FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the 3mm neoprene lining provides excellent insulation, making them suitable for cold weather conditions.
How do I ensure a good fit with the adjustable strap?
The strap allows you to tighten or loosen the top of the boot for a snug, comfortable fit around your calf, preventing slippage and ensuring comfort.
Can I wear these boots for heavy-duty work?
While durable and suitable for all terrains, they are primarily designed for country walks and pursuits. For extremely heavy-duty industrial work, specific safety footwear might be more appropriate.
How should I store my Chasseur boots when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Keeping them upright or on a boot rack is recommended to maintain their shape.
What makes the sole 'bi-density'?
The 'bi-density' sole has two different densities of rubber to optimize shock absorption in certain areas and provide durability and grip in others, enhancing comfort and performance.
Are these boots true to size?
It is generally recommended to consult a sizing guide and consider your sock thickness. Many users find they fit true to size, but the adjustable strap can accommodate slight variations.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
This is normal for handcrafted rubber boots. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing duration, to allow them to mold to your feet.
Water seeping into the boot
Ensure the waterproof gusset is correctly aligned and the adjustable strap is tightened appropriately. Check for any punctures or damage to the rubber and consult care instructions for repair if minor.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure you have the correct size and consider wearing thicker socks for additional cushioning. The bi-density sole and shank reinforcement are designed to minimize fatigue, but proper fit is crucial.
Rubber appears dull or dry
Apply a silicone-based rubber care product specifically designed for wellington boots to restore suppleness and protect the material. Do this periodically as part of your maintenance routine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed for adult wear, suitable for men. The adjustable strap allows for a tailored fit across different calf sizes.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, rinse the boots with clean water to remove mud and debris. Use a damp cloth or a soft brush for stubborn dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or fires), which can damage the rubber. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably upright or on a boot rack. Avoid folding or creasing the boots. Applying a rubber care product periodically can help maintain the suppleness and longevity of the material.
