These are really pretty, feel great, and the silicone lace top is sticky enough to keep them in place quite nicely. It's almost a trouble to put them on. However, they are incredibly fragile...it is so easy to put a run in them, or accidentally rip a hole or gash. Make sure to trim your nails, file down any sharp edges, and just be very careful putting them on and taking them off. For the price, these are not "throw away after one use" stockings.
