   Those are galoshes. Rubbers are the short ones that just snap on around the shoes.

   I have a pair of rubber shoes that look like combat boots, laces and all, for working in muddy fields.
   We call them “Mud Shoes”.

   Half the fun of wearing the galoshes was not closing them with those weird hooks, and just slogging through snow and puddles.

    In Great Britian “rubbers” are erasers. Or at least they were 32 years ago when I was there.
