FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?

How do I choose the right calf size?

Can I replace the insole?

What is the difference between the Chasseur and other Le Chameau models?
The Chasseur is the iconic, handmade model known for its full-length zip, neoprene lining, and robust construction. Other models might differ in their closure system, lining material, or specific intended use.
How long can I expect these boots to last?
With proper care and maintenance, the handmade Le Chameau Chasseur boots are built for longevity and can last many years, even with regular, demanding use.
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the 3mm high-quality neoprene lining provides excellent insulation, making these boots very suitable for cold weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or tight on first wear
The Chasseur boots are made from robust natural rubber and may require a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for a few hours on consecutive days to allow them to soften and conform to your feet.
Water ingress through the zip area
Ensure the waterproof Riri zip is fully closed and the snap-button strap is secured. If the issue persists, inspect the zip for debris or damage. Clean the zip teeth regularly and consider applying a waterproof zip lubricant.
Discomfort in the arch area
Verify you have the correct size and that the premium leather insole is properly seated. The boot's shank reinforcement provides arch support, but individual fit can vary. Consider an aftermarket supportive insole if needed.
Difficulty pulling boots on or off
Ensure the full-length zipper is completely open. If you have a larger calf size, ensure you selected the appropriate calf-fit option. Using a boot jack can assist with removal.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with clean water using a sponge or soft cloth. Remove mud and debris thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive brushes or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the 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 in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Hanging them by the cuffs or storing them upright is recommended to prevent creasing.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a silicone-based spray or a specific rubber care product to maintain the suppleness of the Chamolux rubber and protect it from cracking.
