Get extra protection during wet and muddy trail runs with the ALL TERRAIN GAITER. The knitted ankle cuff is comfortable to wear, while also providing protection against debris entering your shoes. In addition, the water resistant fabric keeps your feet drier, for longer.

The ALL TERRAIN TRAIL RUNNING GAITER can be attached to any pair of running shoes – not just INOV8s. For selected pairs of INOV8 shoes the gaiter simply clips onto attachment points on the shoe. For all other shoes the gaiter comes with a strengthened rubber O-ring that can be strapped under the sole.

Whichever attachment method you use, the ALL TERRAIN GAITER provides a secure dependable fit that also allows you to move. The gaiter’s stretchy fabric moves with your ankle for unrestricted running movement.
