Galoshes (from French: galoches), also known as gumshoes, dickersons, or overshoes, are a type of rubber boot that one slips over their shoes to keep shoes from getting muddy or wet.
The word Galoshes might be used interchangeably with boot, especially a rubberized boot.
Properly speaking, however, a galosh is an overshoe made of a weatherproof material to protect a more vulnerable shoe underneath and keep the foot warm and dry.

  Galosh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Galoshes, also known as gumshoes, rubbers, or overshoes, are a type of rubber boot that one slips over shoes to keep shoes from getting muddy or wet.
The term originally referred to a wooden shoe or patten, or merely a wooden sole fastened to the foot by a strap or cord.
In the middle ages, "galosh" was a general term for a boot or shoe, particularly one with a wooden sole.

my guess would be that galosh used the same sort of warhead as spartan, and we're seeing lossy translation - "enhanced x-ray radiation" becomes just "enhanced radiation", and "enhanced radiation" used to be the jargon or euphemism for "neutron bomb" in closely related circles.
and they were rating the galosh as superior to the safeguard system (we now know that the air force was massively overrating the galosh system, but it still means that the us missile deterrent would have penetrated the safeguard system, using 1969 missiles).

The last pair of galoshes that I owned (circa 1962) were ankle-length rubber boots that were supposed to, but usually didn't, fit over your shoes, and were fastened with a series of nasty little clamps designed to painfully pinch your fingers if you actually managed to wedge your feet into them.
Although galoshes as we know (or knew) them appeared in the 19th century, the term itself is considerably older.
When "galosh" first entered English in the 14th century, it usually referred to a wooden sandal or clog (although "galosh" was also applied to almost any kind of shoe).

 MissileThreat :: Galosh (SH-01/ABM-1)
Sources indicate that, at the early stages of development, the Soviets planned to arm the Galoshes with conventional fragmentation warheads (although they were later fitted with nuclear warheads).
In 1963, it was decided that the Galosh interceptors would be armed with high-yield nuclear warheads to compensate for any reduced accuracy in the radars.
The missiles were deployed at eight battle stations situated along the perimeter of Moscow near Bereya, Solnechnogorsk, Klin, and Zagorsk.(9) As a precaution, the Soviets placed dummy missiles on the launch pads for the benefit of U.S. satellites.

Zoschenko, the self-described "temporary substitute for the proletarian writer," combines wicked satire and an earthy empathy with a brilliance that places him squarely in the classic Russian comic tradition.
