Do these last well on the waterline?

Though I haven't tried going swimming or anything, I would say yes just from my experience in washing it off. I really need to scrub with a cloth to get it off with just water.

Yes, I use them mostly in this areas, majority of colors show with light application and there is little smudging even if you have testy eyes.

They last ok.. Like 4-5 hours.. I mean they were literally $1 each-) so the quality matches the price-)

"Yes" they are very durable. Have been using them for over a year now and have not had any problems with them.

I think so. They stand up to water pretty well. They are very thick, too. And, they do feel a lot like cloth. Hope that helps.

I use them outside all the time, I have not had any problems they are holding up really well.

They last quite awhile actually. I change mine out weekly, even though I never see more than minor wear on them.

Mine have survived a few weekends going through creeks and mud. I am not sure about prolonged time submerged, but I have had them underwater for 15-20 minutes a time or two with no problem.

They are not as sturdy as the early blu-blockers but with care they will last a long time. I bought 2 pair 3-4 months ago and still on the first pair. I give em' a plus for the money!

Mine have been used in mostly salt water for the last five months. I spray them off good after each use. Have not had any problems yet. A couple of seasons will tell the whole story.

YES!!! and they are wonderful. They last much longer than the ones you wind yourself. Good luck with them.

I own these fins -purchased a few years ago. They have held up beautifully for swimming in the ocean about one to two miles almost every day. Their weakest point is the strap. Be sure you always wet the fins and put them on wet feet. Then the strap is no trouble. I even use these as my dive fins now, really love them. So comfortable. These are the only fins I use now - and I have many different types from before I found these.They would not be good for deep free diving, however,

Yes, these are very durable. I love these for travel. I used one on ship for a wet bathing suit.

I bought mine about a year ago and have had only 1 fail for me. they are worth it. at my local pool store they want 12 or 15 dollars each.

I have 4 different pairs. No issues. I used one pair as board shorts in water and no problems!

Very well. This is my second set. My first set lasted 10 years. Living in south Florida and having sprinklers.

yes, it lasts longer than i thought. If you don't keep in on all the time, it will last quite a bit. I still use them.

Yes.. they stayed active for the 4 days.... in and out of the water. They were great... a little smell to them.. but that is to be expected.

To answer your question, yes they can fail over time but two years seems too soon especially if both have failed. Only guessing here but maybe there is something in your local water that acts as a corrosive agent (can't imagine what that might be) that could prematurely wear them out. Were they installed vertically, with the tube up? If not, it may have contributed to the early demise.
