As some of you may know, I've been looking for some old style top strap pads for a while.
While I'm yet to find any, I thought if give the sports direct ones a go.
At £2.99 a pair online I wasn't expecting much.
What I received was basically some padding with a strip of Velcro on the back.
After a bit of fiddling I have them positioned in (what I hope is) the right place.
First impression - they're a bit of padding velcroed to the pad strap!
Are they more comfortable than a non padded strap? Slightly, but I've only walked round the house in them so it's hard to say.
Are they as good as a padded strap? No, but with some alterations they might improve.
Are they worth the money? If you're ordering anything else from sports direct yes they're worth trying, just these plea postage works out expensive however.
Am I impressed? And do they make a difference? I'll get back to you on that after I've used them.
No expense spared on the packaging!

Simply Velcro onto the "fluffy side" of the strap

This is what is against your leg
