As with most cheap stockings, these bad boys will not hold up to rough play, or long time wear. While the rhine stones on the back are eye catching, and they are very comfortable, I could hardly tell that I was wearing rhinestones on the back of my legs, but they are poorly applied. There was too much glue used to attach the gems, so it sank through to the other side, when first putting on these stockings, it stuck to the back on every one, so there are tiny runs all along the front, not too big of a deal, but certainly not looking too good anymore. There are also tiny runs along the knees, from bending over, and a bit of kneeling, and in various other places from other snags. In short, these now look way more spider web-ish than when they started, and I was not being too rough either.

There are 11 gems down the back of each legging, and the lowest one is about two inches above the ankle, so they wouldn't interfere with most shoes, and they do look quite pretty. They are somewhat difficult to keep even, and straight, just like regular seems, only with sparkle! These stockings also rolled down my leg quite a bit when walking around, so I found it necessary to wear a garter belt. In general, the process of getting them to stay up was not worth the hassle, but if you are looking for some thigh highs, then this is to be expected anyway. The top does not stay up well, and will slip down easily, as well as roll up. They were a little too tight on me at the top as well, but I have larger thighs. For reference, I'm usually a size 8 or 10, and these were too tight at the top when trying to get them to stay up.

Sadly, I don't think these will hold up to much more wear after the first time. Even with being careful, they are all scratched up and covered with runs, just from everyday wear, for maybe 6 hours. The gems are all well attached though, and I doubt they will fall off any time soon, but they stocking will wear out under them first.

These sadly did not hold up to many uses. After about 5 or so times wearing them they are so ripped that I wouldn't even wear them in the bedroom. Sexy while they last, but ultimately not worth the cost.
