wellies
Waterproof rubber footwear
Wellies are rubber boots that reach to the knee, designed for wet or muddy conditions.
The word is British, short for Wellington boots—named after the Duke of Wellington.
Americans would say rain boots or rubber boots.
I pulled on my wellies to trudge through the flooded garden.
