muck boots

Waterproof farm boots

Muck boots are waterproof rubber boots designed for working in wet, muddy, or messy conditions.

They typically reach mid-calf or higher and are standard footwear for farmers, gardeners, and anyone doing outdoor work in foul weather: I pulled on my muck boots to clean out the chicken coop.

The term comes from the Muck Boot brand but now applies generically to similar waterproof work boots.
