'suited to the mud and wet' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'stick to footwear' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'gum' (gum can mean to glue or stick).
'to footwear' becomes 'boots' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gum'+'boots'='GUMBOOTS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for gumboots that I've seen is " They're also called wellingtons".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
