I have them and so do three others that i ride with, they are really comfortable and dont restrict leg movement which i think the knee and shins may do, the fox ones are easily fastened simple using velcro (easy on and off) also are washable too , they are fairly padded and are made out of a nice fitting fabric which is important to ensure you get a shinpad that fits correctly to increase the fitting feel of them when used. I would go for the fox ones really are great shin pads to be honest, and not overly expensive mine have lasted ages too.
