They were kind of stuck together I the packaging which made them a bit difficult to pull apart to put on. So, that pulled some of the rubber off, but I was able to get them on, pull them all the way up my thigh meat, and walk around in them. They are amazingly comfortable, and the only thing is that the seem to rub against each other enough to roll down some as you walk. So, we'll see how they hold up in Hotlanta.
