7 Reasons Why We Love Le Chameau Wellies<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Le Chameau<\/a> have been making waterproof wellies and country boots<\/a> since 1927. Their story begins in a small seaside village in Normandy, France. The wellingtons were initially designed for labourers, such as farmers and fishermen, to provide protection and comfort for long days spent working outside. They\u2019re still the boot of choice for those out in the fields, having been further developed and perfected to withstand the elements and the physical challenges of the natural world. Le Chameau wellies<\/a> have also become something of a style accessory, regularly featured by countryside bloggers and influencers alike. Here are 7 reasons why Outdoor and Country love Le Chameau and their boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. HANDCRAFTED TO PERFECTION<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Each Le Chameau wellington boot<\/a> is handcrafted by a Ma\u00eetres Bottier, or a Master Boot Maker. This is an exceptionally skilled role which requires a minimum of nine months intensive training. The welly manufacturing process consists of a combination of traditional skills passed down through generations, and technical innovation which keeps Le Chameau at the forefront of the industry. As each boot is handmade, the result is that no two are exactly the same. When purchasing a pair of Le Chameau wellies, you can be sure that your own unique pair was made with utmost care and attention to detail. The pride of the Master Boot Makers is forefront in every piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. 100% WATERPROOF <\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The minimum expectation we have for a wellington is that it protects your feet and legs from water. Le Chameau wellies are guaranteed to be 100% waterproof. After the intricate manufacturing process is complete, each boot is individually tested to make sure it is totally free from leaks. Boots are placed into a water bath with air pushed through each one. Even a single bubble means that there is a fault somewhere in the welly, which would result in leaky boots and soggy feet. As Le Chameau check every boot by eye, they can guarantee that each one leaving the warehouse is leak-free. Even features such as the full-length zip of the iconic Chasseur wellington boot<\/a> are completely waterproof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. ALL WEATHER LININGS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wellies are used all year round; outdoor work doesn’t stop for a snow day! Fortunately, there’s a Le Chameau welly lining option for every weather or season. Base your choice on when you are most likely to be using your wellies, or go for a reliable all-rounder like leather if you aren’t sure. This handy table shows the features of each, as well as the temperatures they’re designed for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. PREMIUM MATERIALS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Le Chameau pride themselves on quality, and this is reflected in the materials they use to create their wellington boots. The rubber used is Grade A rubber, sourced from a highly regarded sustainable plantation in a way that doesn\u2019t harm any trees. This raw material is combined with the brand\u2019s \u201csecret ingredients\u201d to create their exclusive Chamolux rubber, which is based on the original mix from 1927. The result is a soft, supple and durable material which is handled and treated carefully throughout the entire production process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. THE PERFECT FIT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone is unique. This can make it difficult to create a product that is accessible for every size and shape of person to wear. However, Le Chameau have done just that. In 1965, the Le Chameau Vierzon wellington<\/a> was the first to be designed with an adjustable gusset<\/a> and buckled strap, allowing the wearer to tighten and secure the fit accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As well as the iconic designs being available in multiple calf widths, specific wide fit wellies are also part of the range. Finally, the Le Chameau short wellies<\/a>, designed primarily for women, eliminate any discomfort that comes from a tight fit. They\u2019re perfect for gardening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. SUPERIOR SUPPORT<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you\u2019re out for a full day in the fields, you\u2019ll need a pair of wellies that stays comfortable and provides support for your feet and legs. Le Chameau have filled their boots with premium support features that will reduce the risk of strain, injury, or blisters as your step count climbs. Chamolux rubber is the first of these and is the main component of all Le Chameau wellies. The supple material is flexible and soft, bending with every movement you make so that there\u2019s no rubbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For enhanced abrasion resistance, a dual-density sole acts as a shock absorbing layer which prevents fatigue and ensures suitability for all terrains. Further to this, a shank reinforcement board is set into the sole to provide extra arch support and ensure weight is distributed more evenly. This avoids aching limbs and results in better stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Le Chameau Chasseur Wellingtons<\/a> showcase all three of these support features. In addition, this boot is reinforced with aramid fibres. This means higher performance, durability, and protection!<\/p>\n<\/div>

7. BUILT TO LAST<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Possibly the best thing about Le Chameau wellies is that once you have a pair, they\u2019ll be around to protect your feet for years. The premium materials and careful construction of these boots ensures they are built to last. You won\u2019t find any holes in the soles or worn-through linings \u2013 if you look after them properly, you won\u2019t need to buy another pair for a long time. Of course, if you\u2019re anything like us, one pair will never be enough!<\/p>\n\n\n
