What rubber boots are y'all wearing? I've walked 8-10 miles in LaCrosse Grange boots and never had an issue. Most comfortable rubber boot I've ever worn.
I cant speak for the others, but for me, gaiters are for the times I cant wear rubber boots. If I'm going to be walking anywhere over 3 miles a day, rubber boots are automatically out, same if I'm going to be doing any amount of side hilling or lots of steep ridges canyons. walking on tundra or through any area with tussocks requires lots of ankle support, so rubber boots are a no there also.
I love my rubber boots, but they're for low mileage days where I just need something quick and easy to keep dry, but don't work on trips where we walk 8-10 miles per day.
