Rizzini Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Le Chameau are deffinatly not over priced. They are worht vey penny IMO. I know people that have had then for 4 years with no probelm. But Muck Boot are not, Le Chameau are deffo my first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big yz dave Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 i`m a split man on wellies i have loved le chameau for a long long time but i gave in and bought a pair of muck boots and i love them i now have 2 pairs of le chameau & 2 pairs of muck boots all 4 pairs are lovely & warm & keep my feet dry except 1 pair of muck boots which i have punctured whilst wearing them for work eairlier this year (with only a pair of sports socks on under them) when it was minus 18 & my feet were lovely & warm so i did not care about the holes i put in them all in all the le chameau are a better quality wellie but 4 times + the price of muck boots the only thing i can fault the muck boot on is the neoprene top halfs as that is what i have punctured albeit on sharp bits of steel at work but it couls also be done on a barbwire fence if i`m going to sit in a pigeon or duck hide for a few hours in the cold or i`m going out ferreting or lamping i will wear my muckboots for beating picking up & formal shooting or just walking the dogs i will wear the le chameau my le chameau are 6 & 4 years old and the muck boots are 18 months & 6 months old & the old le chameau`s will still be going strong when i`m on my 4th pair of muck boots i guess it all depends on what you are going to be wearing them for & how long you want them to last! just buy a pair of each! go on you know you want to!!

Heilan Coo Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Personaly, I prefer the Aigle Parcours ISO. Tried on Le Chameau Vierzonord as well but I felt the Aigles were a more secure fit. Cost me £95 from local trap n field supplier (the Le Chameaus were also £95) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anser2 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Had a bad experiance with Argle. Three pairs in 2 months all with different faults from soles falling off to splitting. I get a cheap pair of dunlops for £9.00 , wear them almost every day throught the year and uusualy get 12-15 months out of a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xX Hunter UK Xx Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I would go for sea land boots cause i have a pair of them and been most countable pair of whellie i have ever had also know 3 people with the shamo's who work in them most day in general use and 2 pairs had the back heel come off and the other pair the zip came off in a day and also they ripped on a bit of barbed wire. i would only get shamo if i was being a gun or doing shooting that don't involve to much stress on the boots.

Lampwick Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I use my fishing "Skeetecs" lovely and comfortable and very warm! Great for sitting in a hide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Bully Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 There was a review in Sporting Gun and they rated the unisex boots from the Outdoor Boot Company, has anyone tried these? I currently use a pair of good old green hunters which I must have had for 12 years and are only now due for repalcement due to a bit of perishing.

Troosers Too Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 My Le Chams have been very good: warm, comy & waterproof for the last 3 years & I'd expect them to keep going for a while yet but I do have a gripe about them. I'm 6'3" with size 10 feet. My wife is 5'5" with size 4 feet. If you stand her boots next to mine, the leg length is the same! What's this about - haven't the French worked out that people with bigger feet might have longer legs than people with small feet? Does anyone make a decent boot with a longer leg length? Dammit you've set me off now! Grump! TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
