that it supports my knee and so I feel that I would not cause more injury.

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.

Advice for people with healthy knees: If you're alright with doubling over the mat for positions which put your weight on your knees, then go for the Harmony. The Harmony mat bends and unbends really easily. I never feel hassled when I fold the mat over to protect my knees. Also, Harmony's thinness makes it ideal for balance poses. I sometimes find that cushier mats affect my balance. However, if you suffer from knee issues, then disregard everything I just said and get the density. My husband has had knee surgery after sports accidents, thus he uses thick mats because of existing miniscus damage. It's imperative that he do so, because knee issues never go away and only get worse over time.

I would not recommend these for playing Beach Volleyball. These Socks are a great product, but are basically made to wear when using fins. They make getting your foot in and out of the fins a breeze! For Beach Volleyball, I would recommend a water shoe with a harder sole.

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.

My experience is that pretty much any of these will be at least a bit uncomfortable simply because you aren't meant to rest so much weight on your shin and knee for extended periods of time. I would overall recommend this model, but would also recommend getting a padded cover for the pad, which will give you a bit more comfort.

I dont know if it is good for preventing knee problems, but the support it gives keeps me from re-injuring my knee.

you probably can but they have a tendency to slide from left to right on your knee if you move around too much. They would give some comfort but probably not worth the effort of keeping them straight. One of the rectangular foam pads used for gardening etc. May be a better option.

I have 16" knees and the large fit me well. I'd suggest you get an XL if they are available. RE: padding - I am almost 50 and I hit the floor a lot and I think these knee pads provide adequate protection. Maybe if you hit really hard you would need a bigger pad but I find these work well for me.
