rubber boots

Waterproof foot covers

Rubber boots are waterproof footwear made of rubber or similar material, designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions.

They typically rise to mid-calf or knee height.

Called wellies or Wellington boots in British English, they're standard gear for farmers, gardeners, and anyone trudging through mud or standing water: I pulled on my rubber boots to check the flooded basement.
