Limmer Standard, anyone?

[HADU]

So, I once heard a story of a relatively "small," "family" bootmaker (coblers even?) in New Hampshire that makes custom boots as well as contracting out to a German bootmaker to fabricate some models in larger quaitities for them. This sounds like a good thing to me. Does anyone have any experience with Limmer Boots, specifically their heavy weight model "Standard"? I am looking for good leather boots for backpacking with heavy loads, mostly in the OR, WA Cascades and also trips in AK. So, if you have boots you love and would recommend, I would like to hear about them and the conditions you use them under, price you paid, how long you've had them, etc. I have been hiking in a pair of heavy weight Merrels since 1996, they have served me well but are pretty much beaten to dust now.

Thanks for your input ,

I've never heard anyone complain once they had their Limmer's. The customs are not cheap, and the wait was long (like a year) last I checked. I don't use heavyweight hiking boots anymore - mountaineering boots, or lighter weight (Asolo 525)

I believe the limmer standard is a wood lasted, rigid soled boot that will last you 30 years once you get them broken in.

 

good luck!
