The details

In 1927, in a seaside village in Normandy, France, Claude Chamot had a desire to create the most comfortable and best-fitting rubber boots. Now, almost 100 years later, Monsieur Chamot’s vision continues. Heritage and history imbues each and every pair of Le Chameau boots that pass through the hands of time-served craftsmen. 

Our Rubber
The quality of rubber depends on several factors, including season (spring is best), climate purity, and tree health. Le Chameau uses only Grade A rubber — light in colour with low ash and dirt content. Our unique formula, based on Claude Chamot’s original recipe, creates the soft, supple and durable Chamolux rubber used in all our boots.
Building the sole
Across all variants of our soles, the base sole is made by adding the formula of rubber to the bottom of a two-part mould. The mould is closed, put under pressure and cooked. As the rubber heats and spreads through the mould, it forms the shape of the sole. Different elements are then added to this process, depending on the style.
Preparing our lining
Our linings are prepared in a dedicated area of the workshop, using machinery to cut the large pattern pieces and following strict quality checks to ensure there are no flaws or errors. ⁠We provide a range of different linings, from insulating and comforting neoprene or wool to a premium supple leather and a lightweight fast-drying jersey.
Our people
The most critical element in our bootmaking process is our people. We are proud to have several generations of Maître bottiers in our Le Chameau family, a highly technical role which requires upwards of nine months of intensive training.
