goloshes
Waterproof shoe covers
Goloshes are waterproof overshoes, typically rubber, worn over regular shoes to protect them from rain, snow, or mud.
The spelling galoshes is more common.
The word sounds old-fashioned now—modern equivalents are usually called rain boots or rubber boots—but goloshes were once standard wet-weather gear: Don't forget your goloshes, it's pouring out there.
