They're called "Rubber Boots" or "Gumboots", and our local Walmart has a large selection.

However, Academy Sports & Outdoors has an even better selection, and they're cheaper. They don't have many online, but if there are Academy stores in your area you may find a better range in-store... of they've been discontinued already in preparation for the summer!

Academy Sport Rubber Boots

oh yes, and Target have them, and Amazon sells them online too!

In fact, Amazon have a gazillion different styles:

rubber gum boots, if your in Maine, Reny's would have them for a few bucks, and if you wanted nice one's, LL Beans, but most sports shops would have them...

Do you have a Fleet Farm, Farm & Fleet, or Tractor Supply around?

I got a great pair of yard boots from Tractor Supply. They look like Wellington boots, not black though mine are navy. You'll be hard pressed to get boots like back home but imo they're all the same anyway! Amazon.com and Ebay also have fashion boots like this in bright patterns/colours.

I had the exact same problem, couldn't find any at Target, wrong time of year. Eventually found some at Home Depot in the gardening section.
