FAQs
Are the Le Chameau Chasseur boots truly waterproof?
Yes, the boots are constructed from 100% waterproof Chamolux rubber and feature a waterproof Riri AQUAzip, ensuring they are fully waterproof. Each pair is individually tested for integrity.
How do I determine the correct calf size?
The boots are available in 8 different calf sizes. It is recommended to measure the circumference of your calf at its widest point and compare this with the brand's sizing guide to find the best fit.
Can I wear these boots in very cold weather?
Yes, the 3mm high-quality neoprene lining provides excellent insulation, making them suitable for cold conditions. For extreme cold, consider adding thicker socks.
What is the purpose of the aramid fibre reinforcement?
The aramid fibres reinforce the front of the boot, providing optimal protection against abrasion and wear in demanding environments.
How do I clean the leather insole?
The premium leather insole can be removed for cleaning. Wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Avoid soaking the leather.
What is the warranty period for these boots?
Information regarding the specific warranty period is typically found on the brand's official website or the product packaging. Le Chameau generally offers a warranty against manufacturing defects.
Are these boots suitable for hiking on rocky terrain?
The all-terrain outsole offers excellent stability and shock absorption, making them suitable for various outdoor conditions, including moderately rocky terrain. The shank reinforcement provides good arch support.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable around the calf.
Ensure you have selected the correct calf size. The boots are available in multiple calf fittings. If the fit is still an issue, consider a different model or consult sizing charts carefully.
Water seeps into the boot.
Check the full-length zip and snap-button strap for damage or debris. Ensure the zip is fully closed and the strap is fastened. Inspect the rubber for any punctures or cracks. Clean the zip regularly.
Rubber appears dull or shows white residue.
This is likely blooming, a normal process for natural rubber. Clean the boots with fresh water and allow them to air dry. A specialized rubber care product can be used to restore shine and protect the material.
Zip is stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean the zip thoroughly with water to remove any dirt or grit. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the zip teeth and slider. Work the zip up and down several times to distribute the lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Chasseur boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size, paying attention to both foot and calf measurements if available.
Compatibility: These boots are designed for general outdoor use and are compatible with most outdoor clothing. They can be worn with standard socks. The removable insole can be replaced with custom orthotics if needed, provided they fit within the boot.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with fresh water to remove mud and debris. Use a sponge or soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the rubber. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, preferably upright or on a boot rack, to prevent creasing. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Zip Maintenance: Periodically clean the full-length zip with a damp cloth and ensure it is dry. Applying a silicone-based lubricant can help maintain smooth operation.
