FAQs

How do I determine my correct calf size?

Measure the widest part of your calf and compare it to the specific calf sizing chart provided by Le Chameau. The boots are available in 8 calf sizes to ensure a tailored fit.

Are the insoles machine washable?

The insoles are removable and should be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting them into the boots.

Can I repair a small puncture in the rubber?

Minor punctures can sometimes be repaired using a specialized rubber repair kit designed for wellington boots. For significant damage, contact customer support or a professional repair service.

What is the warranty period for these boots?

Le Chameau typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the product documentation or the manufacturer's website for the specific warranty terms and duration.

How do I store the boots during the off-season?

Clean and dry the boots thoroughly. Store them upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid folding them, which can damage the rubber.

Can the Chasseur boots be worn in very cold weather?

Yes, the 3 mm neoprene lining provides excellent insulation, making them suitable for cold conditions. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, consider adding thermal socks.

Is the full-length zip waterproof?

Yes, the boots feature a waterproof Riri AQUAzip designed to prevent water ingress. It is also accompanied by a snap-button strap for added security and waterproofing.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct shoe and calf size. If the boots are new, they may require a break-in period. Wearing thicker socks can also affect the fit.

Water seeping into the boots

Check the integrity of the full-length zip and the snap-button strap. Ensure the zip is fully closed and the strap is fastened securely. Inspect the boots for any visible damage or holes in the rubber.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be obstructing the tread pattern. The outsole compound is designed for grip, but accumulated grime can reduce its effectiveness.

Neoprene lining feels too warm

While the neoprene lining offers insulation, consider wearing thinner socks during warmer weather. For extreme heat, these boots might be warmer than alternatives with less insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Le Chameau Chasseur boots require no assembly. Ensure you select the correct UK shoe size and, if necessary, the appropriate calf size for a comfortable fit. The removable insole can be adjusted or replaced if desired.

Compatibility: These boots are designed for general outdoor use. They are compatible with most outdoor trousers and gaiters.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, clean the boots with a damp sponge or cloth. Avoid using abrasive brushes or petroleum-based solvents, as these can damage the rubber. A specialized rubber cleaner can be used for stubborn dirt.
  2. Drying: Allow the boots to dry naturally at room temperature. Never dry them near a direct heat source like a radiator or fire, as this can cause the rubber to crack. Remove the insole to aid drying.
  3. Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Hanging them by the back tab or placing them upright is recommended to maintain their shape. Avoid folding or creasing the rubber.
  4. Maintenance: Occasionally, you can apply a rubber dressing to preserve the suppleness of the Chamolux material and protect it from UV damage.
