An overshoe, worn to protect one's shoes and keep one's feet dry from rain, snow and slush; usually used in the plural.
When I was in high school, the current term for something later considered "cool" or "neat" was "shoe". And something especially cool was over "shoe", hence "galosh".
But I haven't actually seen galoshes being worn for a long time, even on kids. Does anyone still use them, at least in cities?
