Can anyone give me advise.....I am fed up with getting wet feet so have decided to look to buy some yeti gaiters....I like the scarpa cumbre boot....how do I know the gaiter will fit the boot? How do you fit them to the boot???

op'

the folk in the shop will probably advise you on the compatibility thing. best way to fit them is to heat them a bit over the hob and then just go for it.. stretch them over using brute force.

As I understand it they only really fit berghaus boots but I could be wrong. Problem I always used to get with them is that the fronts would catch on wrock and end upo slipping up over the toe cap of the boot. I was advised to use ski glue to stick them down; apparently ski glue holds well, but doesn't damage the boot and means they can be removed without destroying the boot.

In reply to aimee phillips: I'm not being critical but maybe you should be asking what the reason behind getting wet feet.

The only place that I have heard people saying yeti's are worthwhile is in bogy terrain. I don't know what the new ones are like but the old ones had a tendency for the rubber to split when in contact with rock. I've never been impressed with them.

they fit my scarpas really well no glue involved

aye...you need to use skin glue from a ski shop, perfect and holds the rand perfectly. I swear by them, but they are only good for horrific bogs and deep snow, used them in norway for a winter and they're top! if your bimbling about the hills or climbing i would'nt bother as front pointing or mixed climbing will destroy the rubber and they'll ride up round you ankle!
