雨鞋
yǔxié
名 下雨天穿的不透水的鞋。

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rain%20boot
-------------------------------

Editor: That Merriam-Webster definition states that a "rain boot" is a kind of overshoe, and that is not generally the case with 雨鞋, afaiks. Moreover, other dictionaries define "rain boot" as something different from what M-W says. E.g., "a waterproof boot that reaches almost to the knees" [Cambridge]. But that definition doesn't match the meaning of 雨鞋 so well either, since 雨鞋s don't necessarily come up to the knees.
Diff:
# 雨鞋 雨鞋 [yu3 xie2] /rain boot/
+ 雨鞋 雨鞋 [yu3 xie2] /waterproof footwear (rubber boots etc)/
