FAQs
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the 3mm neoprene lining provides excellent insulation, making them very comfortable in cold conditions. For extreme cold, consider wearing warm socks.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
The boots should fit snugly but not be tight. There should be enough room for a pair of warm socks. The adjustable strap helps customize the fit around the calf.
Can I wear these boots for everyday walking on pavements?
While the shock-absorbing sole is comfortable, these boots are primarily designed for country walks and varied terrains. Daily use on hard pavements may lead to faster wear on the sole pattern.
How often should I use rubber care products?
It is recommended to use a rubber care product 2-3 times a year, or after significant cleaning, to maintain the natural rubber's condition and flexibility.
What is the main difference between Chasseur and other Le Chameau boots?
The Chasseur model is characterized by its handcrafted construction, neoprene lining for warmth, and a robust bi-density sole designed for all-terrain use, setting it apart with its premium features for country pursuits.
Can the insoles be removed or replaced?
The insoles are generally integrated for optimal fit and comfort. While not designed for easy removal, specialized insoles can sometimes be added if needed, provided they do not compromise the boot's fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Natural rubber boots may require a short break-in period. Wearing them for shorter durations initially can help.
Water seeping into the boots.
Check the waterproof gusset and seams for any damage. Ensure the adjustable strap is tightened appropriately. Clean the boots and consider applying a rubber care product to reinforce waterproofing.
Sole shows signs of wear.
Regularly clean the sole to remove debris that could accelerate abrasion. For significant wear, consult a professional shoe repairer, though the bi-density sole is designed for durability.
Neoprene lining feels clammy.
Ensure feet are dry before wearing. After use, allow boots to dry thoroughly at room temperature. If the issue persists, check for excessive moisture trapped by socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Le Chameau Chasseur boots are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and fit. The adjustable strap can be tightened or loosened to suit your calf size.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the boots with clean water and a soft brush. Avoid using abrasive materials or solvents. For stubborn dirt, use a damp sponge.
- Drying: Always dry the boots naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources such as radiators or open fires. Stuffing the boots with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Protection: To maintain the suppleness of the natural rubber, use a rubber care spray or polish periodically, especially after cleaning. This helps prevent cracking and prolongs the life of the boots.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can hinder breathability.
