Can I wear these boots for long periods without fatigue?

Yes, the shank reinforcement in the sole provides additional stability and helps to manage fatigue, making them suitable for extended wear.

How should I clean my Chasseur Wellingtons?

Clean the exterior with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Rinse with clean water and dry naturally away from direct heat.

Are these boots fully waterproof?

Yes, Le Chameau tests each pair to ensure they are 100% waterproof.

What is the main difference between the Chasseur and other wellington boots?

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff on first wear

This is normal for high-quality natural rubber. Wear them for short periods initially and they will become more flexible with use.

Water seeping into the boot

Check the integrity of the gusset and strap closure. Ensure the boot shaft is fully inserted and the gusset is properly aligned and secured. If leakage persists, inspect for any punctures or tears in the rubber.

Discomfort around the calf

Utilize the adjustable strap to loosen the fit around the calf. Ensure you have selected the correct boot size, as an improper fit can cause discomfort.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

While the bi-density sole offers excellent grip on varied terrain, very smooth or polished surfaces may reduce traction. Exercise caution in such environments.
