FAQs
Are the Le Chameau Chasseur 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, thicker socks can be worn.
How do I ensure I get the right fit, especially for the calf?
The Chasseur model is available in 8 different calf sizes. It is recommended to measure your calf circumference at its widest point and compare it with the product's sizing guide to select the best fit.
Can I replace the leather insole?
Yes, the premium leather insole is removable and can be replaced with another insole if desired, such as an orthotic or a thicker thermal insole.
How durable is the full-length zip?
The boots feature a waterproof Riri AQUAzip zip, known for its durability and resistance to water ingress. It is designed for frequent use.
What is the primary purpose of the aramid fibre reinforcement?
The aramid fibre reinforcement is applied to the front of the boot to enhance its resistance to abrasion and wear, protecting the boots from damage in tough environments.
Can these boots be used for strenuous hiking on rocky trails?
While the all-terrain outsole provides good stability and arch support, these boots are primarily designed for wet, muddy, or uneven ground rather than very technical rocky terrain. For extended periods on very rough, rocky trails, specific hiking boots might offer more ankle support.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable after first wear.
The boots may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you have the correct size and consider removing the leather insole if you need extra volume.
Water ingress despite being waterproof.
Check that the full-length zip is fully closed and the snap-button strap is secured. Inspect the zip for debris and ensure the boot is not submerged beyond the zip closure. Verify that the boots are not damaged.
Rubber appears to be drying out or cracking.
Clean the boots thoroughly and apply a silicone-based rubber protector spray. Ensure boots are stored away from direct heat and sunlight. This is more common with older boots or those stored improperly.
Difficulty pulling the boots on.
Ensure the full-length zip is open and the boot shaft is relaxed. Using a plastic bag over your sock can help your foot slide in more easily, especially with thicker socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Le Chameau Chasseur boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size and, if needed, consider the calf size for optimal fit. The removable leather insole can be taken out for cleaning or if you prefer to use custom orthotics.
Compatibility: These boots are designed for general outdoor use and are compatible with a wide range of outdoor clothing. They are suitable for men and adults.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with fresh water to remove mud and debris. A soft brush or sponge can be used for stubborn dirt. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Dry the boots naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the rubber. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, preferably upright or on a boot rack, to prevent creasing and maintain their structure. Avoid folding or creasing the rubber.
- Maintenance: Periodically treat the rubber with a silicone-based protector spray to keep it supple and prevent cracking. The leather insole should be aired out and can be cleaned with a leather conditioner if necessary.
