Rubber boots, also known as rain boots or galoshes, are waterproof footwear made primarily from rubber or a rubber-like material. They are designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions, making them popular for activities like gardening, fishing, and walking in the rain. The boots typically have a high shaft that extends above the ankle, providing additional protection against water and mud. These boots come in various styles, colors, and sizes, catering to both adults and children. Some rubber boots feature slip-resistant soles for better traction on slippery surfaces, while others may include insulation for warmth in colder weather.
