FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The Chasseur boots are designed with a standard fit. While the supple rubber offers some flexibility, they may not be ideal for individuals with exceptionally wide feet without trying them on first. The availability of multiple calf sizes helps with fit around the leg.
How do I know which calf size to choose?
Measure the widest part of your calf. Compare this measurement to the sizing guide provided by Le Chameau for the Chasseur model. The boots are available in 8 different calf sizes to accommodate various leg shapes.
Can I wear these boots in very hot weather?
The 3 mm neoprene lining provides insulation, which is excellent for warmth but may make the boots feel warm in very high temperatures. They are best suited for moderate to cool conditions or for activities where insulation is beneficial.
What is the purpose of the aramid fibre reinforcement?
The aramid fibres in the front of the boot provide enhanced protection against abrasion and wear, making them more durable when navigating rough terrain or coming into contact with sharp objects.
How long will these boots last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, Le Chameau Chasseur boots are known for their longevity due to their handmade quality and durable Chamolux rubber construction. They are designed for extended use in demanding conditions.
Can the insole be replaced?
Yes, the premium leather insole is removable and can be replaced if it becomes worn or for cleaning purposes. Replacement insoles can be sourced from authorized Le Chameau retailers.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight around the calf
Ensure you have selected the correct calf size. The full-length zip is designed to allow for a snug fit, but if it is too tight, consider a larger calf size option.
Water ingress despite being waterproof
Check that the waterproof Riri zip is fully closed and the snap-button strap is secured. Inspect the zip and rubber for any signs of damage. Ensure the boots are properly dried after use.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole of mud, dirt, or debris. The dual-density outsole is designed for all-terrain grip, but excessive buildup can impair performance.
Rubber becoming sticky or discolored
This can occur if exposed to prolonged direct sunlight or certain chemicals. Clean with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and dry naturally. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility:
The Chasseur boots are designed as standalone footwear and do not require compatibility with other gear, though they pair well with thick socks for added warmth.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, rinse the boots with clean water and wipe them dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using solvents or petroleum-based products, which can damage the rubber.
- Drying: Air dry the boots naturally at a moderate temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can cause the rubber to crack.
- Storage: Store the boots upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to store them away from sources of ozone, such as electric motors.
- Leather Insole: The premium leather insole can be removed for cleaning or to allow for quicker drying. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
