Rainboots are called Wellington boots in Britain. There is another story about the origin of Wellington boots. It was named after the Duke of Wellington, who defeated Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo, and was thoroughly popular from Britain in the early 19th century.

Because the body of the short boots is not too high, the waterproof degree of the boots is often not as strong as that of the normal height boots, but is better than that of the lightweight boots, and the flexibility of the lining is also higher than that of the high boots.
