The Salomon S-Lab Gaiters keep trail debris like rocks, sticks and snow out - helping your sock and foot stay clean and dry. The velcro closure creates a custom fit around your shoe. and is easily removed . The stretchy fabric is durable and comfortable. The under-boot-strap is reinforced for added durability and longevity. The S-Lab gaiters are compatible with low-cut footwear with an outsole arch for the strap to fit under and are NOT compatible with three-quarter high footwear or boots. Sizing is based on shoe size - if you are using 'minimal' footwear with an extremely thin midsole it is often better to size down 1 size - the fit on each different model of footwear will vary, although the velcro adjustment helps accomodate different models.
