FAQs

Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the 3mm neoprene lining provides excellent insulation, making them suitable for cold conditions. For extreme cold, wearing thermal socks is recommended.

How do I ensure I get the right calf fit?

The Chasseur model is available in 8 different calf sizes. It is recommended to measure your calf circumference and consult the brand's sizing guide to select the appropriate size.

Can I replace the leather insole?

Yes, the premium leather insole is removable and can be replaced if needed. You can also substitute it with an orthopedic insole if required.

What is the warranty period for these boots?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer. Please refer to the warranty details provided at the time of purchase or on the Le Chameau official website.

How long do these boots typically last?

Due to their handmade quality and robust materials like Chamolux rubber and aramid fibre reinforcement, the Chasseur boots are designed for longevity. With proper care, they can last for many years of regular use.

Are these boots completely waterproof?

Yes, the boots are 100% waterproof. Each pair is carefully tested before leaving the factory. The full-length waterproof zip and construction ensure no water ingress.

Troubleshooting

Boots are difficult to put on or take off.

Ensure the full-length zip is fully lowered. Try wearing thinner socks or ensure your socks are not bunching up. For initial wear, socks with a smoother texture might be easier.

Water seeping into the boot.

Check that the full-length zip is fully closed and the snap button is fastened securely. Inspect the zip and rubber for any signs of damage or wear. Contact customer support if damage is found.

Reduced grip or slippery feel.

Clean the outsole thoroughly with water to remove mud or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. Ensure the terrain itself is not excessively hazardous.

Discomfort or rubbing.

The boots may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially. Ensure you are using the correct size and consider wearing thicker socks for added cushioning and to fill any slight gaps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots require no assembly. Simply remove them from the packaging and try them on. Ensure the full-length zip is fully lowered before attempting to put them on.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard sock types. For optimal comfort and insulation, especially in colder weather, wearing thicker wool socks is recommended.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with clean water using a sponge or soft cloth. Remove any mud or debris thoroughly.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or fires), which can damage the rubber.
  3. Storage: Store the boots upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing them for extended periods.
  4. Maintenance: Occasionally treat the rubber with a silicone-based protector spray to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking.
