Lucky Bums Boot Gaiters are the the best children's hiking boot gaiter we've been able to find. These kid's boot gaiters are just like the ones you would use for yourself, rugged nylon, drawcord at the top, under the boot strap, and a front lace hook. Boot Gaiters can be used for dry weather hiking to keep dust and stones out of your child's boots. They can also be worn over a rain pant as extra protection from mud and water. One last common use is for winter wear when hiking, snow shoeing, or cross country skiing.
