I use kneepads whenever I do Iai on hardwood, but I don't like to. They put too much weight on the tops of my feet.
I found the same thing. I looked around on the internet and finally found a pair that were just two layers of neoprene padding over the knee. It provided enough padding to stop the knee pain but didn't have so much that it increased the pressure on the feet.
