I bought mine back in July of 2010. Like the Limmer light weight boots I bought before these, I wasted no time getting started breaking them in. These took a while longer than the light weights though. Don't get me wrong, the Limmer Lightweight Boot is probably all the boot you will ever need. I still have mine and wear them about one out of every three times I go to the mountain.
After 9 months and hundreds of miles of rugged hiking, my Limmer Mid-weights finally lost the last patch of mill varnish and softened up to a perfect fit. That was just last week. Prior to taking this picture on my hike in the Franklin Mountains today, I scrubbed the boots down and put a coat of Limmer Boot Grease on them. They look good, and fit good too.
The thing I like most about the Limmer midweight boot is the toe box area. I wear liner socks and the Smart Wool Hiking Socks with mine and man, my feet are loving life. If you've ever gone a long distance in tight boots you will appreciate the Limmer mid-weight boots. You only need to get the right size, the right sock combination, and be patient while they're breaking in. After that it's all good.
UPDATE 12/05/2014 - These boots are still going strong. They broke in good. I had them resoled at Peter Limmer's not too long ago. Got the heavy sole. I'm glued, screwed, and ready to go. They are my favorite boots.
