gaiter
Shin-to-shoe wrap
A gaiter is a protective covering worn over the shoe and lower leg, fastening below the knee.
Originally part of military and riding dress, gaiters now appear mainly in outdoor gear—hikers wear them to keep debris out of boots and snow off their legs.
The word also refers to a cloth or elastic covering for the ankle worn with certain shoes.
