About the Pro Hinge Floor Walker Gel Gripper Knee Pads
- Real gel padding absorbs impact and resists compressing through long hours of wear
- Non-marring TPR cap the shell cap will not scratch or mark finished floors
- Pro Hinge design keeps the strap away from the back of your knee as you move
- Split comfort strap a split strap that keeps from bunching behind the leg
Kneeling on concrete, tile or subfloor adds up over a day. These pads put real gel between your knee and the floor, and the gel keeps its shape through long wear. The TPR shell cap moves across finished surfaces without marking them. You can lay flooring, set a toilet flange or paint baseboards without leaving scuffs behind.
Each pad pairs gel padding with a TPR shell cap in black and clear. The Pro Hinge design holds the strap away from the back of your knee, so the pad moves with you when you kneel and stand. A split comfort strap keeps from bunching on your leg. Set the straps snug, not tight, so you stay comfortable for the whole shift.
Pick another model if
These pads carry more build than a foam pad. If you only kneel now and then, the Ultra Light Knee Pads 318UL weigh less and go on fast. On gravel or broken concrete, a stitched fabric cap like the Tactical Knee Pads 343-KP may suit you better than a smooth TPR shell.
Use and care
- Brush grit off the TPR caps before you kneel on finished floors.
- Wipe the gel pads and straps with a damp cloth, then let them air dry.
- Store the pads flat so the hinge and straps keep their shape between jobs.

What buyers say about the Pro Hinge Floor Walker Gel Gripper Knee Pads
4.2 out of 5 on 205 ratings. Reviews word for word, including the critical ones.
These are the best kneepads available, but the gel pad isn't that durable if you use them often
These are the best kneepads I have found, but I use them a lot and they just don't hold up. I find myself replacing them once or twice a season. AT sixty bucks that kinda sucks but until they make something better I'll be using these. 6'2" I'm 240lbs and these bend and move with your body and are all day comfortable ...but if you actually use them, get them sweaty, or get them wet you find that the gel insert starts to move and bunch and then fall apart underneath your knee
These are the best k we pads you'll ever find
These are the best dam knee pads I've ever worn they never and I mean never slip down I never have to adjust them ever and they are super comfortable I love these pads. Ive gone threw many over the years and hated all of them allways having to pull them up I will be ordering more of these in the futureUp date!!!! The gel really wears down kinda quick still great pads just not as soft as they should be
Cheaply made
Theyre comfortable at first. They lasted 3 months before the velcro doesn't work anymore and they slide down constantly now. Great design but the quality is lacking.
All day comfort and easy to walk around in
Recently purchased these for a DIY baseboard trim project. Man, I cannot believe I used to do anything without quality knee pads. The gel padding was super easy on my knees and the flex made them feel like they were not there. I now wear them when doing my flower beds and even sometimes just to play with my kids. Great buy.
Not worth it!
If I could give zero stars, I would. The rivet broke in a matter of under two weeks while shingling…for the cost, they should have been of better quality.
Best knee pads ever
The most comfortable knee pads I've tried. Spent several days underneath a raised floor doing industrial/commercial electrical work and greatly saved my knees. When these wear out, will definitely buy another pair.
Pro Hinge Floor Walker Gel Gripper Knee Pads: questions
Will these mark my floors?
No. The TPR shell cap is made to work on many surfaces without marking or scratching them, so you can kneel on finished floors with confidence.
What does the Pro Hinge do?
The Pro Hinge design keeps the strap away from the back of your knee. The pad moves with your leg as you kneel and stand, and the split strap resists bunching.
