Limmer Boots...Best Boot For Pruning

[chris_girard]

Nick, it sounds like those are the custom Limmers which sell for over 600 dollars and have an 18 month waiting people before they are ready.

Ken's a great guy and fitted me out with my stock Limmers which are a lot less expensive. It helps that the Limmers store is less than 90 minutes from my house as well.

With my foot funk problems, I could never justify spending 600 bucks on boots. Ill ruin ANY boot in 6 months. ANY boot!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Do go on! Tell us about the Funk!

 

[tophopper]

It can ruin any boot!

Are you wearing white cotton socks???

 

[tophopper]

Yup

Do you use a boot dryer?

 

[tophopper]

Everynight!

There's your problem. I wear merino wool. It's naturally antimicrobial. I'll wear the same pair 3-5 days before I notice any smell.

 

[cory]

Wow, that must be some funk to defy a boot dryer.

Cool avatar btw.

The boots I want are $260. I'll happily give it a shot. I've been needing a new pair.

Here's the price list.

Nick, I have the Limmer Light Weights and only wear Merino wool socks as well. Yeah, you can wear the same pair easily for 4-5 days straight.

Just got off the phone with Carl Limmer. He got my measurements, had a few questions he needed clarified and now the boots are on the way. Can't wait!

I'll report back.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Congrats! And check these out! I wonder if they actually work?

Limmers are legendary in hiking circles here in the northeast. Last I checked there was at least a 6 month wait for their custom models. People who have them will wear nothing else. Let us know how you like them.

 

[NickfromWI]

We shall find out soon. I have 3 pair en route now!

Lordy, that's taking a hella chance.

I suppose it's a good thing your boxers aren't made of merino....

Nah- they told me that if I keep them in new condition I can send them back. I was at the midway between sizes, so I opted to go for both sizes and I'll send back the ones that don't fit.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I remember reading about that style of buying!

You better believe it. I liked my Asolo 520's for quite a while, but the last couple years I was thinking I should try something new...something without goretex.

We'll see how it goes.

I'll do an unboxing video like apple fanboys do on youtube!

 

[chris_girard]

I'm reading this while wearing my Limmers and loving it!

Boots arrived today!! I made an unboxing vid and rambled for 15 minutes:

I realize some of y'all might not want to watch me ramble for that long, so I redid the video and tried to avoid rambling and that got it to 5 minutes...

Enjoy!
