You're going to need some all weather boots for the months between now and spring. Why? Rain, snow, and slush can turn your favorite shoes into soggy, freezing nightmares for your feet. We have your needs covered here at Blackbird. From low-priced to highest quality, from sporty styles like the Tretorn Klipporone or all-purpose wellingtons like the Le Chameau Vierzon, you needn't look any further. Do your feet a favor and stock up before you find yourself with cold, wet socks and feet that tell you they told you so...

NOW AT BLACKBIRD PORTLAND: LE CHAMEAU BOOTS!

Now available at our Blackbird Portland store is a selection of world famous Le Chameau boots. Since 1927, Le Chameau have always been at the forefront of vulcanized rubber boot technology and have been creating all-weather boots for generations of Europeans. Supreme arch support, a secret house blend of all natural rubber, thick, full-grain leather linings from Italian tanneries, and form-fitting custom calf sizes are just some of what's come to be expected in this French-made brand that has only recently begun to market their wares in the U.S.

The rainboot is one of the most fashionable outdoor items you can wear. Being an overshoe, you can literally wear them with anything and one of the added bonuses of Le Chameau is the heavy duty tread sole which makes them virtually slip proof and just as ready for snow and ice as they are for rain. The vulcanized natural rubber has a tough, organic feel like no other rainboot and conveys the fierce durability and quality you get with each pair. The water resistance and extreme comfort can be depended on whether you're wearing them for hunting, riding, fishing, gardening, a trip to the countryside or an outdoor music festival.

Blackbird is one of a few U.S. vendors for Le Chameau and currently stocks three of their most essential styles.
