Advantages: Essential and cheap

Disadvantages: You don't tie them up tight enough.

Gaiters- they may look stupid but they are a life saver.If you participate in walks that involve mud and water I would advise a pair of Gaiters.Not only do they keep your feet dry(no boot is waterproof because they all have a hole in the top)they also protect your boots.

Most Gaiters do the same job,you are looking at spending anywhere from £10 and upwards.

The idea of the gaiter is to cover that huge hole at the top of your boot.They come up to just under your knee and protect your boots from the elements.

For the more experience and intrested walker I would advise them to consider Yeti's.These cover the whole of your boot only leaving the tread showing.It then goes up to the bottom of your knee.These however are expensive,normally around £60 but they keep your boots looking brand new and keep your feet really dry from water.A worthwhile purchase for the more intrested.

I find gaiters are an essential part of my walking experience.I don't venture out without them.
