Some of these have differences based on region.
My recommendation is:
rubber boots, rain boots, gumboots, gum boots, wellies, wellington boots -> galoshes
galoshes is actually said in the show so I’m biasing in favor of that.
On the other hand, Wikipedia lists all these phrases as being used for Wellington boots and also has redirects for them all to the Wellington boot article, except for galoshes because it may refer to something else depending on region.
Before an alias is performed, rubber boots would need some sorting out for the ones where it’s been used for more fetishy footwear.

I think “galoshes” as used in the show is a bit of a joke, because the ponies are (or could be) wearing them over their normal horseshoes.
With that in mind my strong opinion is that the name of the tag should be “rubber boots” to avoid confusion with the IRL meaning of “galoshes”.
