ABSTRACT:
A shoe 48 with an integrally fastened gaiter 40, the lower end 60 of gaiter 40 being permanently attached to the inside of a gaiter storage pouch 46 which is located at the ankle collar 64 of the shoe 48. The gaiter 40 has an opening at its front, defined by its two flaps 30, 38 which, when in use, closed and fastened, seal out moisture, dirt, rocks, sand, stickers, and various other types of debris possibly encountered while using the shoe 48. The upper portion of the gaiter 40 has a constrictive top 34, (such as elastic), to constrict gaiter 40 around a wearer's leg, sealing out moisture, dirt, rocks, sand, stickers, and various other types of debris possibly encountered while using the shoe 48. The lower portion front opening of the gaiter 40 secures to the shoe tongue 28, sealing out moisture, dirt, rocks, sand, stickers, and various other types of debris possibly encountered while using the shoe 48. When not in use the gaiter 40 is rolled, folded, or scrunched down, then stuffed into the gaiter storage pouch 46. The pouch 46 is then closed, (in this embodiment, by closing a zipper system 42, 54, 56 located at the top of the pouch). This keeps the gaiter 40 completely out of the way of normal shoe operation and use, protects the gaiter 40 from damage, and provides for an aesthetically pleasing look of the shoe 48 which matches the look of a typical shoe and, thus, is undetectable as a gaiter or obvious appurtenance, allowing the shoe to be worn as normal day-to-day footwear.
