For trade: scarpa asolo tv boots and berghaus yeti gaiters

[Grotzilla]

Right after various attempts I've decided I just can't fit this bloody things!

I'm ideally after a pair of boots/shoes and a pair of trousers for bushcraft.

Maybe even a nice knife as I'm using a Mora atm

The gaiters have had the small strap cut off neatly and the boots are in decent condition for a pair of 15 yr old boots.

Apparently these boots are designed for yeti gaiters...

In a moment of anger I forget the most important info!

Boots are a size eu 45 = UK 10

Gaiters are size xl

they are a bugger to fit. have you tried warming up the rubber with a hair dryer and stretching them before you attach to the boots? it worked for me. I also put the boot on and then wiggled and yanked the gaiter onto the boot.....

I had them for a while years back with scarpa attack ,they were a nightmare to get on and I found that if u were walking uphill the rubber welt on the toe would stretch back and keep exposing the toe of the boots ,even tried a couple of spots of super glue!

I've tried most methods lol I just can't seem to stretch them enough!

Not tried fitting them with the boot on yet tho may give it 1 more try

The yeti gaiters can be split on their own before they head to ebay

Would trade the gaiters for a decent pair of tough goretex gaiters as I'm using the boots now and there's no way I'll get these yetis on lol

Maybe some goretex dpm army gaiters?

Have you watched any of the YouTube videos that demo fitting them? Got mine fitted afterwards, definitely not 'easy', but alot simpler with the tips from the videos I watched. I also made a couple of tools from steel 'S' hooks to help pull the rand over the soles. I've found The Yetis to be very good pieces of kit and never had the toe ends creep up whilst walking, but certainly heard of it happening and people using a run of glue to resolve it as mentioned previously. Good luck mate.
