How to Wear Gator-Bait Gaiters

One-Time Preparation:

Cut two 1½-inch strips of sticky-back Velcro. Attach one piece to the—clean & dry, smooth & centered—heel section of the shoe. Repeat with other shoe.



Wearing:
Put on your sock & THEN gently slip the gaiter over your sock and heel. Get into your sneakers & lace up.


Position the gaiter & fasten the metal hook under the lace(s) closest to toe box. Two different lace configurations are illustrated.
Pull the back of the gaiter over the shoe’s heel and align Velcro pieces for secure attachment. Adjust the gaiter over the top of the shoe & laces.
Fit:
Gator-Bait Gaiters are lightweight, non-bulky and cool. They are different than mountaineering gaiters; expect a looser & comfortable fit around your ankles.


Care:
For best results (& maximum TLC) hand wash after each (muddy) outing or when soiled. Use a mild detergent always air dry to preserve the elasticity of the fabric. Or, machine wash using a zipping laundry bag to avoid possible snagging, hang to dry.
