FED UP WITH KNEE BURN PAIN?
It's time for some ProKnee.
The patented AP16 All Purpose Kneepad is a compact one-size-fits-all solution that offers full protection, featuring ProKnee’s iconic knee pocket shape and flat bottom design, which help stabilize knee joints to reduce joint wear-out and knee burn pain. Radius-on-frame perimeter ribbing provides maximum flexibility in extreme kneeling positions, while the straps are adjustable and pre-angled to allow two different strap placement options to meet your desired comfort level.
- 2 cushion thicknesses (5/8" & 1")
- All parts replaceable
- ALL PARTS REPLACEABLE: Molded in frame components make replacing parts easy, fast and economical. We offer a variety of individual parts and parts kits options to suit your every need so you can upgrade what you want; when you want.
- ADJUSTABLE RIBBED ELASTIC STRAPS are pre-angled to allow two different strap placement options. Robust ribbing allows the lock of our patented Smartlock Plus buckle to bite into the strap and achieve your perfect, secure fit with just a pull to prevent overtightening. This ensures no slipping and no need to retighten.
- SMARTLOCK PLUS QUICK RELEASE BUCKLE is an ergonomic, larger format buckle that is easy on fingers and automatically locks in your perfect strap length with just a pull to give you a comfortable fit you can work in all day long.
- TUCKED IN LINERS offer a snug, stay-in-place fit made out of a breathable wick tech, no wrinkle material for ultimate comfort.
- CUSHION INSERTS come in two thickness options (5/8" or 1"). These safe, resilient and replaceable cellular urethane cushions help absorb shock out of day to day wear and tear from kneeling.
- RUBBER BOOT is made from tough, non-marking 3-ply white polynitrile that allows you to kneel on any type of surface with 3/16” thick non-skid construction
- RADIUS ON FRAME PERIMETER RIBBING provides maximum flexibility in extreme kneeling positions. Molded from flexible, tear resistant plastic resin.
- LIVE HINGE creates a “Fit like a glove” feeling with a 10.5° maximum angle flexible joint.
- KNEE POCKET SHAPE & FLAT BOTTOM DESIGN stabilize knee joint to reduce joint wear-out & knee burn pain
What Cushion Thickness is Right for Me?
Over 75% of our customers prefer 1” Cushion Inserts
- We recommend 1” if the following conditions apply:
- work on your knees 8+ hours a day
- have had any knee problems or surgery
- if you weigh 200+ lbs
- if you prefer the maximum protection we offer
Important note about 5/8” Cushion Inserts
Some of our customers with thinner legs or smaller builds (men & women alike) prefer the 5/8” when it comes to getting a better knee cup fit. You can see from the photo that the 5/8” does provide a deeper knee cup shape, but less cushioning.

Excellent purchase, they fit well & they don’t slide around too much like other kneepads I have used. I’ve been using them 5/6 hours a day on & off for the last few weeks since I’ve got them. So far so good they seem to be holding up well no issues, no problems.

I spent 80% of my career on my knees on concrete, often times for 6 hours a day week after week grinding concrete and these are like kneeling on pillows. Besides the general soreness from being on your knees you won’t feel any knee pain. The hard plastic exterior makes it great for sliding as well with ease. Mine are covered in all types of epoxy and other material. I’ve had them for five years now with no issues besides one of the small pieces coming undone from the buckle, but it’s time to replace them anyway. I can’t believe how well they’ve held up after how much I’ve put them through. They’re my most important tool and I wouldn’t ever imagine wearing anything else.

I don't need or use kneepads regularly. But the two times I have tiled my floors, I definitely needed them. I bought a cheap pair the first time and they were only moderately helpful. So I decided to go all in this time and get the best pair recommended by tilers. This brand was recommended multiple times. After five straight days of being on my knees for several hours, I am so thankful that I bought these. I have had almost no pain despite being on my knees almost constantly. Highly recommend.

