I bought two pr of these for my bf and I to add to our Marty the circus zebra (Madagascar3) costumes. They are really soft and fluff up nicely.  I have not worn them for any length of time so I cannot speak to the shedding issues others have stated. They are super comfortable.... the elastic is not too tight...(for either my bf or I).  They are lined with a silky material which allows them to hang off your calf with some weight as well as provide a non itchy experience. These arrived within a day and a half from ordering.  I tend to be a nite owl so I was very impressed with the timeframe between order and arrival.  All in all... a great product at a reasonable price.  Check out their storefront as they offer a lot of fun products.
