Product Overview
Working on your knees for extended periods is a significant physical challenge that can lead to long-term joint issues if not managed correctly. The Foam Pocket Kneepad in Black provides a straightforward yet essential solution for professionals who require consistent protection throughout the working day. These pads are specifically designed to integrate seamlessly into work trousers featuring dedicated knee pockets, offering a cushioned barrier between the wearer and hard, uneven surfaces.
Key Features
- Shock-absorbing foam construction: The material is engineered to distribute pressure evenly, reducing the direct impact on your joints when kneeling on concrete or timber.
- Universal pocket fit: The dimensions are tailored to fit standard workwear knee pockets, ensuring they stay securely in place without shifting during movement.
- Lightweight design: Despite their protective qualities, these pads are remarkably light, meaning they won't add unnecessary bulk or hinder your gait while walking.
Design & Performance
Manufactured from a high-density foam, these pads balance flexibility with structural integrity. Unlike rigid external guards, these internal pads move with the garment, providing protection that feels natural and unobtrusive. The black finish ensures that should any part of the pad become visible through the pocket opening, it remains discreet and professional. The durability of the foam ensures it retains its shape even after repetitive compression, preventing the loss of cushioning often associated with inferior alternatives.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
While these pads are internal components, the customisation of the workwear they inhabit is a core service at MyWorkwear. Embroidery offers an exceptionally professional and durable finish for company logos or staff names, ideal for creating a long-lasting brand identity on your work trousers. For larger, more striking graphics or promotional messaging, our high-quality printing service provides bold, clear results. Every customisation project is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, ensuring your team looks cohesive and professional.
Use Cases
These kneepads are indispensable for floor layers, plumbers, electricians, and landscapers. Any professional whose role involves frequent kneeling or crawling on site will benefit from the reduced fatigue and enhanced safety these pads provide. They are suitable for both indoor site work and outdoor maintenance tasks where the ground may be cold or abrasive.

Practical Advice
For the best fit, ensure your trousers are the correct leg length; if the trousers are too long, the knee pockets—and subsequently the pads—may sit too low. When inserting the pads, ensure they are oriented correctly to provide maximum coverage over the patella. If you find the pads are shifting, check that the pocket Velcro or flap is fully secured.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your kneepads, they must be removed from your trousers before laundering the garment. Excessive heat and agitation in a washing machine can cause the foam structure to degrade, leading to a loss of cushioning over time.
If the pads become soiled, they should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can break down the foam's cellular structure and reduce its protective properties.
Allow the pads to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Using a tumble dryer or placing them on a radiator can cause the foam to warp or become brittle, which significantly shortens the lifespan of the product.
