Plant pot risers/feet

I've just 'inherited' a large number of patio/outdoor plants in heavy containers. I need to get these raised from off the paving slabs and am wondering whether anyone has any experience of these rubber things:

Do they do the job? I'm particularly interested in durability.

I would go for the terracotta types but these can often crack and are certainly not cheap. The plastic ones also crack and split, in my experience.

I would have thought they would last because they are rubber.

I did go through a phase of saving coffee jar lids as pot feet. But if you want a lot quickly that isn't really practical.

We've used a mix of plastic and terracotta feet for about 6 years or so now, and have never had any fail on us. Having said that, the largest pot we have used them on was a 15inch terracotta pot. Not particularly light when planted up (I couldn't lift it), but not as heavy as some planters you can get.
