FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the 3mm neoprene lining provides excellent insulation and is designed to keep your feet warm in cold conditions.
How do I find the right calf size?
Measure the widest part of your calf and compare it to the product's available calf size options. It's recommended to wear the type of trousers you would typically wear with the boots when measuring.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the rubber and the lining. Clean them with fresh water and a sponge.
What is the lifespan of these boots?
With proper care and maintenance, Le Chameau Chasseur boots are known for their longevity and can last for many years of regular use.
Are the insoles replaceable?
Yes, the premium leather insoles are removable and can be replaced if they become worn or to substitute with a different type of insole.
What does 'handmade' mean in the context of these boots?
It signifies that each boot is individually crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques and high-quality materials, ensuring attention to detail and superior construction.
Can the reinforced toe area withstand significant impact?
The aramid fibre reinforcement provides optimal abrasion protection against scuffs and rough terrain, but it is not designed as impact protection against heavy falling objects.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK shoe size and the appropriate calf width for your leg. Consider using thicker socks for a snugger fit or try wearing the boots indoors to break them in.
Water seeping into the boots
Check that the full-length Riri zip is fully closed and the snap-button strap is secured. Inspect the rubber for any punctures or damage. Ensure the leather insole is dry.
Neoprene lining smells musty
Remove the leather insole and air dry both the insole and the inside of the boot thoroughly. You can use a mild disinfectant spray inside the boot if necessary, ensuring it is fully dry afterward.
Difficulty zipping the boots
Ensure there is no mud or debris obstructing the zip. Apply a small amount of beeswax or silicone lubricant to the zip teeth to ease movement.
