I stand corrected...in my galoshes.

Technically speaking they are not galoshes as they are not overshoes but I wear them all the time anyway!

Galoshes (from Frenchgaloches), also known as boat shoesdickersons, or overshoes, are a type of rubber boot that is slipped over shoes to keep them from getting muddy or wet. The word galoshes might be used interchangeably with boot, especially a rubberized boot. Properly speaking, however, a galosh is an overshoe made of a weatherproof material to protect a more vulnerable shoe underneath and keep the foot warm and dry.
