Surely when you get gas in your feet you should just stop for a second and remove it. I think gaitors are not necessary as it is easy to dump the gas from your feet and in fact they might be a hazard if they make dumping gas more difficult.

I dump gas by lowering my foot and coming out of trim slightly at the same time. The gas from my foot then travels up my suit and I roll my left shoulder to dump it. I then repeat with the other foot and get back into trim. It only takes a second, is the way I was taught and I cannot think of anything else you could easily do to remove the gas from your feet.

As has been mentioned I run my suit with the valve open and with minimal gas in there, just enough to take off the squeeze.
