Mizuno LR6 Volleyball Kneepad

My daughter's go-to volleyball kneepads! She has bought only these knee pads for club volleyball since she started, and she loves them. They are thick and supportive, and don't rip or stain easily. She is usually a size small, but we ordered a medium and they fit perfectly, but snugly. Definitely run small so size up!

I originally posted this review on my blog, but after buying my second pair of these, I thought it was about time that I review them on here! I've been playing volleyball for 20 years - including Division I college volleyball. I still play at a competitive level, and thought I would share some detailed info on these knee pads. I honestly believe that you should consider the position you're playing when you select your knee pads, though, at the end of the day, you will probably arrive at the same decision regardless the position you're playing. For me, I tend to roll my the excess fabric on the knee pads down a fold so that they are not shifting when I'm playing. I've had too many issues in the past where I've had to dive multiple times in a rally, and the knee pad gifts shifted, and on the last dive, I get a massive bruise somewhere. Whether I'm playing libero or setting, I dive a lot. The packaging suggests that you "select VOLLEYBALL KNEEPADS suited for your body's size and athletic objective," so I guess I'm on to something. ;-) Some people like to wear knee pads that have a multitude of pads covering all sides of the knee. My main focus is on the sides, but I also use the top/middle quite a bit. I don't like to have too much going on because I have to sprint all over the court, so too much padding slows me down, causing me to have to use the knee pads even more. Comfort: If I have to play back-to-back games, I don't feel like ripping them off in the middle of the game. They become like a second skin. The packaging states that, "wearing VOLLEYBALL KNEEPADS too tight can slow blood circulation in that location of the body," so take note, people. You might like your spandex or shirt super tight, but that is a bad idea when it comes to knee pads. Design: The design is great. They had to have consulted with actual volleyball players before producing this one, because it's practical, and seems that everything that normally drives me crazy about knee pads is absent in these. Support: They have supported me through quite a few rough tournaments (rough = I am running all over the court like a crazy person, and we still don't win), but again, some people might prefer even more padding, and a longer sleeve on the knee pad. If you don't need that, then it gives great support. Colors: They come in traditional white or black, but they also come in black with highlighter yellow trim on the top and bottom, lime green with pink trim, baby blue with yellow trim, and pink with baby blue trim. While I love bright colors, I'm not a fan of bright-colored knee pads, but that's just me. I like everything to coordinate, so I guess I'm kind of preppy when it comes to my volleyball attire? Pros: They don't roll as much as some other knee pads, so they stay in place during long matches. They also don't seem to get stinky like some other brands. (Ever been in a volleyball huddle after the game, when everyone is pulling their knee pads down? P.U.) I threw them in the washer and let them air dry, and they kept their shape and dried pretty quickly. Most importantly, they get the job done. When I dive on them, it doesn't hurt! Cons: It's not a con for me, but some people might not like how short they are. The entire knee pad is only 6 inches. I had a difficult time thinking of anything bad to say about these knee pads. They are awesome! TL;DR: These knee pads are awesome, if you like a shorter design and don't need massive pads. For the quality, they're reasonably priced, and come in different colors.

My daughter is very hard on her volleyball equipment and these pads worked very well and were long lasting. Once her old ones whore out, we bought the same brand and same pads again.

I got these for work because I have to get on the floor a lot, and after years of doing that, my knees don't like it. These help A LOT and my knees don't hurt as much after a shift, but the elastic at the top and bottom is a bit tight and dig into my skin. The first time I put them on, I worried I might have to return them. But after using them for a few weeks, the elastic loosened up a bit, but just FYI, they might be uncomfortably snug at the top and bottom. They stay in place though.

Serves it purpose! Washed and dried and didn't shrink. Great quality.

Great fit

My granddaughter plays volley ball and we couldn't find any knee pads in the local store. So we were able to get these quickly and they work!

These really held up well. They got my daughter through a couple seasons of volleyball.

Muy buenas rodilleras, se ajustan perfecto usando la guía de medidas que viene en las imagenes, no entiendo a las personas que usan su altura y peso como referencia??? No les hagan caso, midan sus rodillas como está indicado en la guía y hagan la compra, se sienten muy comodas y absorben muy bien los impactos, se sienten duraderas, ya he tenido que hacer varios dives en piso de cemento y no se han deteriorado, no se deslizan al estar entrenando y tampoco restringen para nada la mobilidad. Las volvería a comprar.

Excelente producto, calificacion de 10.

I love these kneepads, they don’t protect the knee too much which i like, i dont like kneepads that are LITERAL Pads

Buena calidad, ajuste perfecto

At first I expected more sleeve above and below the knee pad for them to stay on, however upwind wearing them they have great elasticity and stick to my knees without falling off. I highly recommend these knee pads. P.S I'm 17, 178cm and bought L and they are a great fit so I hope that helps
