duck boots

Waterproof rubber footwear

Duck boots are waterproof boots with rubber bottoms and leather or fabric uppers, designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions.

The name comes from L.L.

Bean's original "Maine Hunting Shoe," which featured a distinctive duck-bill-shaped toe.

Now generic, the style remains popular for rain and snow: I pulled on my duck boots before heading out into the slush.
