Caring for your
Le Chameau boots

Rubber Boot Care


To ensure your Le Chameau rubber boots stay in good condition, it's important that they are regularly cleaned with water and allowed to dry naturally.


Occasionally you might notice a white, powdery 'bloom' on the boots. This is perfectly normal, caused by insoluble particles that have risen to the surface – a characteristic of a premium product made from high-grade rubber – and will not compromise the durability or performance of your boots.
