FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the 3mm neoprene lining provides excellent insulation for cold weather comfort. For extreme cold, consider adding thicker socks.
How do I ensure the best fit with the adjustable strap?
Loosen the strap completely before putting the boot on. Once on, adjust the strap to a comfortable, snug fit around your calf. It should hold the boot securely without restricting circulation.
Can I use these for strenuous hiking on rocky trails?
The boots feature a shock-absorbing sole and shank reinforcement for stability, making them suitable for varied terrain. However, for extremely technical or aggressive hiking, dedicated hiking boots might offer superior ankle support.
How often should I apply rubber dressing?
It's recommended to apply a rubber dressing every few months, especially if the boots are frequently exposed to harsh conditions or stored for long periods. This helps maintain the rubber's suppleness.
What is the difference between Chasseur and other Le Chameau models?
The Chasseur is typically a premium, handcrafted model featuring neoprene lining and a robust bi-density sole, designed for optimal comfort and durability across all terrains and seasons.
Are these boots true to UK size?
Generally, Le Chameau boots are known to be true to size. However, it is always recommended to check specific sizing charts and consider the thickness of the socks you intend to wear.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or less flexible.
This can happen in cold weather or if the rubber hasn't been conditioned. Ensure they are stored correctly and consider applying a rubber dressing specifically designed for wellington boots.
Water ingress despite the waterproof gusset.
Check for any tears or damage to the rubber or the gusset seal. Ensure the adjustable strap is tightened adequately to prevent water from entering the top opening.
Discomfort or rubbing after extended wear.
Ensure you have the correct size and consider wearing appropriate socks designed for outdoor activities. The adjustable strap can help fine-tune the fit around the calf.
Soles showing signs of wear.
The bi-density sole is designed for abrasion resistance, but heavy use on rough terrain will eventually cause wear. For significant wear impacting performance, consult a professional or consider replacement.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with fresh water to remove mud and debris. Use a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using solvents or petroleum-based products, as these can damage the rubber.
- Drying: Allow boots to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or open fires. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store the boots upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Applying a rubber dressing or protector periodically can help maintain the flexibility and longevity of the Chamolux rubber.
- Gusset and Strap: Keep the waterproof gusset clean and ensure the adjustable strap is fastened correctly to maintain the boot's integrity.
