I bought one of these a few years ago. It has held up very well, but like regular velcro, it tends to wear out. This was the reason for his detachment. However, I am very disappointed with the "sock" between the velcro and where the foot steps. It was the soft, comfortable stretch material in my old corset. Instead, it has a thin, spiky, inelastic foam. I doubt it will last. very disappointing.
