But the quality of these boots has already been (artificially) reduced in the past years. It looks as though Le Chameau couldn't charge the price they needed to in order to make a profit and still make it attractive to buyers, hence they reduced their costs by reducing quality. And even that doesn't seem to have solved the problem. Are we, the customers, to blame? I just went to our local shoemaker (hammer, nails and yarn. Not just glue.) and asked him, what he would like to see come in for repairs. The content of his response was: 0 Chameau, but nowadays I cannot recommend them any more. Take L'Aigle, it has become the better brand, although all have diminished in quality. 0 My Le Chameau boots are in France. But here in England I was given a pair of L'Aigle boots some years ago as a birthday present, and excellent quality they are, too. Michael or Emery, you live in Orne. Can you tell me if the L'Aigle factory is in L'Aigle? :-) David -- David Rance writing from Caversham, Reading, UK |
