I play with my two dogs in my livingroom by building a fort with openings I fit through. Then we chase each other. I used to use those padded kichen mats, but their toenails were starting to perforate them. Wearing these eliminates the need, and makes me more mobile. I can almost catch them now LOL. Padding, durability, fit are all excellent. I'll be buying these again for sure if these wear out. I'm a weighty older guy that loves his dogs and the action gets really intense. They're 60#s each and like to roughouse, so do I. These are perfect. They would most definitely be great for volleyball too.
