Latest Le Chameau press releases
2013 Press Releases
The perfect boot for when the going gets tough Le Chameau, manufacturer of premium quality country footwear, has joined forces with Michelin, the leading tyre manufacturer, to bring you an impressive new boot – the Ceres. Designed for agricultural professionals in particular, the sole of the boot shares in common many of the benefits of the market leading new Michelin tyre, the ‘Ultraflex’. As the name suggests this new sole is not only highly flexible but also extremely durable. The new rubber compound has been specially formulated to withstand heavy tractor and quad bike usage. The sole’s tread, mirrors that of the Ultraflex tyre, which has been designed to better distribute weight over a greater surface area, thus reducing the amount the boot sinks into the ground, ultimately resulting in less crop damage. The sole is also self-cleaning, expelling mud automatically when in use. The Ceres boot is lined with a comfortable Jersey cotton lining. A Neoprene version will be available in the autumn. Available now in all good Le Chameau retailers £95 (rrp) |

| Farming communities in Sierra Leone are benefitting from a generous charitable donation of Le Chameau rubber footwear from the UK distributor, LLC Ltd. The Footwear Appeal 2010 was organised by international charity Real Aid. The charity supports agricultural projects in the Bumpe Chiefdom, Sierra Leone. These projects enable the local community to grow rice to feed their families. Real Aid's footwear appeal aims to help the community by reducing the spread of parasitic disease, which spreads through the soil to the field workers, by providing footwear so they aren't working barefoot. LLC Ltd donated around 60 pairs of good quality second hand/redundant boots to the appeal in May 2010. LLC's Managing Director, Karl Waktare, commented he was "extremely pleased to be able to support Real Aid's worthy cause and donate beneficial rubber boots the children and families of the recipient community." |

Real Aid thanked LLC Ltd for their boot donation, adding that "the impact of these is enormous and [LLC's] support is most welcome."
