Shawn Report post Posted May 14, 2015 Turtle Skin gaiters are the lightest and best fit I've found so far. They are quite pricey but well worth it imo. Thanks I will look into them. Just need something for hiking after work on trails. I have already walked up on 5 this year. I hike and hunt by myself 90% of the time. The older I get the more I think gaiters are the smart thing to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goinhuntn Report post Posted May 15, 2015 Why not get a pair of snake boots? I have a pair of Rocky snake boots They are super light & comfortable like wearing tennis shoes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn Report post Posted May 15, 2015 I have had plantar fasciitis and still get it after bigger hikes of 8+ miles. I have to have boots that my feet like. I have Lowa Renegades for trail hikes now but I am going to try something else when they are done . I am sold on Danner Pronghorns and Meindl Perfekt hikers for scouting, hunting. Has anybody tried the Danner Pronghorn snake boots? Could you do hikes on trails of 10 miles or so without killing your feet? That could be a option if they feel close the regular Pronghorns.
