About the Gel Stabilizer Knee Pads

  • Thick gel-foam padding absorbs pressure on the kneecap through long hours on hard floors.
  • Duck-bill caps cut shin pressure and grip tile, concrete and vinyl as you work.
  • Split comfort straps hook-and-loop straps made to resist bunching as you kneel and stand.
  • Impact protection guards against bumps, scrapes and knocks during flooring and maintenance.

Flooring work puts your full weight on your knees all day. These pads take that load on thick gel-foam and a wide stabilizer cap. The cap spreads the pressure and keeps your shins from taking the strain. You can kneel longer between breaks, and you get up and down with less fuss on tile, concrete or vinyl.

Each pad pairs gel-foam cushioning with a duck-bill shock-absorbing cap that grips tile, concrete and vinyl. The split hook-and-loop comfort straps are designed not to bunch as you move. They give you a secure fit through repeated kneeling, and they sit over your work pants. You get one pair in black.

These caps are built for traction on hard floors. On finished hardwood or laminate you want a cap made not to scuff, and the Non-Marring Knee Pads are built for that. Knee pads guard against bumps and pressure, but they do not treat a knee injury. If you have one, ask your doctor what support you need.

Use and care

  • Wipe grout and thinset off the caps before it hardens.
  • Open the hook-and-loop straps after work and clear out lint so they keep gripping.
  • Store the pads flat and out of heat so the gel-foam keeps its shape.

    great.

    Finally a knee pad that Dosnt hurt the back of your legs and are actually comfortable. I'm a stone mason and tend to spend a lot of time on my knees when doing patio work and these are the best knee pads I have ever owned. Two main things I love about these.1. The gel inside of the pad is so much more comfortable and any other type of material and does not wear out.2. The front the pads are flat unlike most others that are round. This is a nice feature because you're actually nice and sturdy when kneeling on the ground.Would recommend to anyone who's tired of the old crappy knee pads and who's going to be on there knees a lot. Also I have had these for about a year now with regular usage and they have held up great. Don't think I'll be needing to buy another pair anytime soon

    kneel in comfort

    These are everything I want in a knee pad. I'm a bigger guy (275 lbs) and these have plenty of cushion for me. The flat outer surface and rubber pads give me plenty of stability and don't shift at all.

    Used to be good not anymore also smaller now what happened to this product?

    They used to be made good, not anymore, after a couple hours they wore out and made indent right where you put your knee and then became painful and ineffective.

    Good for the price

    I bought these to help with my home renovation. I have had two knee surgeries and it hurts to spend extended periods of time on my knees. These were wonderful. I did not hurt like I would have without them. At the time of this review I have used them 8+ hours a day for two weeks. They only knock I have on them is quality. Some of the stitching tore pretty quick. They still work but I question if they will last for years. For the price its hard to complain though. If I get a year or two out of them I will be satisfied.

Gel Stabilizer Knee Pads: questions

What surfaces can I kneel on?

The duck-bill caps grip tile, concrete, vinyl and similar hard floors. For finished hardwood or laminate you want to protect, pick our Non-Marring Knee Pads instead.

Will the straps stay in place?

The split hook-and-loop comfort straps are designed not to bunch through repeated kneeling and standing. Adjust each strap on its own until the pad sits flat on your knee.
