The material held up well and with little wear during our time using and washing the items then lightly wringing them out. Wasnt in love with the ending. If I keep them, Ill have to slit the side to get my foot in and add pull straps. I tried everything and it would go away. I like a thin sock and if I go with no socks my feet are going swimming inside from to much width. They do however a leak quite a lot so this is something that you should consider. This does nothing for shock absorption. The piping around the hems give them a nice rich look. Plus I tend to spend a lot of time tying & cutting & everyone is always ready to go before me. Overall I feel that this product is worth the price.
