Gaiters are like the old-fashioned white canvas army putty, but are now usually made of nylon and use zips and / or Velcro in place of the old buckles.
They provide a fairly effective seal at the top of the boot, thus preventing the ingress of small stones, twigs, thorns, burs, spear grass, etc. They also help delay the entry of water into the boot (but not for long!).
Full-length gaiters (as opposed to anklets) provide further protection, especially from snakes, bracken, brambles, shin grazes and small rolling boulders.

 Pros and Cons of Gaiters - WhiteBlaze.net
The one and only upside to wearing gaiters in the summertime is to keep bits of dirt, rock, etc out of your shoes or boots.
Another nice feature of the high gaiters is that they keep brush off your legs in the latter part of the summer when the hiker population starts to fall off and the trail gets a bit crowded with shrubs.
The theory is that gaiters keep skree out of your shoes, and thus your socks stay cleaner and don't wear out as fast, or you don't need to stop and empty out your boots.
