Absolutely love these boots, with the wet weather we have had in the UK they have been an absolute god send. https://www.lechameau.com/la-parisienne-chestnut-14339#selection.color=6953 Highly recommend 😊

Ordered three pairs of boots from Le chameau USA . One pair was wrong size so I reached out by telephone to get a replacement pair with a return label for the incorrect pair they sent me. A very unhelpful person named Brenda told me they don’t do that and hung up on me. So I returned all three pair. I won’t do business with them again if it means having to deal with her. They should sell there whole product line through someone else like Amazon even because they don’t understand customer service very well. It is too bad because I have enjoyed their boots a lot in the past but I don’t treat people that way and I won’t be treated that way.

Hi David, Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback, we really appreciate it, along with loyalty to our brand. I am sorry to hear about your interaction with Brenda. This does not reflect the high standards of customer service at Le Chameau; we aim to provide the best service possible and it's clear we fell short on this occasion. We would love the opportunity to make things right. If you have the time, please do reach out to us directly at customerservices@lechameau.com and I will be happy to help you from there. Thanks, Laura

Hello! I just bought my 2nd pair of the Le Chateau, leather lined. I've had my first pair for over a decade and they are MAGNIFICENT! I bought these JUST in case my first pair wear out - but they don't seem to. Unfortunately this new pair seems totally different. The leather lining seems like fake leather. Is this possible? They seem sticky and hot on the foot - as if the leather isn't real. Also, the color is a sort of faded pea soup instead of the wonderful green of my first pair. What is happening to the quality of these boots? Is the leather fake? Sorry to write a negative review - but it's really perplexing.

Hi Maria, Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback - I am sorry to hear you aren't completely satisfied with the boots you have received. Please do be assured we use the same quality full-grain calf leather as we have historically to produce our boots. I have popped an email over to you requesting some more information regarding this new pair and so if you have the time we would really appreciate any more details you can offer. Thanks, Laura

Ordered boots and they put the wrong sized boot In a box with the correct size marked on the side. Called and they have no one on the live lines emailed and asked if I could exchange and they responded with “did you try the on?” After asking if I could do an exchange AGAIN they said they only do returns and want me to reorder. Why would I reorder when you didn’t send the correct size the first time. If I’m paying 200 for boots I expect to get the item I order or at least for the company to fix their mistake. Literal waste of my time, not ordering from this company again.

I love this boot. However after wearing them for several hours, my feet are super sore. I have ordered a arch support insoles from Amazon. Hopefully I am able to get things worked out. For the amount of money spent, I would have thought Le Chameau had some insole options which I couldn't find

Hi Bob, Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback, we really appreciate it. I am sorry to hear you haven't found the boots to be immediately comfortable, using insoles to offer ach support often makes a difference for customers who need the support in their footbed. We are currently in the process of creating some insoles to have on our site in the future. Thanks, Laura

There are 2 major design issues with these expensive boots. Firstly, unlike the rest of the inside, the heel is made of rubber which grips your socks. Unfortunately, this rolls your socks down under your feet, leaving your heel bare and your sock rucked up under your foot after 100 metres of walking. Secondly, there is no spur on the outside, so removing the boot is difficult and you end up with either dirty hands or, if you use your foot, dirty socks. You can carry around a boot remover, but that's very bulky. Otherwise the boots are fine, but I wouldn't buy another pair as I loath putting them, knowing I'm going to have to adjust my socks every 100 metres.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave this review - I am sorry to hear the heel cup is causing you discomfort, this is designed to provide grip within the boots and so we would advise possibly trying a different sock material and fitment or liner to help with this. I have popped an email over to you to offer some more details on this and our accessories which can help with boot removal. Thanks, Laura

Beautiful boots, however the left boot is narrower in the opening compared to the right boot by 5mm at least. It also feels smaller all around. I would expect that for this price the left and the right shoe would be the same size and fit. I am very disappointed because I really wanted these boots.

I've had my boots for over 30 years when J Peterman was selling them. Best weather proof boot I've ever had. I'd buy another pair but they just won't wear out.

Customer service takes so long it ends up being out of warranty period before they get around to dealing with you and then they claim that they can’t help as outside of warranty. Boots split after 18months on sole and started leaking, no help no support. £200 boots should last longer than 18 months, not good enough.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review - I am very sorry to hear you are having issues with your boots leaking. I can see from your email chain with my colleague Marco these boots were purchased via one of our retailers, who handled this claim for you. Sadly we cannot issue warranty claims directly for purchases made at a stockist and so I would advise you reach out to them for any more information regarding your case. Thanks, Laura
