*Rubber boots - Also known as Wellington boots, these boots are waterproof and are most often made from rubber or a synthetic equivalent. They are usually worn when walking on wet or muddy ground, or to protect the wearer from heavy showers. In Britain, there is a light-hearted sport, known as wellie wanging, which involves throwing Wellington boots as far as possible.
