never moved, didnt harm the tie downs. That is, until I tried to turn it on a second time. Quality of the leather is good and with the additional strings they can be adjusted to fit the feet snugly. It wasnt directly exposed to the rain as it was installed under the rooftop of the gazebo, but was exposed to moisture and spray. Other than the tricky sizing, I really like them. They are quite true to size but I can often get away with UK size 4 if the size 3 are not available. On top of that they dont seem to get the stinky feet smeel stuck on them and difficult to remove. The earbuds come with 3 sizes of rubbery nubs that go into your ear canal. The extensibility of the rods is a great feature, especially for sheets and blankets. Its small enough to fit in a small coat closet or multiple in a long walk-in closet.
