How to Wear Trail Pixie Studio's Gator Gaiters

First-Time Preparation:  
Attach one piece of sticky-back Velcro to a clean and dry heel section of each shoe. Center the strips. 

(If the heal of your sneaker is grooved or you foresee running through A LOT OF water/mud, you may want to adhere the Velcro strip with additional glue like, Velcro glue, E6000, Gorilla, Epoxy, etc. If adding this step, wait 24 hours for glue to cure before using. Glues like these are available at your local hardware store.)
Wearing:
Put on your sock. Gently slip the gaiter over your sock and heel. Slip into your sneakers and lace.
Position the gaiter with toe hook out front, tuck your laces under the gaiter fabric, and fasten the metal hook under a lace near the front toe box.
Position 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 and laces.


Fit:
Trail Pixie Studio's  Gator Gaiters are lightweight, non-bulky and cool. They differ from mountaineering gaiters; expect a looser & comfortable fit around your ankles. They are not waterproof but if they get wet, they dry out very quickly.

Care: For best results hand wash with mild liquid soap after each outing or when soiled. Air dry to preserve the elasticity of the fabric. If machine washing use a zippered garment bag to prevent snagging.
