Bought these to go with my Rocfly G 390s and really happy. Despite the boots not having the integral attachments for the hooks the sole of the boot has a purpose made groove to take the rubber ring and this works just fine. Have battered around the Brecon Beacons in these and no debris in the boot - ideal product at a great price.
The one 'problem' is that the lower part cloth of this gaiter is non-breathable! That can hinder getting humidity out of the shoe on warm days.
Does what I needed - fits perfectly with my range of Inov-8 trail shoes and keeps the debris out of my shoes. Was a bit sceptical about gaiters, but the game has definitely changed. Yet to try on really wet/muddy trails.
I bought these and used them for the first time this weekend for a 100 mile race. Full of mud, ice and snow. Not only were they extremely comfortable on the first wear but they stayed on my feet and held up despite me not wearing them properly 😅
The gaiters work great with Trailfly G270 and X-talons G235 here in the snow in Colorado, USA. Only complaint is needing a knife to the gaiter tabs into the shoe slots.
Great little gaiters for stopping bits of dirt or gravel going in your trail shoe and keeping your laces clean on muddy runs. Water still gets through. Very comfy, don't notice you're wearing them. Clean well in the washing machine. A bit fiddly to put on at first but then stay in place well even in deep mud, using the clips in the hidden gaiter holes in my TrailFly G300 Max.
This his been the perfect product for deep-snow running. I use them with my Salomon Speedcross and Altra Mont Blanc. The skirt gets a little wet after a while in the snow, but they dry out relatively quickly.
This has changed my life. I've ran through every terrain imaginable and had no stones in my shoes or undone laces. Added bonus of not smashing my own ankles in with my shoes on the fell races and cosy ankle joints too. I will be wearing these out and buying more. 100% necessary kit.
The two pairs of boots I wear both allow debris from the trail in to the shoe. These work well to keep everything out! They are easy to put on and remove. They are great when you are spending a day out walking, however, they are a bit fiddly for the daily walk that is only an hour and a half long! It may be more handy to have the gaiters actually fitted to a sock rather than having to remove them and then the sock each time, but perhaps that is just me…
Bought these to go with the Trail Fly Ultra shoes. The neatly clip on to the shoe on both sides to keep the gaiter in place. The sock like cuff at the top comfortably holds them in place. Definitely worth the money
I got a medium for a size 9 and a 1/2 shoe. They are a bit tight over the heel which didn't affect comfort but a couple of times they rode over the heel at the back. But there are plenty of anchoring/fitting options so I will adjust for a better fit. They will definitely keep my socks dry which is my main concern not so worried about loose stones/grit.
Great gaiter - especially together with the TrailFly shoes, having built in attachment for the hooks on the gaiter! Rubber bands supplied with the gaiter if you have other make.
Extremely useful on the runs around wet boggy mountains
Exactly as expected, fit is good and seem durable!
Some of the best quality ever tried
I use these gaiters with a pair of Inov-8 shoes that have the compatible side-hook receivers. This is the best gaiter attachment setup I've ever used. It's secure, pretty quick to attach and detach, and holds the gaiter tight enough to keep out debris. It succeeds wonderfully where another company's side-attach system flopped. I also really like the sock-like top of the gaiter. It's comfortable, durable, and really can't allow in debris. My only criticism isn't about the product, but the product page on the site. The list of compatible shoes is out of date and gives the impression that a freshly purchased pair of shoes might not be compatible. This should be updated, or maybe compatibility should be listed on the shoe-product pages instead.
These could be great but don’t fit round the top of the shoe to provide a seal. Then the backs ride up to rub on the back of the ankle.

Thank you for the review, Chris. We are sorry to hear you are experiencing issues. One of the team will be in touch to see if we can figure it out with you.

What can I say, these work effectively like a gaiter should. My only complaint would be that the fit around the lower leg/ankle has a tendency to build up some sweat. It's not been a problem for me living in an arid high-desert environment, but if you live in damp, hot conditions these might not be ideal.
Not much to say - they works as described!
These are pretty nice. I was very excited to find gaiters that integrate with my TrailTalons. They seem like they are a bit loose around the back but I just did a 10-mile trail race in the snow and didn't have any issues with snow getting into my shoes.
