Does anyone make mini-gaiters for cycling?

I've got waterproof winter boots (Northwaves) which are ace but rain runs down the shin and in the top.

Is there such a thing as a mini-gaiter to seal the gap?

I've heard of DIY solutions involving trimmed latex gloves, but some dedicated ones might be better long term.

Some dinky neoprene jobs would be ideal.

    a bit like this for motorbikes, but smaller diameter as they'll be lower down

    You can get neoprene ankle things from dive shops. I bought some last year, but never got round to using them, partly because they were a bit tight (perhaps they need to be) and therefore not very comfortable.
    More problems but still living....

    If you Google/Ebay drysuit replacement ankle seal you'll find something. I thought of getting a pair for winter commuting and long wet training rides but haven't got round to it. I'm guessing some trimming with scissors would be in order if you don't want to look like an extra from Abba The Musical?
