FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the 3mm neoprene lining provides excellent thermal insulation, making them suitable for cold conditions. For extreme cold, wearing thicker thermal socks is recommended.
How do I determine the correct calf size?
Measure the circumference of your calf at its widest point. Compare this measurement to the sizing guide provided by Le Chameau to select the appropriate calf size. The Chasseur is available in 8 calf sizes.
Can I replace the leather insole?
Yes, the premium leather insole is removable. You can replace it with a new Le Chameau insole or a compatible aftermarket insole if desired.
How long will these boots last?
Due to their handmade construction, high-quality materials like Chamolux rubber and aramid fibre reinforcement, and rigorous testing, the Chasseur boots are designed for long-term durability with proper care.
Are the boots truly 100% waterproof?
Yes, the boots are made from 100% waterproof Chamolux rubber, and each pair is individually tested for waterproof integrity. The full-length Riri zip with a snap button closure further ensures waterproofing.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information for specific details, as warranty periods can vary. Typically, high-quality handcrafted items come with a manufacturer's warranty against defects.
Can these boots be used for strenuous hiking on rocky terrain?
While the all-terrain outsole provides excellent stability and shock absorption, they are primarily designed as wellington boots. For very rugged, technical hiking, specialized hiking boots might offer more ankle support and grip.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight around the calf.
Ensure you have selected the correct calf size. Loosen the snap button strap and slightly adjust the full-length zip. If the tightness persists, consider if a larger calf size is needed or if the break-in period is required.
Water seeping in through the zip area.
Ensure the Riri zip is fully closed and the snap button strap is fastened securely. Check the zip for any debris that might be preventing a proper seal. If damage is suspected, contact customer support.
Discomfort after initial wear.
The boots may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks, as these can affect comfort and fit.
Rubber appears dull or scuffed.
Use a specialized rubber boot cleaner or a mild soap and water solution to clean the exterior. For a restore shine, a silicone-based boot protector spray can be applied (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots require no assembly. Simply pull them on and adjust the snap button strap at the top for a secure fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for all adult foot sizes and a range of calf sizes. Designed for use with regular socks, or thicker thermal socks for added warmth.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with clean water and a soft brush or sponge to remove mud and debris. Avoid using abrasive materials or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the boots to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or open fires, which can damage the rubber. You can help absorb moisture from the inside by stuffing them with newspaper.
- Storage: Store the boots upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing them.
- Leather Insole: The removable leather insole should be removed periodically to allow it to air dry, especially after prolonged use in wet conditions. If it becomes heavily soiled, clean with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
