If you spend time on the trails, you know how easily debris can get into your shoes - slowing you down, causing discomfort and forcing you to stop. Trado Trail Gaiters create a protective barrier to keep debris out, so you can stay focused and keep moving.
Any hiker or trail runner who wants to keep their feet and shoes free from trail debris will benefit from Trado Trail Gaiters.
Low-top trail shoes work best. Hiking boots are not recommended, as their built-in high tops already provide similar coverage.
Many trail shoe brands offer models with built-in gaiter attachment points, including:
Our gaiters are made from durable materials designed to withstand many days on the trail. Longevity will vary based on terrain and usage.
No. Trado Trail Gaiters are not waterproof. While they can get wet, they are designed to block debris - not water - from entering your shoes.
We found that rear hook squares caused more problems than they solved. The exposed hook material could snag and damage the gaiters themselves or other gear in your pack. Removing it results in a cleaner, more nondestructive design.
We offer two sizes - Small/Medium and Large/XL - to fit most users. This streamlined approach helps us manage inventory efficiently and keep products readily available.
At this time, we do not offer a warranty. Our gaiters are built to be used hard on the trail- when they’ve reached the end of their life, it’s time for a new pair.
Adhesive-backed grips didn’t hold up over time. After extended use, they often failed to stay securely attached to trail shoes. That’s why we moved to a glue-based solution for a stronger, longer-lasting bond.
Yes, glue provides the most reliable and durable attachment. Our testing showed that adhesive alone does not perform well over time on trail shoes.
We recommend Future Glue® Super Glue Gel for best results, but you’re welcome to use another glue if you prefer.
We offer packs of Extra Trado Gaiter Grips + Glue, making it easy to outfit multiple pairs of shoes. You can purchase them here: Extra Trado Gaiter Grips + Glue.
