Damn Rocks!

I have a problem with rocks jumping into my shoe after a trail run. Yesterday, I went out for a run at a trail run course in Chula Vista and a bunch of rocks ended up in both shoes. Although, the terrain isn't that bad I still have issues kicking up rocks. After the run I notice blisters usually on my right foot, which is extremely annoying. Now I'm in need of a solution. I've done a good search and found a product that prevents this from happening. It's called trail gaiters. They cover the top portion of the shoe. I'm not too fond about the style aspect of it but it seems functional.
