I have used those in the past. Next time you need some, try the
snickers inserts. Double the price, but found they dont squish as much
as those black ones. Also the bit your knee cap is pressed against is
a much thicker wedge shape.

I'll check those out ta.

Someone asked about the area of trousers wearing out on the knees. Yes
they do eventually but by that time the trousers are worn out anyway.
In that state they are ok for painting in or other throw away tasks.

100% agreed

Another plus point I would mention about the snickers are the elephant
ears pockets on the front of some versions. Very handy for small
tools, phones and things, but then I never got on with carrying a big
hefty tool belt.

I can't do tool belts either. I fall into the FB category having a 42"
waist and a 52" chest. Bloody near impossible to get a tool belt that fits &
doesn't slip down.

Pockets are the way forward :-)
