What do most people do with the powder cuffs while wearing plastic mountaineering boots. I don't want to push them down into the boot liner as the snap will irritate the leg and they won't stay down over the boot. There are two loops on the cuff. Can one connect them under the boot sole like a gaiter ?

John, that is excatly what the loops (or sometimes gromets) are for. Powder cuffs should never be inserted inside the boot.

That's always been my understanding of what those loops are for. Guess I've always gotten lucky since I've been able to keep the powder cuffs for my shell pants down over my boots without having to run a strap under my boot to hold it down.
