"Galoshes" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Galoshes are a type of waterproof overshoe that covers the shoes and boots to protect them from mud, snow, and other wet or dirty substances. They are typically made of rubber or plastic and have a shell-like design that fits over the shoe or boot. Galoshes are worn to keep the footwear dry and clean, especially during wet or rainy weather.
