"The boot does run a wee bit big as others have noted. I generally wear a US6 in a boot however I order the 5.5/36. The heel was a bit loose (never have that problem), so I put in a Dr. Scholl's insert that was a 3/4 foot pad w/ a heel cup (actually meant for pumps). This added the security to the heel and additional arch support w/o making the toe-box tight.
At 5 foot tall, I'm just squeaking by in this boot. BARELY. I would not have been able to get away with wearing this boot had the shaft of the boot been any taller. In fact, the insert helped by about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Beware ladies, if you're petite like I am, this boot will be a push depending on your calf height. I'm barely making it.....
As for comfort. THEY ARE GREAT!!!!!! I love this boot. Yes, it's a little tall on me. Yes, it's not the most fashionable boot (like) everyone is wearing. However, I love that it's comfortable and that NO one has this boot. I live in downtown Chicago and there are ladies in rain boots EVERYWHERE! I have yet to see anyone in this boot. Love that....
So far, no cons. These are NOT winter boots however they are doing well w/ Chicago snows/rains the last couple weeks. They are good for approx 1 to 1.5 hours max. walking at 32+. Mind you I think I am part polar bear. If you don't like the cold I would say you'll probably be comfortable at 40+. Any colder than you will need to switch to a different boot if you're going to be out for hours+.
The zipper is very high quality/heavy duty. Similar to the zippers on boating canvases. They do supply a wax. You'll need it. Good news for me is that I can get in/out of the boot w/o unzipping :-).
Hope this helps...."

"Had to go down one full size from 41 to 40. Usually wear a woman's 10 or 10.5 in designer shoes. I wear a 10.5 in running shoes. The 41 was way to big even with thick socks."

"Having recently purchased this product I am overjoyed at the quality and functionality. I especially love the slim fit as I have found all other boots to be uncomfortably wide."

Really well made boots,

"The women's Le Chameau boots are very well designed and constructed. I've never had boots that fit as comfortably and provided such impressive performance in use. They get great traction while providing warmth and comfort on long walks through the forest. No leather boots are as waterproof or fit this well. I'd get a second pair but I expect this pair to last at least 10 years."

Best boots ever,
October 26, 2011

"My husband and I like these boots so much that we own two pairs each! Why? I teach field courses in marine biology. I spend most of the summer tromping through mud, working on rocky shores, or standing in the classroom. In fall and winter, we hunt pheasants. In the last 30 years, we have gone through many pairs of boots....until we tried these. No other boots compare to the comfort and rugged performance of the Chameau Chasseur boots. They have held up for years in and around seawater, mud, and all types of terrain. These are ALL DAY BOOTS."

"I have a pair of these ladies' Chasseurs and they are the best boots I've ever owned. They are unbelievably comfortable. I've used mine for hunting, fishing, and just walking around in the field. What's neat is that the boots came with a mini-size silicone spray that is good for spraying on the zipper to make it easier to zip. Also good for shining them up! I hope Orvis will carry other Le Chameau boots for ladies in the future! Did I mention they are the most COMFORTABLE boots ever?"

Can NOT be beat for serious boots!,
October 26, 2007
By: Shiner
from Black Oak Savannah Texas
"Having done more than my share of slogging through muddy fields, fishing on cold wet mornings, , and general mucking about in my life, necessity has required me to always have a comfortable pair of good, durable, water-proof boots at hand. I started with Red Ball rubbers in a boy's size 4, years ago when they were about the only ones I could find at my local farm supply store. It wasn't until eight years ago that I learned of Le Chameau boots. When I did, I scoffed at the price. To my *thrifty* way of thinking, no boot in the world could possibly be worth $400! Then someone bought me a pair and, I must confess, having put these boots to the test, I am now "sold" on them. If a tornado came bearing down on my farm tomorrow, the first thing I'd grab would be my Chameau boots - they really are THAT good!"
