What makes these boots so special?

A Brief History of the Limmer Hiking Boot

Peter Limmer Sr. arrived in America in 1925 bringing with his craftsmanship. The Limmer’s great reputation is based on just one thing – the Limmer hiking boot which is made out of one single piece of leather and only one seam.

It is an expensive way to create a hiking boot but the advantages are worth it. The Limmer hiking boot is durable, bending with the foot instead of holding resistance and staining it. The upper of the hiking boot is turned out at the welt area so that it will provide a waterproof fledge. The insides are made out of Swiss-tanned cowhide with steel shank and Vibram sole attached by cement and screws.

Production of the Limmer hiking boot

Every year approximately 1,000 pairs are made to satisfy customers all over the world. Each Limmer hiking boot takes 12 hours of labor from start to finish; the brothers splitting the work between them equally. Peter Limmer Jr starts the work on the boots while his brother, Francis along with his son Peter Stefan finishes the boots.

All boots are custom made to fit perfectly to the customer’s size and needs. They even insulate the boots on request and for an extra charge, of course. Such boots are good for temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit are intended for extremely active hikers.

The Limmer hiking boot is master piece which many hikers will simply not do without. They are probably the best you can get in hiking boots, made just for you.

There are of course many other boots on the market competing on quality and price. While the Limmer hiking boot does not come cheap, it is not too extravagant. Each pair cost $150 which is a great price for custom made boots. If you compare them on the market price for customs boots there are prices that reach the $450 price tag.

The Limmer hiking boot is for the man who is truly passionate about hiking; the hiking man who lives for those times that he blends with the nature and does not want to be reminded that he is part of a high tech world with busy schedules and never ending routines.
