rubber boot
A waterproof boot made of rubber or a similar synthetic material that protects against moisture and dirt. It is typically worn in the rain, in agriculture, or in the garden.
Bei dem Regenwetter ziehe ich lieber meine Gummistiefel an.
In this rainy weather, I'd rather put on my rubber boots.
The word is a simple compound of 'Gummi' (rubber) and 'Stiefel' (boot). So it is literally a boot made of rubber.
Für die Gartenarbeit sind Gummistiefel sehr praktisch.
Rubber boots are very practical for gardening.
Rubber boots are worn almost exclusively in specific situations: in rainy weather, while working in the garden, in agriculture, or when walking through muddy terrain.
Die Kinder lieben es, mit ihren Gummistiefeln in die Pfützen zu springen.
The children love jumping into puddles with their rubber boots.
Although the singular form is 'der Gummistiefel' (the rubber boot), in everyday life it is very often used in the plural, 'die Gummistiefel' (the rubber boots), because you normally wear a pair.
Zieh dir bitte die Gummistiefel an, draußen ist alles nass.
Please put on your rubber boots; everything outside is wet.
