Same here...or "pull-on" boots.

Too cold for unlined gumboots here today...mid-teens, a few inches of new cold white stuff, and the real-feel is 7 degrees! Brrr...cold spring.

There is a very popular brand here by the name of Sloggers & that's what I mostly call them --- Sloggers -- the name seems to fit so well but my dh & I also just call them rubber boots.

Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! Yes Valerie because I doubt hardly anyone would know what you're talking about if you say gumboots. Americans are more likely to think you're saying you got some gum on your boots! Rolling on the floor laughing
