British Army issue Canvass Gaiters

[llangatwgnedd]

Can someone tell me how the wired and rubber straps on my recently e bay purchase connect around the boot?

Cheers

I haven't got a clue but I can't help wondering what you intend to do with them or am I missing out on some new fashion statement here :lol:

Does this help?

strapping under the boot to stop them riding up? Never worn that type myself so can't say for sure. You may also have a pair of hooks on them to fit over the front boot lace.

The only pair I ever had did indeed loop under the boot to stop them riding up your leg. They were not army ones though. This method was a bit of a pain since they were laces which a) got covered in mud etc since they were under your foot, and b) frayed very quickly if walking over stony or rough ground.

HTH,

Steve.

You adjust them so they sit under the boot to stop the gaiter rising up. Once fitted correctly, cut some of the excess strapping off.
