Review on 🖤 ASICS Ace Low Profile, All-Black by Michael Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

PERFECT for the house cleaner!

I do housework and when I kneel down to clean under the sofa or coffee table, my kneecaps hurt a lot. I've tried a foam garden cushion but it's awkward to carry around and you don't get much range of motion if your knees are on the same cushion instead of separate. Then I tried a pair of garden foam knee pads but they were green and very big so they looked silly and took up a lot of room in my bag. THEN I bought these ASICS knee pads and they are PERFECT! They are not Velcro, you have to put them on your foot, so wearing them in lace-ups all day and taking them off would be inconvenient. BUT it doesn't matter, because these are nice, comfortable knee pads that I put on before my boots in the morning and wear all day. I have them on my lap while I'm working in a room where I kneel a lot and then when I don't need them for a while I pull them up to my ankles and it doesn't look weird because they're low profile and with mine Black blend pants. They offer SUCH CONVENIENCE and have made my job easier! Here are some examples of how they have helped me in my work: I used to wash the bathtub, standing, leaning forward, holding the edge of the tub with one hand and scrubbing the tub with the other. It's hard on the back and VERY uncomfortable. Now I just kneel on the bathroom floor and clean up! Previously this was not possible as most bathroom floors are covered with cement and laminate. They also helped me clean the stairs. I just slide down the stairs, dust with one hand, then wet clean with the other. It's much easier and more ergonomic than trying to vacuum/sweep and mop a staircase. They are great and if you are a housewife looking for knee pads for work you will love them! FYI, they're snug and secure so won't fall off, but for that reason they can feel a little tight after a few hours (they won't feel tight if you're only wearing them for an hour or so). If you wear them all day, I highly recommend doing what I did and dropping them down to your ankles when you know you won't be kneeling for a while. (My photo has 1 knee pad around the knee and 1 around the ankle so you can see what I mean). They do NOT cut off blood flow in the legs, just improve blood flow a bit and give air to the knees (I get a little sweaty after a few hours, but they absorb moisture and control odor). If you're a janitor who stands up all day (or about to start janitor work), I highly recommend wearing compression stockings to prevent congestion, swelling, pain, and heaviness in your legs. I like a brand called Murse Mates, it has a lot of nice colors and lasts a long time. I hope this will be useful for my fellow housewives! I welcome you! We make people happy by returning home and help keep them healthy by getting rid of dust and bacteria. (PHOTO in the attached photo shows 1 knee pad around my knee and 1 around my ankle so you can see what they look like)
