FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the 3 mm neoprene lining provides excellent insulation and keeps feet warm in cold conditions. For extreme cold, consider additional thermal socks.
How do I choose the right calf size?
Measure the circumference of your calf at its widest point. Compare this measurement to the size guide provided by Le Chameau to select the best fit from the 8 available calf sizes.
Can I wear these boots for everyday use?
While designed for rigorous outdoor activities, their comfort and style make them suitable for casual wear, especially in wet or cold weather.
What is the advantage of the aramid fibre reinforcement?
Aramid fibres offer superior resistance to abrasion and wear, protecting the front of the boot from damage caused by rough terrain, branches, or repeated impacts.
How long does the waterproofing last?
The boots are 100% waterproof due to the Chamolux rubber and the Riri AQUAzip. With proper care and maintenance, the waterproofing and material integrity are designed to last for many years.
Can the insole be replaced?
Yes, the premium leather insole is removable and can be replaced if it becomes worn or if you prefer to use custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size and considered the calf fit. The neoprene lining can also take a short period to break in and mould to your foot. Try wearing thicker socks for a snugger fit or ensure the insole is properly seated.
Zip is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the zip area is clean and free from mud or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to the zip teeth. Operate the zip up and down several times to distribute the lubricant.
Water ingress despite being waterproof.
Check the full-length zip and snap-button closure for proper sealing. Ensure there are no tears or punctures in the rubber or the zip. Inspect the boot for any damage and if necessary, contact customer support.
Rubber appears dull or has white marks.
This is often a sign of 'blooming', a natural process where rubber components migrate to the surface. Clean the boots with a damp cloth and apply a rubber care product or dressing to restore their finish and protect the material.

Compatibility: These boots are designed for general outdoor use and are compatible with most outdoor apparel.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the rubber with a damp sponge. Avoid using solvents or petroleum-based products, as they can degrade the rubber. For stubborn dirt, use mild soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Dry your boots naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or fires) and direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, ideally upright or hung by their boot loops. Avoid folding or creasing them for extended periods.
- Leather Insole: The premium leather insole can be removed for cleaning or airing. Treat the leather periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness.
