Le Chameau

Unearth the traditional French heritage of Le Chameau footwear and accessories. On a rainy day in Cherbourg, France, Mr Claude Chamot was tired of listening to his customers (farmers, hunters and fisherman) complain about their uncomfortable and non-protective boots...so he decided to do something about it. He set about creating an innovative wellington boot - a type that would withstand the demands of the countryside and ocean life. He began by creating prototypes crafted from natural rubber and asked those same customers to test them. The results were mind-blowing! Nobody could believe how incredibly durable, comfortable and waterproof the boots were; they loved them, and this was the start of their incredible story.

Fast forward to today, and Le Chameau are world renowned for being the pioneers of vulcanising rubber in order to create wellington boots with unbeatable protection. From outdoor workers and country connoisseurs to urbanites and style savvy fashion enthusiasts, there is a pair of Le Chameau boots for all. Leather and rubber textiles with key detailing are the main players in the collection, both offering complete weather protection and impeccable comfort for everyday wear. Still produced in their original workshops, each pair of boots is hand crafted by one expertly trained master boot maker, while the timeless style still retains the expression of “art de vivre”.
