Gaiters Size Guide

SPEEDSHEER gaiters are sized to match your trail shoe size — not your pants size. Find your usual US shoe size below and we'll match you to the right gaiter.

All of our gaiters are designed to wrap snugly over your running or hiking shoes. Because fit depends on shoe size, we use the same XS–XXL system across the lineup. When in doubt, size down for a tighter, debris-blocking fit or size up for easier on-and-off.

Size Conversion Chart

Gaiter Size US Women's US Men's EU

The Wildcard is offered in two unisex sizes — S/M and L/XL — to fit most shoes.

How to Measure

  1. 1

    Check your current trail shoe size (the number printed inside the tongue or heel).

  2. 2

    Match that number to the chart above — both women's and men's columns are listed.

  3. 3

    If you're between sizes or wear thick socks, go one size up. For a race-day snug fit, go one size down.

Fit by Gaiter Style

Low-Cut (Trail Runner Low)

Most runners wear their true shoe size. Lightweight and low-profile — no extra room needed.

Mid-Calf (All-Terrain, Ultra Pro)

True to size. The cuff sits at the ankle; a snug fit keeps debris from sneaking in.

Full-Calf (Hiker Full)

True to size, or size up if you layer with thick hiking socks or wear bulky boots.

Sizing FAQ

What if my shoe size is between two gaiter sizes?

Size down for a tighter, debris-blocking fit (great for racing) or size up for comfort and easier on-and-off.

Do I size gaiters by my shoe or my pants?

Always by your shoe size. Gaiters wrap around your footwear, so shoe size is what determines the fit.

The Wildcard comes in S/M and L/XL — which do I pick?

If you wear US women's 5–11 or men's 3.5–10, choose S/M. If you wear US women's 11.5+ or men's 10.5+, choose L/XL.

Will the gaiter stretch over time?

Our stretch-woven fabrics keep their shape wash after wash. The underfoot strap is replaceable when it eventually wears.
