rubber boot

Puddle-proof shoe covering

A rubber boot is a waterproof boot made of rubber or similar material, designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions.

Rubber boots typically reach mid-calf or higher and are standard gear for farmers, fishermen, and anyone working in mud or standing water.

In British English, they're called wellies or Wellington boots.

I pulled on my rubber boots and slogged through the flooded field.
