FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the 3mm neoprene lining provides excellent insulation and warmth, making them suitable for cold conditions. For extreme cold, consider wearing thicker, thermal socks.
How do I determine the correct calf size?
Measure the widest part of your calf and refer to the Le Chameau sizing chart for the Chasseur model, which provides specific calf circumference measurements for each available size.
Can the leather insole be removed or replaced?
Yes, the premium leather insole is removable. This allows for easier cleaning, drying, and the option to replace it with an orthotic insole if desired.
What is the main advantage of the full-length zip?
The full-length waterproof Riri AQUAzip allows for much easier and quicker donning and doffing of the boots compared to standard pull-on wellingtons, while also maintaining waterproofing.
Are these boots completely waterproof?
Yes, the boots are made from exclusive, supple, and flexible Chamolux rubber and are 100% waterproof. The full-length zip and snap-button strap are also designed to be waterproof.
What kind of maintenance do the boots require?
Regular cleaning with cool water, drying naturally away from heat, and proper storage are recommended. Periodically clean the zip to ensure smooth operation.
Is the rubber material durable?
The boots are handmade from Le Chameau's exclusive Chamolux rubber, which is known for its suppleness, flexibility, and durability. The toe is also reinforced with aramid fibres for extra abrasion protection.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or restrictive around the calf.
Ensure you have selected the correct calf size. The Chasseur model is available in 8 calf sizes per shoe size. If the fit is still not ideal, consider using the boots with thinner socks or consult Le Chameau sizing guides.
Water seeping into the boots.
Check the full-length zip and snap-button closure for any debris. Ensure the zip is fully closed and the snap-button is fastened securely. Inspect the rubber for any cracks or punctures. If damage is found, contact customer support.
Difficulty pulling boots on or off.
Ensure the full-length zip is completely unfastened. Wearing thinner socks might help. For easier removal, ensure the boots are clean and dry inside and out.
Neoprene lining feels clammy.
This can sometimes occur due to perspiration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials). Allow boots to air dry thoroughly after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK shoe size and the appropriate calf size for a comfortable fit.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, rinse the boots with clean, cool water to remove mud and debris. Use a soft sponge or cloth to wipe away stubborn dirt. Avoid using oil-based soaps or solvents, as these can damage the rubber.
- Drying: Allow the boots to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store the boots upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid creasing or folding the boots, as this can lead to rubber damage.
- Zip Maintenance: Periodically clean the full-length zip with water and a soft brush. Ensure it is dry before storing. Applying a silicone-based lubricant can help maintain smooth operation.
