I’ve been a customer of yours for 30yrs and have over the years purchased about 6 pairs of ladies size 38 vierznord with the neoprene lining. Historically these boots were the absolute best, they had a full cushioned thick sole and I wear them r dry single day and all through the shooting season, I’ve done all the countryside marches in them too! Wonderful … AND THEN … you’ve sold your sole … they’re not made in France anymore with the original quality and WORSE of all, you started putting this horrendous rubber ‘anti slip’ (which is terrible) in the heel inside where usually it was neoprene lined throughout. You NEED your heel to move with your foot these awful things completely eat and ruin every single pair of socks leaving massive holes, then resulting in horrendous blisters. I’ve tried everything to compensate for this terrible ‘design fault’ and have spoken to many original old school Chameau owners who now but Aigle instead. Please STOP putting this awful rubber inside the heel it is terrible, go back to having the neoprene completely throughout the boot! Trouble is, all your original customers who’ve worn and purchased le Chameau from the 90’s won’t be your customers anymore.
