We don’t need to tell you that Wellington boots are the best choice when it comes to waterproof footwear for wet and rainy conditions. But as we move into the depths of winter, it’s not just waterproofing that you’ll need from your wellies, it’s also comfort, reliability, traction and grip, attributes that will stand up to the season’s more extreme weather conditions like ice and snow.

So, what’s the best choice of Wellington boots for the extreme cold? And can you wear wellies in ice and snow? In short, in Le Chameau, you certainly can – and here’s why.

Why Wellington boots for the extreme cold?

We are true believers in mastering extreme weather conditions in our Le Chameau Wellington boots. If it’s embarking across snowy landscapes or crossing slippery icy streets, choosing a pair of our handcrafted winter wellies will deliver more than just waterproof protection, our boots will also ensure an impeccably comfortable and elegant footing for the cold, frosty months ahead.

Handcrafted by our master bootmakers and using our exclusive blend of sustainably sourced natural rubbers, Le Chameau Wellington boots ensure the best in warmth, comfort and grip, plus flexibility and endurance for snow and icy conditions. With features like our all-terrain soles and neoprene linings, you can enjoy your extreme weather explorations in confidence; you’ll want to keep our boots on all winter.

We recommend choosing from our winter range of insulated Wellington boots.

Insulated linings: The choice for winter

Finding your perfect pair of Wellington boots for winter can be difficult. We suggest choosing our insulated linings to keep you warm and comfortable when it’s ice and snow outside. Choose from either an insulating neoprene lining or warming wool lining for exceptional performance in temperatures as low as -20°C.

Neoprene lined boots

This insulated design came to Le Chameau by way of cold‑water workwear. As countryside professionals demanded a boot that stayed warm in biting winds, driving rain and frosted fields, our master bootmakers adapted the same closed‑cell foam technology trusted in diving suits.
The result was a landmark winter Wellington that retained heat without bulk and stood up to daily wear in the field. Our neoprene lined boots come in 3mm or 5mm thick lining.

Wool lined boots

Our wool lined Wellington boots deliver unrivalled comfort and breathability, not to mention they look beautiful. Designed in exclusive Chamolux — our supple blend of natural rubbers — these warm Wellington boots are the ideal foundation in cold conditions.

Are insulated wellies a tighter fit than regular wellies?

Our neoprene linings come in 3mm or 5mm thickness depending on your choice of comfort and conditions. This means our neoprene will be perfectly snug for your foot in winter’s harsh and unforgiving temperatures.
