Chene light rubber boots

[Tail Feathers]

The Chene rubber boots have a side zipper and look real good.  Reviews on their site are good but don't find many anywhere else.
Does anybody here use Chene light rubber boots?

I don't have their light rubber boots (yet). I do have their lined boots boots and they are awesome.  I bought them for winter time wear and they are perfect for what I wanted. So ... yes... i will be buying their inclined version for turkey season

Thanks for that.  Do they run true to size?

I have had a pair of their waders for 3 years now, and recently picked up a pair of their light rubber boots. They feel good, real rubber, and fit true. My concern is they're so thin. You can put them on and rub the outside of the boot and it's like rubbing your foot through a sock. I'll check the durability out once season hits and I put 10 miles a day on them but so far, I'm pleased. Most comfortable boot of any type I've ever worn.  Surely they can't be as bad as every pair of lacrosse I've had that springs a leak within the first month of use.

Looks like they tried to create something comparable to Le Chameau that are also natural rubber, light weight, and side zipper.  The leather lined Le Chameau Chasseurs are very comfortable and proven very durable for me for a number of years.  If Chene has been able to duplicate Le Chameau you'll likely be very pleased and money well spent.

I can tell you that the waders they make are leaps and bounds over anything on the market in comfort, and durability. I'd imagine the boots are gonna be the same

Anyone weigh that boot?

Got a pair of the greenleaf rubber boots last spring and used them on 5-6 hunts and then 5-6 deer hunts. Most comfortable pair of rubber boots I've had. The sole started coming off of one of the boots so I contacted them and they sent me a return label to send the boots them. Sent them off and got an email a week later that they were sending me another pair of boots. Couldn't ask for much better than that.

I saw a Youtube video from Chene that said 3.3 to 3.8 lbs per pair depending on size.  I think 14's weighed 3.8 lbs.  Another article I found said they aim to be a pound lighter than most other comparable boots.

If you've ever seen the show Clarckson's Farm you've probably seen Le Chameau boots. Jeremy and his farm boss run around in them frequently.

By all reports they are a fantastic boot but, I don't wear rubber boots enough to justify $400.00 for a pair.

I have had the waders for 3 years. Bought a pair of Lite Boots last year I was not a fan personally they were not as comfortable as I would like in the sole. Pulled the trigger and bought the Chenes for this season and I'm very pleased with the feel of them excited to see how they do.
        They fit true to size, the zippers won't zip up on my legs which is expected because I can't fit into the lacrosse gum boots or the regular lite boots because my calves are too big.
          All in all out the box very satisfied and if they are anything like the waders they will be great.

I just got a pair and they seem like they are going to be nice, but haven't put any moles on them yet. Bought same size as I wear in Lacrosse boots.

What about half sizes?  Size up or down?  From the reviews on the web site they seem to run a bit big?  Guys seem to be returning for a size down.

I'm a 10.5 and went with the 11.  Probably should have gone with a 10, they do run a bit big.  No half sizes that I saw.  I walked a lot in them last year in FL.  Miles per day, never a blister or problem.  I'm now a fan.
