Love these! Kept my shoes and socks free of hay, sand and stones on the farm. Many miles were put on these and virtually no wear. Highly recommend. They’re not too hot either

These gaiters did keep stones out of my shoes, but they are designed with WAY too much fabric. No matter how much I messed with the straps, the excess fabric kept bunching up on the medial ankle area (see photo) and the bunches smacked against each other as I walked. The excess fabric also kept bunching up on the inside against my lower Achilles tendon, which was just as distracting and uncomfortable as having stones in my shoes in the first place and having to make frequent stops to adjust. I will be looking for a different brand of gaiters that are more sleek and fitted. And maybe don't smell as intensely like rubber tires. Yes, I followed the instructions.

I did enough shopping around for gaiters that I tried these out. I’ve gone on one walk on a bark chipped path and they did a nice job keeping bits out. I think they will hold up well running.They are quite adjustable and well made. Happy to support a small business!

These work great and stay down on the back of the shoe when wearing. I just use them while working outside and in the garden to keep grass and dirt out of my shoes while wearing shorts. Thanks!

These are the perfect 'shoe size' gaiters for me. They allowed me to wear my favorite low, slip-on heavy walking shoes in a forest environment for five days straight, and not get dust, leaf debris, thorns, and other stuff all packed in my shoe at the end of the day. They also kept my feet SO much cleaner, which meant I didn't have elaborate washing to do in order to get into my sleeping bag at the end of the day. Just a quick wipe-down was plenty.The length that the various velcro tabs were trimmed to was kind of strange, and sort of inconsistent, but they all worked well enough.When taking my shoes off at the end of the day, I figured out a way to leave these gaiters mostly attached to the shoe, so that getting the shoes back on in the morning was pretty simple.

The headline sums it up pretty well. The gaiters fit both my shoes (mens, size 12) and my wife's shoes (women's, size 7) perfectly. I bought them to help keep pebbles out of my shoes when running on trails. I was happy they didn't add any excess bulk, heat, or movement restriction when worn...I barely noticed they were there, but they did a great job keeping debris from my shoes. I've also used them when doing yard work, and they performed perfectly at that task as well.All told, these are a well-thought out, high-quality product at a great price. It also feels good to support a small American company. Highly recommended.

I work in the lumber industry, stacking and mill work services. Wood, splinters and shavings were always in my boots and sock in the summer. These worked great and wore them every day I had on shorts. No more picking splinters out of my socks! Highly recommend!

I walk dusty paths and dry grasses. Small stones and grass seeds fall in or get stuck in my socks and tiny stones somehow get into the shoes on every hike. So I tried these Bandits. My boots are mid-height boots.These gators are really well thought out and manufactured. They kept ever seed, stick and stone, plus dust out of the shoes and socks. Easy to put on and take off. Do not heat up the foot. Feel weightless. Do not bind. They came home covered with dust on the outside, but none on the inside.CON: besides wanting brown color, the only other con might be that in certain brush or rocky area, the velcro might get pushed out of whack. But I had no problem.
