I use some simple pieces of foam as inserts squeezed against my leg inside of the 'super climber pads' . At almost 3" thick they compress down to an inch and half of cool comfort. Also I wedged some shims in the pocket that holds the bar. Over time the leather gets worn and floppy. Make sure your gaffs are filed at the correct angle also.

suck it up? my legs are bleeding, have lumps and bruises, and are swollen.

correction, they are T pads. not that that matters.

they are on the correct feet and adjusted correctly. I tighten them to where they are tight but wont put my feet to sleep. the pads twist back towards the calf muscle which is causing the problem.
I'm having the same issue with my buckingham spikes with big buck pads
