FAQs

How do I choose the correct calf size?

Measure the widest part of your calf and compare it to the product's specific calf size chart. The Chasseur boots are available in 8 different calf sizes for a precise fit.

Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?

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

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the Chasseur boots come with a premium leather insole that is removable. You can replace it with your own preferred insole if desired, provided it is of a similar thickness.

How do I maintain the rubber exterior?

Clean with water and a soft brush after use. Avoid harsh chemicals or petroleum-based products. Store away from direct heat and sunlight to preserve the rubber's integrity.

What is the warranty period for these boots?

Le Chameau typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific warranty information provided at the time of purchase for details on duration and coverage.

Are the zips replaceable?

While the Riri zip is designed for durability and waterproofing, if it were to malfunction, repair or replacement by a specialist boot repair service may be possible, though it's not a standard user-serviceable part.

Troubleshooting

Boots are difficult to pull on/off.

Ensure the full-length zip is fully open. Try pulling them on or off while seated. If calf fit is too tight, consider a size with a larger calf circumference.

Water ingress despite being waterproof.

Check that the full-length zip is fully closed and the snap-button strap is secured. Inspect the zip and rubber for any damage or tears. Ensure the removable insole is correctly positioned.

Cold feet despite neoprene lining.

Ensure you have adequate socks for the conditions. The 3mm neoprene provides insulation, but extreme cold may require thicker socks. Verify the boot fit is not too tight, which can restrict circulation.

Outsole losing grip.

Clean mud and debris from the outsole tread. Inspect for excessive wear. For normal wear, the grip should remain effective; significant loss of grip may indicate the outsole has reached the end of its lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size, paying close attention to both foot length and calf circumference, as the fit is crucial for comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Designed for adult use in outdoor environments. They are compatible with most outdoor trousers and gaiters.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, clean the boots with clean water. A soft brush can be used for stubborn dirt. Avoid using solvents or petroleum-based products, as they can degrade the rubber.
  2. Drying: Allow boots to dry naturally at room temperature. Do not dry them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the rubber and lining.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Hanging them or placing them on a boot stand can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
  4. Lining: The neoprene lining generally requires no special care but can be wiped clean if exposed. The leather insole can be removed and aired out; consider using a leather conditioner periodically if it feels dry.
