Measuring up - Knee Pads

How to choose your size?

Everyone is generally able to fit into two sizes due to the fabric we have chosen.

1. Firstly, measure 6cm above your knee cap and then wrap the tape measurement around your lower thigh to work out your ‘lower thigh circumference’
2. Match with our size chart to find your perfect size

What if I’m in between sizes?

We have tailored a guide below based on feedback gather since the launch of the black knee pads back in March 2023 however, the final decision will come down to your personal preference and your usage requirements.

Choose the SMALLER size if:

• You don’t mind a tight fit when it comes to protective gear, clothing, pole wear etc
• You are training kips, drops and flips on a regular basis, and you do not want to risk the knee pad slipping out of place at the wrong time
• You generally use the knee pad for hard impact training

Choose the LARGER size if:

• You only do choreography classes, floorwork classes or heels dance classes that don’t require high impact tricks
• You do not like the feeling of being ‘constricted’, wearing tight fitted items or if you have hypersensitivity issues
• If your calf muscle is larger than average

How should they fit?

• DO NOT remove the tags until you are confident with your size. We recommend wearing the knee pad for at least 20 mins on one leg to first gauge comfort and whether you have any hypersensitivity issues to tightness
• The knee pad should feel firm and secure when sliding along the floor
• They may feel very ‘tight’ at first however, you will need to ‘break’ into them as they will mould to the shape of your knee with at least 15-20 wears
• In a standing position, bend your knees until they touch the ground (and the back of your thigh touches your calf) a few times. If you feel that your blood circulation is cutting off or if it is severely uncomfortable, please size up.
