I think that trousers which are designed specifically to protect my delicate flesh while I'm sliding down the pavement at a high rate of speed are a better choice than anything designed for stationary work like tile-setting. Besides that, there are real differences between "padding" and "armor/armour." Work clothes typically contain padding, and are not designed to protect your knees from impact at speed.
Of course, better to wear work clothes than blue jeans, or shorts and flip-flops.
