It feels good...it's a suede material with "memory foam" underneath. I think I got the 14.5 to 15.5?? I through away the receipt. But it said "average size" At first I thought it was going to fit, but I guess it's the nature of them. Their tight, and you really gotta yank and pull them to get on. I had to do it twice, but the second time was easy.
