I didnt think much about the fabric foot soaking tub because it was really flimsy just came out of the drawstring bag. I normally use half hot tap water and half boiled water to soak my feet and I have to constantly add hot water every few minutes to my wood foot tub to retain the heat . For this fabric tub, I only added hot tap water half way because I wasnt sure if it was sturdy enough. To my surprise, it was actually pretty sturdy. I added some bathing salt, put my feet in and zipped the cover all the way to my legs. There was no leaking at all. I didnt add any extra hot water and the temperature of the water stayed hot for at least 10 minutes, much longer than my open foot soaking bucket. I was literally sweating from it. It was definitely a pleasant surprise. the fabric soaking top is big enough for both my feet and my husbands feet. My feet are size 6 and hes size 10. This is a very lightweight and portable foot tub and good for camping trips and road trips. Recommend.
