Ipodmini Hi:-) What's the meaning of the idiom? As a child, growing up in snowy Colorado, I wore overshoes, sometimes called simply boots, which were made of rubber and came up high enough over the ankle that pants could be tucked inside thus keeping snow (water where snow was melting) from coming in to bother the shoes, socks and feet. Also known as galoshes and rubbers.
