Side by Side Comparison of: Mizuno

We bought these to replace a previous pair that we got that were too small (different brand). These fit great. And my niece said they don't slip during her games. Wet will definitely buy again when she needs a different size.

Love these knee pads for my daughter. Only with there was a way to make them never stink!

Knee pads are fine....my opinion is they run a little small, or maybe we should have ordered a larger size. Either way, these pads are fine, no complaints.

Daughter wanted a slimmer style kneepad for volleyball and she has really liked this set. Has held up to 4-5 days of volleyball a week for several months now, and still going strong.

My daughter has been wearing Nike kneepads for 3 years now since it is the only brand I am familiar of. I only noticed Mizuno from the volleyball club player wearing them. Apparently, it is the recommended brand of volleyball apparel. This is the first time I have bought anything of this brand.My 14-year old daughter is 5’7 in height, 118 lbs in weight and has a knee circumference of 13”. I bought the medium size of this knee-pad and it fit perfectly. It has ample padding (but bulkier than the Nike she had), which is really good. My daughter is not hesitant to dive when the situation calls for it. I had to remove/cut the white plastic tag though. It irritates her skin. I wish that, they will manufacture something that is tag-free. Other than that, my daughter is happy with this knee-pad.Now, I have to buy Mizuno shorts and shoes to compliment the knee-pads.

Great knee pads with great support. I recommend them to all my volleyball players and they have never complained about them and they have never bought replacements due to them becoming too stretched.Great pads, would recommend them to any volleyball player who likes to dive.Note: If you are considering if you should get knee pads, you SHOULD. I messed up my knees playing and wish I wore them despite that they didn't look "cool" when I was in highschool.

Took my measurements and it said I was a medium, they are a lot tighter than expected and kind of uncomfortable but it gets the job done. Next time I'll go for a large.

I bought a medium and I considered getting a small until reading other reviews. I suggest definitely sizing up because the medium turned out to be pretty tight but I'm assuming it will stretch out over time. Great product!

Used it for the Spartan Super Race this past weekend and it helped a lot when used during the obstacle where you have to crawl under the barbed wire. They run very tight so unless you have very skinny legs go with the large!

I've been playing volleyball for two years now on the high school level (both Junior Varsity and Varsity) and I thought it was time to upgrade my knee pads. my first pair were very thick and bulky which made them very uncomfortable so that made me want to get new ones that were thinner. I saw these and thought they were perfect! The shipping was quick and they look and feel like exactly what I wanted. The only negative thing is that they are a little tight. I ordered a medium, fearing that a large would be too big but I regret not ordering a size up! So when purchasing these, its best to ORDER A SIZE LARGER THAN YOU ACTUALLY ARE!I've been trying to stretch them out by putting them around jars that are pretty wide, and that seems to be helping. Overall these are great knee pads and after I stretch them out I am sure that I will love them!

I'm a volleyball coach and my own children were in need of new kneepads. I prefer the low profile type of knee pads. My girls love them. They fit great, do not slide down and give complete protection. They liked them so much I announced to my team that if and or when they are in need of new knee pads to buy these. I have placed a couple order for parents already. Great item and well priced. These are a must.

The LR6 is very comfortable to use and very easy to wear. It doesn't inhibit movement and doesn't limit range of versatility even during intense games. Unfortunately, although the compact size, there are sudden knee impacts that are not 100% protected. And after washing it for some time, the rubberized/gartered part doesn't keep it's shape making it loose. Because of this, there is a tendency to keep on pulling my kneepads up every now and then during the game, which shouldn't be, specially when focus on the game at hand should be on top of my attention. But all in all, the LR6 is 80% of what i have expected it to be. If only i have the budget to get both the MS1 and the LR6, i would buy them both, just to compare which model would suit be more. Kudos, though, to the forever-improving technology of Mizuno!

not enoughpadding.. got the volley country ones they seem much better

I bought these in size medium but they ended up being too small, for reference, I am 5'8", 135lbs, and my measurements said I was a medium. Definitely size up or you will be feeling squeezed. Re ordered a large and it fits pretty well.

Runs really small.

Good size for children. Instructions for sizing seem correct. Padding a little thicker than I expected but daughter said they are comfortable.

These kneepads fit snug, too snug for my volleyball player. I ordered a medium for my kid who is tall (64 inches), thin (105 lbs), and 12 years old. I returned them and did not opt to try a size large as I think those too would have fit snug. Despite the poor sizing, these are nice kneepads with good padding. I am not sure what age group these would fit, but I am sure they would work well for kids in the high single digits.

They are ok, but they rip easily. My daughter has had them for a short time, and she uses them only for games, and they are ripping already. She may have used them 5 or 6 times.

Medium was too small and had to pay over $6 to return. Won't be ordering a bigger size since I had to pay to return. Disappointing to be a prime member and have to pay to return.

At first, these pads were awesome, great support and protection. However, after using them for a short time, the pads became distorted and flat. Almost as though the pads wouldn't "inflate" in certain spots. I just purchased an Asics brand, so I will see how they compare with those. For the price, I was hoping for a little better quality. Didn't last more than 1 season.

Run very small!

These ran small. They were very tight around the knee.

Way too small. Needs size chart. Cheaper to keep than send it back.

The kneepads were way too tight and we had to send them back.

Too small, could fit a child.

Very disappointing!very thin padding protect nothing.I bought a asics knee pad for 25% less and they give 10 times more protection.

It has no coverage, poor quality, and the return policy gave me no time to return it back, and now I have a pair of kneepads that don't fit me.

Package was already opened and knee pads appear used.

Owned for a week. Friction melted straight through the fabric.

I purchased these for my daughter for her school season, and despite washing (delicate cycle) in cold water & being hung to dry, they ripped after not much use. I bought a second pair (in December) for her to use for club season, which she wears for tournaments only (so far, two tournaments) and they, too, have a huge rip. We did not have the trouble with sizing that many others experienced. I have messaged Mizuno to express my disappointment.Update 2/9/15 - After sending photos of my daughter's knee pads & proof of purchase, Mizuno sent out two replacement pairs. Their customer service was great. Hopefully these knee pads will withstand regular use.
