It first began when the illustrious boot-maker Monsieur Chamot produced his first rubber boot to meet the demanding needs of the workingmen of Normandy. Chamot combined the traditions of master cobblers with his innovative new techniques, namely vulcanisation. Chamot produced high-quality rubber boots, which were entirely waterproof, warm, comfortable and most importantly, engineered with a grip sole that could withstand the turbulent weather conditions of Normandy. Unsurprisingly, the boots were an instant success. To this very day the premium range of leather-lined Le Chameau Chasseur wellingtons are still being crafted in the original workshop Chamot worked in all those years ago.

Not only are Le Chameau boots expertly crafted they deliver unbeatable protection against the elements, the Vierzonord boots able to keep feet at a comfortable temperature even if the outside temperature is as low as -25C.

• The Sole – Le Chameau soles are made from a bi-density rubber and are resistant to abrasion providing all-terrain grip.

• Neoprene Lining – Le Chameau uses only the highest quality neoprene. Neoprene was originally used to make diving suits so therefore has excellent insulating properties and prevents the loss of the wearer’s body heat.

• Care Requirements – Le Chameau boots are easily cleaned with clean water and should be left to dry in a cool, well-aired room. Additional care can be provided with the use of a silicon spray spread evenly using a soft, dry cloth.
