Not fit for purpose
The elastic band inside the gator is too flimsy. One my first trip, one broke while I was putting the gator on my boot and the second also broke during my first hike.

Great summer gator.
I used these hiking in the sandhills. Lots of prickly burs. They shed water as well as the prickly burs quite well. Well made and easy to put on and take off. I like the small amount of stretch in the material. These are a good all around summer gator. They also don't take up a lot of space so you can bring them with you 'just incase'. I would recommend them for anyone.

Great gaiters
Really durable gaters. The rubber band under the gater broke but I used them on a 24h long volcanic hike. I wish I could get a new rubber

They work
They are a little difficult to put on and take off but they work good once on. They have kept rocks, seeds, sand and other debris out of my shoes and off my socks on my last two cross-country hikes. They stay up fine and I have not needed velcro to keep them in place on my shoes.

Broke on first use
The stitching which holds the elastic band broke on first use. The way they stitch the elastic band, after a closer look, is weak just a few threads holding it.

Perfect Minimalst Gaiters for Trail Running
These are perfect for trail running, especially with shoes that have velcro in the back. I find that the mid strap is not needed when the velcro and hook is in use, but I love that the strap is an option. These are tall enough to protect the ankles during trail running but light for fast runs. There is a minimalist brand of gaiters popular with trail runners -- these are like them but more coverage, and more versatile with the strap and adjustment options. My only nitpick would be that the solid black version looks great, but the multi-colored options are not for me.

So far, they are great
Have only run once with these, but it was 7 trail miles in 12" of fresh snow, and they functioned perfectly. I did choose to put them on the shoe first which wasn't really a big deal. Reading about the durability of strap is worrisome but so far they are great. They must fit small because I was gifted these from someone that bought for their hiking boots, I use with runners.

OR Ferrosi Gaiters
Great job keeping rocks/dirt out of the shoes. The buckle system is slightly difficult to undue when removing but otherwise do a great job staying in place, really like the velcro addition to the rear for keeping them attached to my shoes

Not sure yet if they are worth it
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) These are smaller than they look in the picture - meaning they are light, but also a bit awkward to get on over shoes. Work well to keep sticks out of shoes. We haven't had any rain in ages, so don't know about water resistance...

Love!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quick to put on does exactly what you want. I prefer the shorter ones for sure! Just enough coverage to keep rocks out of the shoes
