Paul — maybe “rug burn” isn’t the right word, but I do get raw red patches on my knees. Based on yours and Mike’s comments sounds like sizing may be my problem

And this is why it’s great to have other volleyball players to give input — now I know to search out some better knee pads rather than give them up forever!

I use kneepads. My knees have been in pretty bad shape since I was a youth and if I didn’t have them I’d have to quit playing.

I can understand the “I know they’re there…so I’m gonna use them” concept, but I think that’s not a kneepad problem but a mental problem that can be worked around.

It’s better for me to gain a sense of relief from them rather than have to try and protect my poor knees and lay up when playing.

And burns? Wow, I have a feeling the pads weren’t the right size.

Nope, totally disagree. Followed the same logic, but all that happened was that I smacked my knees a lot and got water on the knee. Rug burns? Who the heck gets burns from their knee-pads?

Oh, could we have the same debate on whether to use ankle braces? I bet you could get a clear US/EU split.