I don’t like writing reviews. Who cares what I think? But I want you to protect your knees. These are awkward to use at first because they are flat so you have to make sure they’re under your knees when you kneel and not slipping to the side before you put your knees down. Once your knees are down and the pads are in the correct position, you can forget about them and start doing your work. I’m accustomed to them now and I don’t think about this aspect of them much. I like that the rubber part is white so that it doesn’t cause marks on my client’s floors. Even if I’m just doing a consultation for a client and taking measurements for something not on the ground, it seems I always end up needing these because I need to look underneath something, or they ask me to look at their landscaping irrigation while I’m there etc. so I keep these in my every day use consultation toolbox. My knees are tough and I can get away without using these in dirt but I want to protect my knees, plus rocks digging into my knees distracts me from taking measurements and troubleshooting problems for clients. I have enough distractions when I’m covered in sweat, I’m answering calls and texts and I’m a mosquito buffet. I don’t need rocks in my knees as an additional distraction. These are made in the USA and you can get replacement parts if your plastic buckle gets in the way of your closing truck door (which would never happen to any of us since the cabs of our trucks are clean and organized and there aren’t any candy bar wrappers from gas stations stuffed between the seats so that they don’t blow out the window when our windows are down). I’m a full time professional contractor. If something happened to my knee pads I’d buy another pair without thinking about it as I need them to make money. If you can’t afford these knee pads right now I understand. Maybe you have a birthday or Christmas coming up. Find an excuse or a way to get some of these if you can. A new tool is definitely more exciting than knee pads, but if you’re able to spend more time on the ground, you can make more money and have good knee pads and the new tool that you want. It takes only one day of ground work in a bad pair of knee pads to leave you hoping that you aren’t on that same groundwork / floor work the following day. (This review was written by my knees so that other knees could read it.) Take care from a fellow member of the always clean work truck crew. (Ha)

They are comfy, I’m used to the toughbuilt knee pads with the non marring knee cap but these are something I’m getting used to fast. I love them!

I am a DIY home improvement person whose wife watches too many Chip & Joanna Gains shows so I am constantly working on new projects. I have had several pairs of knee pads and none have really done a great job. I am a large fella (275lb) and these old knees just aren't what they used to be. I was watching the "SO THAT'S HOW YOU DO THAT" channel on YouTube and Joe recommended these knee pads. When I saw the price I about fell out of my chair but then looked at my torn up knees and figured it might be worth it. Boy were they!These are one pad from your knee down your shin a bit so it is a nice flat and solid surface. I got the 1" version and even with the current blisters from last weekend's work they REALLY worked. I wish I would have found these about 3 jobs ago. Now I'm not saying I am now excited to jump into another bathroom reno or anything but if I do, these will surely be well appreciated.Very solid construction, replaceable parts, non-marring surface, multiple ways of securing, and very comfortable. Looks like your wearing big white blocks on your knees but that is just fine if they provide relief. I cannot recommend these enough. Thanks Joe for recommending!

Bought my second pair because I lost my first set on a job site. Absolutely worth every penny. I’ve worked tiles and hardwood flooring for years and have had numerous different knee pads. This is by far most durable and comfortable pair I’ve ever owned.

Im working on the ramp on the airport and I have to move luggage from the plane and also put them in the plane which means for some portion of my work I am on my knees because the bulk compartment for luggage storage is small. When it comes to protecting my knees, I think these are as good as they can get. I am very satisfied with protection. The foam is really thick and for my 90 kg weight, they feel awesome.The minus is that they are very bulky and they are constantly dropping down my legs unless I tie them so hard I can feel veins pulsating in my calfs.All in all, I am willing to trade some of the discomfort while walking for the really good protection for knees, not to mention while you actually do work on your knees, there is no pain at all.I will not comment on durability because I have only been using them for 10 days or so, but sometimes I have a feeling the strap-ons might break how hard I need to tie them.Since for me the most important thing is to actually save my knees and having a good comfort while working, I would buy them again.
