[QUOTE="David-Karratha, post: 628963, member: 22207"] The best advice I could give, is to get good quality heavy gaiters, that are designed for bushwalking & hiking - goretex if you can. You might save a couple of $$ by buying cheaper ones, but if theyre a pain in the butt to put on and take off, or if theyre uncomfortable, youll eventually get sick of the hassle, and youll stop wearing them. PPE is only effective if its being used. Good quality, replaceable heel straps, with strong front hooks for your laces are well worth having, and help keep things in place. Ive got a pair Ive been using for 10+ years in the Pilbara rock & spinifex and theyll probably see me out. If necessary, they can be cinched up tight, and Ive stepped (quickly) through calf deep water without getting my feet wet. I feel a bit naked, walking anywhere without them [/QUOTE]
