BANDITS - Gaiters for Hiking, Running, Hunting, Landscaping, Yard Work, Farming, Construction and More - Fits Boots and Sneakers

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!

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.

Like someone mentioned before, color isn’t desirable. Came in demin blue material but man these were so comfortable! Had NO issues with velcro straps during a half marathon on a dirt trail! 10/10

This is made more for kids size ankles. I couldn't use them.

These “bandits” are seriously the best at keeping dirt and gravel out of the ankle/boot area .. they are so solid once theyr on I even ride bmx / mountain bikes with them still on.. nice to not have any dirt in my shoes while getting some! Also used them to block rain riding my commuter bike to and from work and NO water got into the lace area.. highly recommend for anyone outdoors hiking working or digging near dirt /mud

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.

These gaiters are not good at all for hiking. I did one 10 day hike with them. They did nothing for me in the rain. My feet were soked and because of the material, it nver fully dried. The strap that goes under your boots come off all the time too which was very annoying.
