The velcro attachment design is poor for long backpacking trip. The velcro pieces that stick to the the shoe do not stay attached to the shoe. The velcro to velcro bond is stronger than the adhesive use to attach the pieces of velcro to the shoe. Unless you take special care every time you remove the gators, the velcro piece will eventually not stick to the shoe. I plan to return these for a refund and buy a pair that has a cord that runs under the shoe.

These gaiters work very well with my Altra trail running shoes which have a Velcro patch at back of shoe to attach these too. They keep snow from entering between ankle and top of running shoe and close off the gap between bottom of tights and top of shoes. Much admired by my run club members. The sizing is related to thickness of calf/ankle so shoe size is not as important. I am female, 5’7”, 140 lbs and with an athletic body.

The fit is great. I wore them with my size 8.5 womens Lone Peaks and they were so comfortable that at some point I forgot that I had gaiters on. Unfortunately, my first run in them was also my last, as I ended up with a whole in one. I didn't exactly get caught in anything, so I didn't think there was any level of debris I'd crossed that would have resulted in a hole. I might try to patch up the hole and attempt to run in them again, but who knows when I'll have time to get around to it. I wouldn't pay full retail price for them again.

The number one issue with my Altra shoes was the rocks that would get into my shoes whenever I would go on any of the hundreds of miles of beautiful trails around my house. I love my Altra shoes and would not even consider going out with anything else in my feet, however the rocks and gravel that would constantly get into my shoes was too much of a problem. I just stopped trail walking/ running because I love my shoes but couldn't stand the rocks and gravel. The "trail gaiters" solved this issue 100%. I just can't believe how much pleasure I get from using my gaiters. I could go on for days about how much I love my shoes but these gaiters are a real game changer. I am in the process of purchasing another pair to go with another pair of my Altra shoes. ...

I can now enjoy things I thought were gone from my life. Altra has brought the joy of walking to my life. Thank you Altra shoes.
These gaiters now have adaptors for non-Altra shoes, but the only way I knew this was the little note stuck on the packaging that said “includes gaiter trap adaptor to fit any shoe.” There was no instruction provided, and I had no clue what the adaptor was or how it worked. After getting help from someone at REI and viewing a couple of videos on Altra’s website, I now understand. There is an extra Velcro piece with an adhesive backing – you stick that on the back of your shoe, and it grabs onto the Velcro piece of the gaiter. (Altra shoes have a little tab on the back that grabs onto that Velcro piece – this would be the “gaiter trap.” I don’t think I would have figured that out either without the videos.

The instructions say to attach the hook and loop tab to the back of the shoe. There is no hook and loop.)So now that we finally know how the gaiters attach to non-Altra shoes, how well do they work? The front hook, which attaches to your shoelaces, was a little tricky. My Salomon shoes have thin, string-like, somewhat stretchy laces. I found that if I pushed the hook under two rows of lace, so that one row crossed over the gaiter tip, the hook stayed in place better. The gaiters fit a little funny on the sides and look like they’ll ride up, but they don’t. The gaiters do work well to keep out the little pebbles and dirt clumps that can creep in and interfere with your workout. To test the effectiveness further, I spent some time in my garden using my feet to push mulch around. No debris got in the shoes.I have more than one pair of trail running shoes, but I can only use these gaiters with one of them, because I have to have the adhesive tab on the back of the shoes. The adhesive does hold better than I expected, but I can already tell it won’t last very long. After the first run, I could see one corner just barely starting to come loose.Bottom line: I’d be willing to bet these gaiters work beautifully with Altra shoes, and I would probably recommend them for those shoes. With non-Altra shoes, there are some definite limitations. And the packaging information leaves a lot to be desired.
I love my Altra shoes and had high expectations that these ankle gaiters would be a great compliment to my trail shoes, given that my wife commandeered my old Outdoor Research "Sticker Spats" which are awesome, but no longer made.There were two main problems with these Altra Gaiters: 1) They arrived with the little velcro tabs at the heel coming completely unstitched, really bad quality control on Astra's part, and 2) even if the Velcro tape had been properly stitched in place, the gaiters still do not provide a good "seal" over your shoes, they're just kinda baggy, which defeats the purpose of the product, to keep trail debris from getting into your shoes.I so wish OR still made the gaiters that I love, but for now the hunt continues (or maybe I just steal my ...

I preface this review by mentioning that I may have a size larger than I actually need (L/XL on a 10 Men's shoe), but I do not think that contributed to my overall rating of these gaiters. I mainly used these on my Lone Peak 3.5's, but after using them I am sure they would work fine on any Altra Shoe since they are all designed with a similar gaiter system. If you are wondering about any other shoe, the main way these function is with an inverse hook on the front of the gaiter and a Velcro back. I know some Brooks shoes may accommodate these gaiters just fine, but I would double check to make sure!The best part about these gaiters is how simple they are to use. Just make sure you have them on before putting your shoe on and then it takes a few seconds to get them ...

Just make sure you have them on before putting your shoe on and then it takes a few seconds to get them secure and in place. Super simple if you are needing to change shoes mid way through a race. There is honestly not much more to these then that!The inverse hook on the front is a good choice since it helps to prevent these from coming undone on the front gaiter loop on the shoe. It would be nice to have something that locks on to that front gaiter trap since in deeper snow I did find it coming undone. I don't know if that was due to the sizing being a little large and that does interfere with how easy they are to switch shoes in. not sure on the Velcro durability yet, but right now it is holding up just fine.I Have not had an issue with snow or dirt getting into the shoes while wearing these and am excited to use them on race day since they seem to make everything easier with keeping out rocks and dirt. This is a super simple solution for trail running or hiking and I would easily recommend them with any Altra trail shoe.
I have mostly Altra shoesso made sense to purchase altra gaiters. A real miss. I’m an average sized woman though I have a narrow ankle. I purchased small and they just slide down my ankle. Definitely won’t keep the sand out on my Portugal hike. Not worth returning so giving to my husband.
I'm not sure what I'm doing differently than the folks who aren't having any issues with them.When I first put them on, I thought my hooks to the laces were on backwards - it just seemed the hook would go over the clip rather than under the clip. (Altra confirmed they were sewed in correctly) I used them on a 12-mile hike and sure enough the front clips on both came off about a dozen times before I finally stopped reattaching them. They still mostly did their jobs, but I could feel them bouncing up and down the whole time, which is annoying (to me).I'm using them on the Olympus 4s, which has its gaiter trap on the heel a little higher than where it looks like it falls on the lone peaks. Not sure if that's enough of a difference to prevent the toe hook from ...

Not sure if that's enough of a difference to prevent the toe hook from flapping off, but maybe? There's no way to keep the tension taut enough to prevent the hook from eventually unclipping itself.
I've used these gaiters on two thru-hikes and many more trail days, and they're still going strong. There are other brands out there that have really wild graphics, but if you're an Altra shoe wearer these are great for keeping pebbles, sand and grass/brush out of your shoes. They're stretchy enough that with elastic cords instead of shoelaces on my shoes, I can just slip the entire shoe/gaiter combo on/off without having to unfasten the gaiter.
