FAQs
Are these boots true to size?
The Chasseur boots are generally considered true to size for a comfortable fit with standard socks. It's recommended to consult the sizing chart and consider the thickness of socks you typically wear.
How do I clean mud from the full-length zip?
Rinse the zip area with clean water. Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to gently dislodge any stubborn mud or debris from the zip teeth. Allow to air dry completely before use.
Can I wear these boots in very hot weather?
The 3mm neoprene lining offers warmth and insulation. While they are waterproof and breathable to an extent, they may feel warm in very high temperatures. They are best suited for mild to cool weather conditions.
What is the purpose of the aramid fibre reinforcement?
The aramid fibres are integrated into the front of the boot to provide enhanced protection against abrasion and wear, significantly increasing the boot's durability in rough conditions.
How long is the warranty period for these boots?
Le Chameau typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty details can vary, so it is best to check the documentation provided with your purchase or contact the retailer.
Is the leather insole waterproof?
The premium leather insole is designed for comfort and insulation. While it contributes to the overall feel, the primary waterproofing is provided by the Chamolux rubber exterior and the Riri zip system. The leather itself is not inherently waterproof.
Can the insole be replaced if worn out?
Yes, the premium leather insole is removable and can be replaced if it becomes worn or if you wish to use a different type of insert for custom support or warmth.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress through the zip
Ensure the snap-button strap is secured tightly over the zip. If water persists, check the zip for debris or damage. Clean the zip and apply a silicone lubricant if it feels stiff.
Feet feel cold despite neoprene lining
Ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal socks. The 3mm neoprene provides insulation, but the overall warmth can be enhanced with good quality socks. Check that the boot size allows for adequate sock thickness without being too tight.
Rubber appears dull or dry
The rubber may require conditioning. Clean the boots thoroughly and apply a rubber care product or balm to restore suppleness and prevent cracking. Avoid petroleum-based products.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for all-terrain, some very smooth or wet surfaces can be challenging for any tread. Ensure the sole is clean, as mud or debris can affect grip. For extreme conditions, consider additional footwear if consistent slippage is an issue.

Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your Chasseur boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, rinse the boots with clean water to remove dirt and mud. Use a soft sponge or cloth with mild soap if necessary, then rinse again.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the rubber.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to hang them or place them upright to prevent creasing.
- Maintenance: Periodically treat the rubber with a protective spray or balm specifically designed for rubber boots to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
