Hiking gaiters for boots are worn over the top of your footwear and up the lower leg, adding coverage while hiking. They are a simple way to fine-tune how your boots feel and how your lower legs are covered, whether you prefer a low profile at the ankle or a taller style up the calf.

To choose the right pair, start with fit. Check the Size Chart on each product page and compare it to your calf measurement and the boots you plan to wear. If you are between sizes, use the measurements in the chart to decide whether you want a closer fit or more room for layers.

Next, compare how each gaiter closes and attaches to your boots.
