Best Snake boots or gaiters

What do you folks use for snake country when you you are hunting? I had a pair of snake boots that rotted out just sitting in the closet, took them out on a bear hunt this weekend after 5 years and the soles fell apart. Now I am wondering about a good set of gaiters instead of boots. I don't want to spend $130+ and watch them fall apart again on their own. Let me know what you guys use and brand names that hold up.

I bought a pair of Rocky snake boots last year for quail hunting and early archery deer. They fit great real lite weight & comfortable. Watch for them in Cabelas they are always on sale

I USE KEVLAR GAITERS.......THEY ARE 60 BUCKS OR SO....& A LITTLE MORE VERSATILE. ..........YD.
