OK, I'm headed out for T-day out of Hot Springs and some of the advise I've received included a recommendation for tall gaiters. Campmor supplied a set from OR and based on the size chart I got the XL for my size 12 feet.
Having never used them before and being a relative newbie (a couple hundred miles this summer being my first experience hiking anything but an occasional overnight) I had no idea how they are supposed to fit and how you wear them. These are so large that tightening the top strap all the way they will still slide down my calf, and the bottom has an odd little hook snap that I don't know what to do with and a rather thin strip of elastic that I assume is supposed to run under my shoe.
Any instruction/advise is appreciated.
