I have a bit of an odd question. When hiking in the high country with crampons strapped to my feet I have seem to catch the inside of my left leg with my right crampon.

The spikes of the crampon are cutting into my gaiters. I really cannot afford to replace my gaiters every time I hit the trail.

Does anyone have some addvice on how I can correct this issue? I looked for new gaiters but did not see any made from a material that would resist cuts.

Also, I was thinking that mabye if I purchases a set of gaiters with an elastic band toward the bottom that it would help keep my gaiters in closer to my leg thus preventing my right foot from contacting my gaiters.

Does that sound reasonable? Or are there other suggestions out there?

Thank you,
John
