Sold in over 25 countries -- but thus far under-represented in the US market -- Le Chameau of Normandy, France is renowned for producing the highest quality rubber boots and outdoor gear, favored the world over by discriminating outdoor enthusiasts. Built on tradition but perpetually receptive to new technologies and boot-making methods, Le Chameau maintains its position as an industry leader by paying close attention to detail, adopting innovations and materials that improve its products, and referencing lasting lessons from the company's 80 years of experience.
Better known by the general term "Wellingtons" or "Wellies" in the UK, Le Chameau rubber boots are hand made of eco-friendly, 100% natural rubber drawn from the Hevea trees of the Amazon
(rubber is tapped from the Hevea, which does not harm the tree). Shipped in blocks to the Le Chameau factory in Normandy, this natural rubber is then refined and hand crafted by skilled
boot makers. First introduced in 1927, the leather-lined Chasseur rubber boot was Le Chameau founder Claude Chamot's first step into footwear -- effectively establishing the company's
lasting legacy.
Because Le Chameau has limited distribution in the US Market, only a select number of web stores currently sell and ship Le Chameau boots in the United States. ShopLeChameau.com (http://www.shoplechameau.com) is the only US based online retailer that deals
