I know every one favors the Chasseur by Le Chameau, but does anyone have any experience with the "lower grade" versions made by them? For example the Vierzon or Country?

Caleb, neither have the full length gusseted zipper which makes them a non-starter for me. I need the zipper because of a high instep. Gil

I bought the leather-lined Chasseur boots after reading Colin Trotwood's recommendation in his book on old-world woodcock shooting. I wore them all last season and found them very comfortable and serviceable, though I did not encounter any really cold conditions. Gil, the Chasseur boots do have a full-length gusseted zipper--I agree it make a world of difference! Last year the prices were lower and more variable than they seem to be now. After watching prices for a few weeks, I found a pair for $183. Whether I get 10 years of service from them remains to be seen, but based on just one season, I have a favorable impression.

James,

I got them on Amazon in 2016. Can't find them anywhere near that price now, but it's worth checking from time to time.

I was on the road a bunch last month and am way behind with email, but I just found your email. Thanks! Will certainly follow up on it!

I bought my Chasseurs three seasons ago from Orvis. At the time, Orvis offered free shipping and 20% off for opening up an Orvis credit card. They were my one and only purchase with that card.

I looked on their website and didn't see any Le Chameau boots let alone on clearance, which website were you using?
I looked on W&R site and there was nothing, where do I look?

Go to the drop down menu, select men’s, then footwear, then scroll down. They have 6-8 styles. The ones I bought were St Hubert model that were regularly approx $400. I paid around $200. If you sign up for their email updates you will get a “clearance” notice every so often. I’ve gotten some really great deals.

WR is out of the ones I bought, but has 2 styles for $200 and under. Shipping is $20 and I get mine in Indiana in 2-3 days.

I unchecked ignore on jOe just to see what kind of trash he was talking and was reminded of why I ignored him years ago. Thanks for the input on my transaction with WR that you have no knowledge of.

My gift of the day...Ebay France

I've seen them there for less than $200

But, what you'll find with rubber boots, is great variance between brands in fit. So, try on many, choose that which fits best for your feet. Then, buy 2 pair.

You might find the Seeland LL or the Hunter LL or the ....LL a better fit for you.

I find the LeChemeau too soft for my use.

For dog training and walking my yard, I buy 10.00 chore boots at TSC, and cut the shafts off at 8". Keep your feet dry, easy on, off, hoseable, great for getting the paper, putting out trash etc. No soggy socks from the dew. Leave them by the back door.

I almost never walk through any water greater than 8" in the field.


Out there doing it best I can.

Ive got two pair of leather lined Chasseurs...a new back up pair and the pair i wear thats 10+ years old and still going.

The thing about the leather lined Chasseur is your feet don't feel hot and clamey like they do with the man made synthetic linings.

Side zipper makes for easy on and off. Best money I ever spent on pair of hunting boots.

I use a pair of the green Superfeet inserts in mine makes fit a little better for me giving me more ankle support.

Well, I discovered my La Crosse 18" rubbers have a crack in them this weekend. I decided to purchase the Le Chameau Traqueur boots. What caught my attention to this model (aside from the good price) was this:

"Ultra-durable field and extreme terrain rubber boot. Natural rubber upper with Kevlar® reinforcement technology to protect against abrasion from groundcover."

Seems like just the thing for someone who is hard on their boots like me. They also have a half zip located at the calf of the boot. At the price of $157 shipped from the UK, it seemed like a good deal. Time will tell...

I do the same thing. I cut a 2" vertical slit on back of each to help my feet slide in. I wear them every day.

Great minds thing alike. smile
I wear mine on and off 10 times a day in the AM.

Eis, If you check out Sportsmansguncentre.UK.com, they will have the Seeland LL's (as well as others) for less than $200 delivered to you.

I can't stress enough trying various rubber boots on. They are all a little different. I like that Hunter provides a thick, and a thin, foot bed with each pair for better fitting.


Out there doing it best I can.
