    Just a curious question.
    Seeing what everyone’s wearing
    I usually wear snickers d30’s for most carpet work and LVT untill knees get tender (if a long day) and I throw on my alpros
    Thanks!

    Swear by feedbacks, believe originally designed for ceramic tiles so well good enough for lvt, stopped having knee problems since made switch as redistributes your weight over a bigger area due to the design

    Using a mixture of supersoft xl "wrap arounds" snickers beanies, redbacks or the medical ones. Damn I have a lot of pads. Enough to cater for a spider!!
