FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the 3mm neoprene lining provides excellent insulation and is designed to keep feet warm in cold conditions. For extreme cold, consider using thicker thermal socks.
How do I choose the right calf size?
The Chasseur model is available in 8 different calf sizes. Measure the circumference of your calf at its widest point and compare it to the brand's sizing guide to find the best fit. A proper fit prevents chafing and ensures maximum comfort.
What is the warranty on these boots?
Le Chameau typically offers a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Specific warranty details may vary, so it is best to check the documentation provided with your purchase or contact the retailer.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the premium leather insole is removable and can be replaced if it becomes worn or if you wish to use a different type of orthotic insole for added support or cushioning.
Are the boots completely waterproof?
The boots are constructed from waterproof rubber and feature a waterproof Riri zip. Each pair is tested for 100% waterproofness. However, prolonged submersion or water ingress through the top opening is possible.
How long do these boots typically last?
With proper care and maintenance, Le Chameau Chasseur boots are known for their exceptional longevity due to the high-quality rubber and handmade construction. Many users report many years of reliable use.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size and, if necessary, the appropriate calf width. Consider wearing thicker socks for a snugger fit or using the removable insole. Some users find a short break-in period helps the boots mold to their feet.
Water ingress through the zip
Ensure the waterproof Riri zip is fully closed and the snap-button strap is fastened securely. While highly water-resistant, extreme submersion or prolonged exposure in deep water may allow some moisture to seep through. Check for any debris in the zip mechanism that might prevent a complete seal.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
The dual-density outsole provides excellent traction on most terrains. However, very smooth, wet, or polished surfaces may reduce grip. Ensure the sole is clean from mud or debris for optimal performance.
Difficulty pulling boots on/off
Utilize the full-length waterproof Riri zip. If still tight, try wearing thinner socks or ensure your trousers are tucked neatly into the boot before zipping. For removal, unzip fully and use your heel to push the boot off.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size and, if applicable, the appropriate calf width for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities, including hunting, farming, equestrian pursuits, and general country walking. They are designed for use in varied weather conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, clean the rubber with a damp sponge. Avoid using petroleum-based solvents or abrasive materials.
- Drying: If the boots become wet inside, remove the insole and allow them to dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture. Do not dry near direct heat sources like radiators or open fires.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them upright or on a boot rack is recommended.
- Maintenance: Occasionally, apply a silicone-based rubber care product to preserve the suppleness and longevity of the rubber.
