SALOMON Trail Gaiters High Unisex Gaiters

Very tight to fit on but managed to do it eventually I’m size 10 half in salomon speedcross 6 and went for the medium. Maybe should of gone for the large

I bought the large ones for a size 9 and while they fit nicely around the (Salomon) shoe, they are just a bit too big around my skinny ankles.Otherwise, I wore them this morning for a park run. Easy to put on. You don't notice you're wearing them. And they do keep the water out when going through the deeper puddles on our course.

The best thing about these is that you put them on after your boots. The velcro works well and the rubber beneath the foot has stood up well to many miles of running on paths with stones, sticks and sharp flints. I got them to keep out twigs, leaves, seeds, stones etc and they do that job admirably. Personally I don't like the pads. They end up in the wrong places and in some ways create the problem they are meant to solve in that I never had a problem bashing my ankles together before, but I do with the extra bulk of these pads.

Great item, I love the Salomon brand. All my Salomon trainers fit perfect and I actually needed these to go with my Inov8's which I had bought before discovering Salomon Speedcross. Inov8s have a much lower back than the Salomons and that just didn't fit me, and I needed something to stop my foot slipping out of the shoe. I didn't like the look of the Inov8 gaiters, didn't look sturdy enough, so I opted for these. I had decided because of my love for my Speedcross that for obstacle races I would use the Inov8s, because if I was destined to lose a shoe, I would rather it be one of them and not a Salomons. I tried them out, combined with my Inov8s on a hour trail run, and they worked perfect. Shoe stayed put and no debris got in. Then for the big test, I took a leap of faith and went straight on to do a 13k obstacle race (Major Series North). I couldn't have been more happier, shoes stayed on, even through knee deep mud which would have easily sucked off a shoe or two (which did actually happen to those poor gaiterless souls). They stayed fastened and in place, No chaffing and I had no trouble with debris entering the shoes and felt confident the whole race. I would definitely recommend them.

Bought this for cross-country (‘trail’) running for a pair of gore text running shoes which otherwise let in water through th3 top of the shoe. Unlike a previous design by Montane these are substantial and provide more protection. The under-shoe area, though, is non-replaceable, hence 4 stars, although it looks quite tough. Not as light as the Montane’s but worth i5 for filthy weather. Would be my first choice for running gaiters

These are a great design but if you have a skinny ankles they may not be the best as too hard to close the gap at the top. I purchased the size small but had to return as to obtain a tight fit I had to overlap the velcro quite considerably resulting in the Velcro adhering and ripping the stretchy material. Velcro strips should be longer to allow for tighter fit. Purchased a set of gaiters with a draw string at the ankle instead.

Stopped using these fairly soon after buying them to be honest. They work ok, but gaiters fit a very limited range of trail running shoes and IMO solve an issue that is largely a non issue, at least for me. Thought I would try them out as much out of interest as anything, but the fit wasn't great around my ankle even for the right shoe size (maybe I have narrow ankles, who know?). The rubber around the bottom of the shoe shifted too easily and got worn very quickly when it did as it was directly against the ground. Also the velcro just rubbed and tended cut my leg after even a pretty short run. I'm sure these are great for some people, I'm happy to just get some bits in my trail shoes!

Great for keeping mud, small stones and pine needles out of your trainers. They clean easily and seem to be lasting well. I'm a size 9 and had to return the large for medium. I think the size depends on both the size of your feet and the style of your trainers. If you're between sizes go up if you have thicker soles and more padding, and down if your trainers have fairly thin soles.
