These stockings aren't too difficult to put on, although you're going to have to do so in the style of scrunching up the whole thing before inserting your foot to do so easily. Normal stocking/nylon stuff, no big deal. It is constructed of a mesh layer and then the outer layer that are, mostly, separate, so you will have mesh resting directly against your foot with the rest of the stocking over it. I didn't find it too uncomfortable, but it could be a sensory thing. However, the look was just as eerie and enjoyable as the photos suggest. I wore mine over skeleton-print leggings, and the effect was really fun.
