Gaiters?? on 02/28/2006 14:46:28 MST Print View

Has anyone tried this? Cut the foot off an old pair of sock and stitch to top of shoe. Wear normal low cut sock on foot, and pull stitched sock over top. It makes the shoe a bit tricky to get on, but I used it for a mountain run, scree and rivers, and not a single stone in shoes. Light, breathable, cheap.

Good idea! I've been making gaiters out of stretch cordura, but your system looks a lot simpler.

Lots of good ideas out there. Try this one (I'm ordering "Lime Gatorade Hurl") I'll post weight when they come in. <dirtygirlgaiters.com>

(Don't worry, I won't offend your visual sensibilities by running on the trail in a thong bikini like the woman in the website photo.)
