What Are Trail Gaiters, and When Should You Wear Them?

from Topo Athletic · host Topo Athletic

A stretch of loose gravel or a sudden creek crossing can turn a good trail run into an uncomfortable one fast. Gaiters solve that by sealing the gap between your sock and shoe, keeping dirt, sand, and debris from working their way into your shoe. Pair one with wide toe box shoes for hiking, and your feet get room to move naturally while staying protected on the trail.
