Had Hunters a long time ago. They didn’t wear well, eventually splitting, and whenever I wore them, i couldn’t wait to get them off my feet.

Le Chameau were familiar to me. A friend had them for mucking, and i was impressed by the solid knobby tread on the bottom in a couple of pair I found. I find the material softer and build more accommodating for my feet. I can wear a heavy sock—or not, and they feel warm. I can walk in them some distance without issue.

Cost-wise they’re comparable, but I simply think they’re better built than Hunters. Mine are a kind of perfect brownish green and look as good with a Barbour as they do other outerwear.

This is awesome advice - I’m looking at specifically the tall style - do you have a preference between:

GIVERNY

VIERZONORD

VIERZON

Mine are most like the Vierzon. I think what it comes down to is lining type and gusset/no gusset. If you’re anticipating stuffing, say, your jeans into the boots the gusseted pairs will be the most comfy—and are a little more sporty looking, if that makes a difference. But I like them all!
