    They look like the pads the guy wears in the Nora vid, they look like they would work, try out some foam on a pair of football shin pads if your knee is playing up probably get the same effect?

    Seriously 11mm foam underlay doubled up wrapped in ductape. An excellent protector and advert for underlay.

    They got back to me today,

    Pads= $239 > £ 155
    shipping $65 > £ 42

    + vat if you get caught for it, import tax is 2.7%

    I`ve read plenty of reviews on Usa trade forums, and they all say there brilliant.
    It would be nice to find someone here with them though

    Are they the ones with straps around top and bottom? Or if not, have you seen those?

    blast from the past. My dad , as suffering from knee problems himself when i joined the trade purchased a pair of these for me. Defo the same, not sure if same company tho? He brought me a pair as he didnt want me to suffer like him. I hatted them, however my knees was in perfect shape, i didnt need them. (or so i thought)

    However, maybe i was a little stupid. I now suffer with knees. Even doing training my knees still play up at end of the day. Maybe i should of worn these from the start ?

    as for feedback, from what i remember they take all weight away from the knees. So i guess they are good? Truth being tho, they wont fix a broken problem. We all should really be looking at items like this now where theey take weight away from knees before its to late and where looking for something to help damaged knees.

    Sorry Neil, not what you want to hear im sure, but if we can educate others now, well others wont have to go through what your going through and what im going through along with what others are going through.

    I`ve always used the F-Ball pads. 10-15mm rubber, then padded out with with 2xlayers of u/ly.
    For as long as I can remember, thats been Cloud 9 super contract.
    My memory only goes back about 20 years so you might be right

    Yep, they look cumbersome, and uncomfortable, but thats not how there reviewed.
    Totally agree, its late in the day (possibly too late) but not for Charlie.
    Surprisingly, everything seems to be healing well, and its a massive relief from how I was before. Thats after only 2 weeks.
