They are heavy and you notice it though.
I went back to the Snickers ones.

Footwear is different kettle of fish. You do only get what you pay for in my opinion and I do not mind paying bit more for comfort and quality.
Haix supply lot of police and security forces and are the most comfortable shoes I have worn.

buy my safety boots from local farm suppliers, look like brown jodpur boots and slip on/off easy. easy to polish up and last bout 4-5 months, nothing lasts long when your on your knees all day, protected by red backs

Boots I've had dewalt apprentice for about 7 years 1pair a year until last year when I got the dewalt titanium boots. They've been good lasted about 18 months 6 days a week. The toe is showing through now though and I think I'm going to try the hyena eiger boots currently in screwfix.

As for knee pads I hate strap round ones I find they constantly cut the circulation off. Plus you nip in to do a quick tap change don't bother putting them on and well you know the rest.

I wear snickers floor layers. Within 2-3 weeks my achey clicky knee isn't so achey clicky any more best investment in myself I've made I'd say had them about a year also

I thought you were giving us a break for a week.

I was going the start a thread on who misses Lame - no point now.
It was going to be a surprise for when you got back.

( there were to be not guarantees on the surprise you got)

Much Love,

Oz

Had my redbacks for a couple of years now and not looked back, they are heavier than other kneepads but I dont even notice them any more, and IMO are much better.

Boots I've struggled with over the years as my feet are quite wide and a lot of the boots I've tried the toecaps dig in, so I tend to stick to Cofra boots, and normally go for the goretex lined ones as its nice to have warm dry feet through the winter.

They are very good but they are just so heavy, that said my missus just tumble dried my snickers ones and they are now tiny!!
