Not perfect, but so much better than anything else!
I have been on a 10 year quest to find something that will protect my hardwood floors without having to be replaced every three weeks, and these chair socks are the closest I've gotten to the solution! I have wood floors, wood kitchen chairs, and 4 kids who truly do not understand the concept of picking a chair up (or even picking up your weight off of it) when you want to scoot it in or out. I started off with the stick-on felt pads, but those only stay on for a few weeks at most. I then went through a series of nail-in felt pads. Those work great - they stay in and the felt is nice and cushy - but only for a few months. After that, the felt gets worn down and the plastic the felt is attached to starts rubbing against the floor. They are replaceable, but once you've done that 5 or 6 times (again, 10 year quest), the hole where you nail the pad into the chair starts to get bigger, so they don't stay on as well and tend to fall out on the rare occasion that someone does actually lift up a chair off the ground.About 6 months ago, I tried the chair socks. They are soft and protect my floor, and so far all the constant sliding around has not made them worn. I assume that will happen eventually but already they are lasting longer than the nail-in felt pads. Why are they not perfect? Because after about a month they seem to lose some of their elasticity and don't stay on. It's kind of like socks on a baby, they are just always coming off. But unlike the felt pads, with these if they come off you can just put them right back on. I first put new nail-in felt pads on all the chair legs and put the chair socks over those - that way when a sock falls off, the felt pad is there to protect the floor until I can put it back on. Chasing chair socks all over the kitchen floor is annoying, but not as annoying as scratches on my hardwood.Another bonus that a visiting friend and parent of a baby noticed: unlike the felt pads, they chair socks are not choking hazards when they fall of the chairs!UPDATE: Having had these for about 18 months, I would say they have about a 12 month useful life. After that, the elastic is stretched out enough that they come off almost every day. Still functional when on the chairs, but too high maintenance to be worthwhile. For me though, these are the best solution i've found so I plan to just by a new set once a year.

Nice quality, color match to the floor more than the chair leg for a more subtle look.
This is the second set of these I have ordered. The first set I got, I matched the sock color to the wooden chair legs, and it looked a bit strange, so for the second set I ordered a color closer to the wood floor color and it's barely noticeable. Even though there are other, less expensive chair socks out there, these are really nice and thick, and feel high quality. At first it can be difficult to get them on the chair legs, but they do stretch out a tiny bit. I think that it sometimes does pay to spend a little more and get something higher quality. Overall, very pleased with these.

Fantastic little floor protectors
LOVE these!!! We have hard wood floors and Saint Bernards. Every time I put the felt pads on the chair legs, it would be 2 days before the dog hair was attracted and stuck to the sides oft the chair. And the felt pads lasted maybe 2 weeks before they were coming off and the chair would be uneven. I found these and thought, what the heck, I will give it a try. These are amazing!! They stretch to fit several different style legs on our furniture. They have been on our kitchen table chairs since Decemenber, 2015 and have not come off nor do they attract the dog hair. They stay put and don't allow the chair to scratch the floor. I will buy these again and again. I have recommended them to several friends that have hardwood floors.

See picture
They don't last. This picture was taken only a few months after I put them on.

Great idea! Saved my new hard wood floors
I was skeptical about these, not sure if they would work as I needed them to. I'm glad to say they are perfect for protecting my new hard wood floors. We have new bar stools which are constantly being pushed in and out, being used daily. The felt stick-ons kept falling off and I started my hunt for something that would stay on and protect my floors without looking awful. These are perfect. They slip on the legs of the stools and stay in place. They are hardly noticeable. They look like little socks. They also have grip inside to keep them in place. This item was such a great idea. Who ever thought of this was spot on! Highly recommend these.

They work !!
After going from carpet to ceramic tile floor, I needed something for the dining room chairs. We tried several different types from our local Chain Hardware stores but nothing stayed on for more than a few days. I went on a search and found these on Amazon ( I ordered small). They are great and work well. Been on for about 10 months with no problems at all. And we use the chairs every day. I'd highly recommend this product.

Amazing awesome
True to size and color. Got chocolate brown in both small and medium sizes. See pics. Small fit Queen Anne style legs. I folded small sock down 2x on front legs past the curve. The medium sized fit my other chair perfectly as well (those are folded down 1x). Socks are long enough to allow you to adjust the size to your taste. The Inside of socks have rubber spots to keep them from slipping off. Previously used stick-on felt pads that often slipped off leaving the chair feet to stick to the hardwood floor. Sold in 8 pack, for 2 chairs. These work & look great.

Not good!
Not stick to the chair. Very inconvenient.

A perfect solution for me!
I love these socks...I just wish they weren’t so expensive. I first ordered the for my chairs when we renovated our kitchen and put in hardwood floors. That was 5 years ago, and most of them are still going strong. I’ve had to replace around 3 individual socks as a small hole was beginning to wear through and I didn’t want to chance scratching the floors. I just received 2 new packages a few days ago and used 3 of the socks in one of the packages as replacements. I love them because they are so easy to wash, which I do about two or three times a year. I just throw them in a dollar store bought mesh bag and put them in the wash, then put them in a cool/ warm dryer. I find they stay on my chairs really well, only needing the occasional adjustment. In years past, I’ve used those felt stick on pads and never liked them much because they either slid off or wore off, and before I’d realized it, I was sliding the chairs across the floor with one chair leg unprotected.I bought the size XS, in brown, for my 1” chair legs. I have size S, in black, for my 1 3/4” island stools.

Finally something for odd shaped chair legs
Our kitchen chair legs are narrow rectangles with the back legs on an angle; it was impossible to find anything that fit or stuck on long enough. These socks do the trick - chairs now slide easily and quietly across the floor. We bought the grey set and they look exactly as they do in the photo. Only thing I'd say is that because the seam is at the tip, it's a bit bulky where are the material gathers and sometimes becomes unbalanced. Just requires adjustments every few weeks. Would buy again.

look out for the size
too bad.. i really wanted to like this. and i waited 3+ weeks to get them. received the items. BUT, they are not for square legged chairs. they are design for rouder shaped legs.... pictures seem they are also fitted nicely to the square fitted chair legs. but they are not.... i will use them, since i waited 3 weeks to finally get them, but shapes are little off...

Just what I was looking for!
These worked like magic for my dining chairs. I had been using felts for the chair legs but they kept coming off. The "sox" stay on. I have had them on chairs that are regularly used for over 6 weeks never had to reapply and they don't slide down. I measured and ordered correct size from suppliers chart. Highly recommend this product.

Great quality
I like the product very much. The last chair socks I ordered lasted 2 years so they are very good quality and stay on the chair well. I am disappointed with this order however b/c I asked for all small chair socks and the package included 1 large package which I can’t use.
