These are the Limmer Lightweight Boots I bought a few years ago. As you can see, they've got a few miles behind them now. Anyway, I'd never heard of the Limmer boots before. The name came up in a web search. They looked like some good boots though, so I picked up the phone and called. I got Karl Limmer on the line. He was professional and polite. I asked him every question I could think of about his boots. As an avid hiker, the boots I wear are very important to me. Karl took the time to answer all of my questions and gave me all the information I needed to make my decision. The next day I sent him the measurements of my feet and placed an order.
After I received the boots I spoke with Karl again. He instructed me on how to break them in. Slow and steady he said. Well, I tried it Karl's way for a day or two. Then I decided that I wasn't going to pussyfoot around the house in them for two weeks before taking them on gradual hikes. No, I went all in. I put about 24 miles on them the first week. I went high and low on rocky mountain terrain. Then more of the same the next week. Then I took a trip up the Organ Mountains crossing lots of streams and snow along the way to the peak. For the record, I never blistered and suffered minimal discomfort. My Limmer Lightweight Boots are good to go now. They fit great and offer outstanding support. And I love the rugged look.
As for the price, I paid $280.00 for them. I have no complaints about that either. You get what you pay for. If you want cheap - go Chinese. But if you want a quality hiking boot that will hold up under the most adverse conditions - call Karl Limmer. The Limmer stock boots are made in Germany.
Thank you for visiting my website.
