FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide calves?
Yes, the adjustable strap and gusset allow for a customizable fit, accommodating a range of calf sizes. Loosening the strap provides more room.
How do I clean mud off the boots?
Rinse the boots thoroughly with clean water after each use. Use a soft sponge or cloth, and if necessary, a mild soap solution. Always rinse off soap residue.
Can I wear these boots in very cold weather?
The 3mm neoprene lining provides excellent insulation for cold conditions. They are designed to keep your feet warm and comfortable in low temperatures.
What is the difference between Chasseur and Chasseur Cuir models?
The Chasseur model is typically made from natural rubber with neoprene lining. The Chasseur Cuir models incorporate leather elements, often in the upper lining or details, offering a different aesthetic and feel.
How should I store my Chasseur boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid folding them, as this can damage the natural rubber.
What is the sole made of and why is it important?
The sole is a shock-absorbing bi-density material designed for grip and durability. It helps reduce fatigue during long periods of walking and provides stability on various terrains.
Do these boots require any special maintenance?
Periodically, applying a rubber dressing designed for natural rubber can help maintain its suppleness and extend the life of the boots. Clean and dry them thoroughly after use.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or tight initially.
This is common with handcrafted natural rubber. Wear them indoors for short periods to allow them to 'break in' and mold to your feet. Ensure you have chosen the correct size; consider thicker socks for a snugger fit if needed.
Water ingress despite waterproof features.
Check that the waterproof gusset is properly aligned and the adjustable strap is tightened securely. Inspect the boots for any punctures or tears in the rubber, particularly around the seams or sole.
Feet feel cold in mild weather.
The 3mm neoprene lining is designed for colder conditions. For milder weather, consider wearing thinner socks or ensuring the fit is not too tight, which can restrict circulation. The boots are primarily designed for insulation in cooler temperatures.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The bi-density sole offers good grip, but performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean; mud or debris can reduce traction. For exceptionally slick conditions, consider the limitations of any footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for a comfortable and effective fit. The adjustable strap can be tightened or loosened to achieve a personalized fit around the calf.
Compatibility:
Designed for adult wear, these boots are unisex in their functional design, though marketed towards specific genders. They are suitable for all types of terrain and weather conditions, particularly cold and wet environments.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with fresh water to remove mud and debris. Use a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the rubber. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid folding or creasing the rubber.
- Maintenance: Periodically apply a rubber dressing or protector (specifically designed for natural rubber) to maintain the material's suppleness and prevent cracking.
