PREPARING THE SHOE:
Your shoes must be new, or, clean and dry. The spot where you will place the Velcro must be smooth.
If they are dirty, or have a groove in the heel, the strip may not adhere securely.
Shoes with grooved or uneven heel surfaces may need Velcro glue or epoxy glue to attach the strip. This glue can be purchased at Walmart, craft stores, office/hardware supply stores.
Check out Michael Cartwright's dirty and sticky solution. ThanXy Michael!
Cut off about an inch and a half of the self-adhesive Velcro strip for each shoe.
Attach it to the back heel of the shoe. Allow 12 to 24 hours for the strip to reach maximum adhesiveness.
WEARING THE GAITER:
Put on your socks as usual.
Pull the gaiter on over the socks.
Put on your shoes over your socks and tie as usual.
Pull the gaiter over the shoe.
Attach the rear Velcro on the gaiter to the strip on the back of the shoe.
Hook the front hook under the shoe lace on the front of the shoe.
Adjust the gaiter over the top of the shoe.
Go outside and get dirty! |
