Just rode for 2 hours in my new cheap endura knee pads, they didn't move, didn't rub, and the pad DID NOT dig into my shin when i pedaled or walked. All in - well pleased for £17!
Yeah, but did you crash on em? Surely that's the real test!

iirc you've got to crash on these ones twice as the might be ****ed after the first one
Mine are OK.
I am not keen on the rigidity of the pad, or how much of the sticky plastic stuff on the elastic is.
That said, we did three laps of Laggan without too much issue, although on the big climb I do push them down to my ankles.
Mine dig in uncomfortably, and it gets annoying after an hour or so, or instantly when walking. I like the fit of the sleeve bit though, and have ordered some d3o pads to go in instead.
I am sure they are fine in isolation but I also have TLD 5500 and they are on a different level in terms of fit and comfort.
I find them fine, I have a super expensive pair of Troy Lee and 7idp which are more comfy no doubt but are significantly more money
I've not ridden in mine but I hope they feel better for riding than they do for trying on.
I rode in mine on Sunday and they were fine. I went further and fell off as well and protection was fine. Only issue being some grit found it's way under the pad on the left side so got a few cuts.
In preparation for Sunday's test and to be properly scientific I also fell off two weeks ago wearing my Dainese Trailskins. These ended up around my ankles so just as well I didn't land on my knees. In comparison the Endura pads are very stable.
Very good for £17 really and minime rode in his all day with no comfort issues.
