FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Le Chameau. Measure your foot length and consider wearing the type of socks you would typically use with the boots to ensure a comfortable fit.
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the 3mm neoprene lining provides excellent insulation for cold conditions. For extreme cold, wearing thermal socks is recommended.
How do I clean the inside of the boots?
Turn the boots inside out if possible and shake out any debris. For dampness, stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid inserting cleaning agents directly.
What is the difference between Chasseur and other Le Chameau wellingtons?
The Chasseur series is recognized for its premium handcrafted construction, neoprene lining for superior comfort and insulation, and a more robust, shock-absorbing sole designed for extended wear and all-terrain use.
Can I wear these for heavy-duty work?
While very durable, the Chasseur boots are primarily designed for country walking and outdoor leisure. For industrial or extremely hazardous work environments, specialized safety boots may be more appropriate.
How long does the waterproof feature last?
When properly cared for, the natural rubber and waterproof construction are designed for long-term durability. Regular cleaning and avoidance of heat/sharp objects will preserve their waterproof integrity.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite being waterproof
Ensure the adjustable strap is tightened correctly and the gusset is free from debris. Check for any visible damage to the rubber or seams.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Try wearing thicker socks. For initial stiffness, wear the boots for short periods to allow them to break in.
Rubber becoming stiff or cracking
This may be due to improper drying or storage. Ensure boots are dried naturally away from heat and stored out of direct sunlight. Consider using a rubber care product.

Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with clean water and a soft sponge. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution. Do not use petroleum-based solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Wipe dry with a lint-free cloth. Never dry near a direct heat source like a radiator or by leaving them in direct sunlight, as this can damage the rubber.

- Protection: Occasionally, applying a rubber care product can help maintain the suppleness and longevity of the natural rubber.
