I walked the sct a couple of summers ago without full height gaiters. In Tassie for tracked walks I tend to use Dirty Girl gaiters which are very lightweight (30 grams) and serve to keep crap (mud, grit, sand etc) out of the tops of my shoes. There are various brands but googling dirty girl will show you what they are. You need to glue a bit of velcro to the heel of the shoe to keep them from riding up. They have a matching piece of velcro at the back and a hook for the laces up front.
