galoshes
Wet weather footwear
Galoshes are waterproof overshoes worn to protect regular shoes from rain, snow, or mud.
They slip on over dress shoes or boots and are typically made of rubber.
The word sounds old-fashioned now—modern speakers are more likely to say rain boots: I should have worn my galoshes.
