Warning - Not for big feet

I liked the idea of these gaiters - all the stretchy type I've tried get holes around the ankle very quickly due to occasional ankle rub. This seemed like an alternative option where I could patch them if those holes ever developed. Unfortunately there is no warning that these are comically impractical for large feet. I have size 13 Altra Olympus shoes and it is more of a hassle to put these on than it's worth. These are massive shoes, but there should have at least been a warning that they are not ideal for larger shoes.

Great lightweight gaiters

These are a nice design, and they also fit fine over mid-height boots. The upgrade to Robic makes them far more usable in different conditions, and I’ve had no durability issues so far. My only criticism is that they tend to pinch and irritate my ankles a bit, and they give me small sores when pulled tight. Perhaps a band of softer material around the rim would help.

Work just like they should.

Very well made. Easily adjustable for fit. Lightweight. I wear them to help keep sand and gravel out of my hiking boots. They do this very well. Thanks ZPacks for the great gesr and excellent service.

Massively more durable

I have to say I loved the original but they used to rip to shreds fairly easily. Not so with these new improved ones! Absolutely love these and would recommend them to anyone who like me is forever getting stones in their shoes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really wanted to love these…

I had bought two pairs, one for me and one for my son, for some AT hiking. I love they cover the entire lacing of the shoe, but when I would take them off at the end of the day, the insides were just layered in moisture. They weren’t breathing. I’ll still keep them as part of my rain gear, but won’t be wearing them on a daily basis for my Colorado Trail hike.
