Default Gators for skinny legs

Just looking for some advice on some gators that are good for a guy with skinny legs. I love my kenetrek's but they are a medium and fit my size 10 boot great but fall down my leg. I'm worries if I go to the small size it won't fit my boot and keep water out. Any tips your be great! is there a better brand for skinny guys or a way to alter my kenetreks to fit better. Thanks

I'm not sure if I have " skinny legs " but I have been asked if I'm riding a chicken. I was using OR gators and was experiencing the same issues you are. I switched to the Kuiu's and found I was able to snug them up nicely above my calf. I'm not sure that the duty and shipping would be worth it on a gator stand alone order though.

I've got the "riding a chicken" comment more than a few times too. I might have to look into the kuiu then. The price isnt that great for sure. Thanks for the help

I have kuiu and I can tighten them nicely - I also have chickenesque calves.

Regards,

get under a squat rack and alter your legs....
