Scoot Boots Customer Service was wonderful, and responsive, after my mixed review. They let me know that they have addressed the stitching issue, with stronger stress points. The improved gaiters are visibly better, and I’m confident that they will last a reasonable amount of time. These gaiters make the use of Scoot Boots much easier! We’ve been able to use our Enduros without mud straps, and they stay on, using them under the same conditions. I do use the Scoot Boots front shims in all four boots, as my TWH “mashes taters” with each step, and any footwear tends to twist on him. I love everything about Scoot Boots and the multi purpose gaiters, and highly recommend them!
