The Pick: The iconic jersey-lined boot for country living

With a tartan jersey lining and ready for anything, this is the finest country footwear you can buy

With the shooting season in full swing, and showers returning to the skies, there’s no better time of year to invest in a pair of Wellington Boots. And no-one makes them like Le Chameau. Hand-crafted since 1965, Vierzon is an iconic Le Chameau product famous in the field and country as the first rubber boot with an adjustable, waterproof gusset.

What’s more, this signature boot has a tightening strap and snap-fastening buckle for secure fit around the calf. Hand-crafted from natural rubber using an aluminium last for a comfortable fit around the leg – not to mention hardiness – the Vierzon uses a combination of natural rubber and jersey to ensure the boot flexes easily, mirroring any foot movement to reduce fatigue.

But the real style draw can be found inside. A fast-drying tartan jersey lines the boots to keep your feet cool and comfortable in temperatures down to 0°C. Pair this with the dual-density grip soles – which are designed to absorb shock and feature a shank reinforcement board for better stability – and you’ve got the most solid boots money can buy. Abrasion-resistant, offering traction on the most unforgiving of terrains and unrivalled in Wellington style – these are the most sure-footed buy you’ll make this autumn.
