Mickey Mouse boots
noun
heavy rubber boots issued by soldiers during the Korean war US, 1952- But the temperatures were fast approaching zero at night, and the minute the boys got into position, their sweat-filled, heavy rubber “Mickey Mouse” boots (newly issued and so named for the striking resemblance they bore to those worn by Walt Disney’s famous rodent) froze from the inside out. — David H. Hackworth, About Face, p. 262, 1989
