I just picked up a pair of these as we have some extreme conditions headed our way and my feet tend to run just a little cold. When I took them out of the plastic I noticed that they cover the entire boot, including the tread. Are you meant to cut out the bottom to custom fit them to you boots?

According to the size chart, I need a XXL in the Crocs, but I read reviews stating that L or XL would be fine. I'm a bit confused. Isn't it really the shoe length that would determine the size in the standard Crocs? Nick question_109838 Sun, 24 May 2009 11:36:25 GMT I have large calves (16 inches) and size 9 boots. I can't http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Outdoor-Research-Verglas-Gaiter-Womens/ODR0035M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_109561#question_109561 Outdoor Research Verglas Gaiter - Women's I have large calves (16 inches) and size 9 boots. I can't decide which size to get. Some of the comments say they run large and some say they run small. Also, is there a strap at the top that cinches them tighter? question_109561 Fri, 22 May 2009 13:54:25 GMT Are they snake bite proof http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Mountain-Hardwear-Pinnacle-Stretch-Gaiter/MHW0875M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_109349#question_109349 Mountain Hardwear Pinnacle Stretch Gaiter Are they snake bite proof question_109349 Thu, 21 May 2009 13:04:07 GMT Do these overboots cover the bottom of your hiking boots are http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Mountain-Hardwear-Absolute-Zero-Overboot/MHW0397M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_109038#question_109038 Mountain Hardwear Absolute Zero Overboot Do these overboots cover the bottom of your hiking boots are do they leave thenormal tread exposed? question_109038 Wed, 20 May 2009 09:27:25 GMT i have a pair of OR Gaiters I purchased about 1995. Not sure http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Outdoor-Research-Crocodiles-Gaiter-Mens/ODR0025M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_108310#question_108310 Outdoor Research Crocodiles Gaiter - Men's i have a pair of OR Gaiters I purchased about 1995. Not sure of the model, but have Blue tops and were expensive then. I have 2 questions: 1: The bottom straps are almost worrn clear through. I am afraid they will break the next time I use them. Does OR furnish spare straps I could sew in myself, or do I need to send them back to OR for repair. 2) I wear size 13 boots and am 6'-2" and weigh 170 lbs. Can you say thin. The top strap will not adjust tight enough to hold them from falling down over my calfs. If I bought a new pair of size "large" would they be long enough and still fit over my boots, plus be smaller around the top so that they would not fall down? question_108310 Sun, 17 May 2009 14:17:59 GMT i just got the mountain hardware trail gaitor high and they are http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Mountain-Hardwear-Pinnacle-Stretch-Gaiter/MHW0875M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_104879#question_104879 Mountain Hardwear Pinnacle Stretch Gaiter i just got the mountain hardware trail gaitor high and they are a nice light gaitor but not quite what i was looking for. im looking for something thats 3-4 inches higher and i was wondering id the mountain hardware pinnacle stretch gaitor is that height. i will be using them all summer long for when i go up to the adirondack high peaks region. i have also looked at the OR Research Expedition Crocodile Gaiters, a little on the expensive side but they do have gor-tex. question_104879 Thu, 30 Apr 2009 21:53:41 GMT Does this have a hook, to clip onto shoelaces?
