Where do you wear yours? Why? I wear my gecko pads where the top of the pad is about 6 inches below my knee joint.

i wear it up the top end, where the spikes bit and the L shaped bit are down the bottom end eh.

Feel below your kneecap for the protruding flare of the tibia... top of pads about an inch and a half or so below that. When you tighten them down, this flare of the bone will tend to reduce upward movement of the climbers.

They don't make shanks long enough for me to get them placed at that location, but it would be nice if they did.

This, I believe, is the proper fit. You should have about two finger widths between the bottom of the flare and the top of the pad.

Many companies make extentions I know buckingham, and bashlin do for sure and I don't see why others wouldn't too.

I believe Climb Right also offers the longer sleeves, now, too.
