The iconic Chasseur, a handcrafted premium neoprene lined zip wellington boot, is instantly recognisable. Available in a choice of 8 calf fittings for an almost bespoke fit. Aramid fibre reinforcement to the front for extra protection against abrasion, rugged waterproof Riri Aquazip and snap button for fastening. Insulating 3mm neoprene lining for comfortable winter wear. Shock-absorbing, insulating, all-terrain outsole sole with reinforced shank for better arch support.
Please note that Neoprene has wonderful insulation properties, but it is a non-breathable material. If you wear our neoprene-lined boot in warm temperatures, or if your feet heat up while wearing, you may perspire. To help to ensure a long life for your Le Chameau boots, please ensure that you dry the insides thoroughly if they do become a little damp when wearing.
Features
THE STORY
In 1970 Le Chameau introduced a boot that was to become a legend in the field. Created by Le Chameau master of design Marc Longuet with the “hunter in mind, our iconic Chasseur boot was the first rubber boot to have a waterproof full length zip. Handcrafted exclusively, by one single master boot maker, after a long and rigorous apprenticeship, each Chasseur boot is a unique creation, made with precision, craftsmanship and assembly techniques handed down from generation to generation.
BESPOKE COMFORT
A quick-drying 3mm neoprene lining provides exceptional insulation keeping feet and legs comfortable in temperatures as low as -15°C. The watertight heavy-duty zip with press stud tightening strap makes Chasseur easy to put on and take off. Available in 8 different calf sizes for a fit that is virtually bespoke.
HERITAGE MEETS INNOVATION
Aramid fibres are used in the natural rubber mix to reinforce the forefoot areas, improving tear and abrasion resistance and performance in harsh terrain. The abrasion-resistant Grip outsole offers sure-footed traction on uneven, slippery, muddy and soft terrain.
ANTI-FATIGUE TECHNOLOGY
The dual-density Grip sole absorbs shock and features a shank reinforcement board for better stability and anti-fatigue arch support. The quick-drying neoprene insulation lining cushions the foot and provides additional energy absorption.
How do I measure my calves?
1. Sit on a chair with your foot and leg bare, your foot relaxed and flat on the floor and your knee bent at a 90-degree angle.
2. Find the widest point of your calf using a tape measure and measure round that point keeping your foot flat on the floor.
3. Add 2cm to this measurement to account for your trousers/jeans, a thick pair of socks, and some breathing space.
This is your calf size for your Le Chameau boots.
