mud boots

Waterproof outdoor shoes

Mud boots are waterproof boots designed for wet, muddy conditions—typically rubber or neoprene, rising to mid-calf or higher.

They're standard gear for farmers, gardeners, and anyone working in soggy terrain: I keep my mud boots by the back door.

Also called muck boots or wellies.
