Hi all,
planning a relatively early Colorado trail mission. Most likely will have some long snowfield crossing at the high spots. has anybody come up with a shoe cover/or gator arrangement that worked well?
in the past I just slowly loose contact w/ my feet and recover/dry out on the other side.
I don't want to do this day after day or inflict it on my daughter who will be with me.
any ideas?
Depending on the material that your shoes are made out of, you could apply a heavy layer of Sno-Seal waterproofing or something similar:

To keep the snow out of the tops of your shoes, you could try short gaiters like these:
