I think they're saying that, with normal use, the stockings themselves will hole (instead of run), but that the heel and toe won't sustain any damage at all.
I'm guessing they thought branding their nylons as 'clingy' would be a boon in the days when stockings bunched and sagged. Not that I have ever been familiar with those days -- I was born in '82 and nylons have always been like sausage casings in my time!

If this had really been invented I would never have holes in my stockings.
