User Review: Limmer Standard

Reviewed September 6, 2006 by Mark Burchette

Materials: leather
Use: backpacking/heavy duty
Break-in Period: LOOOONG
Weight: 4.5 lbs
Price Paid: $160

First off this is not a mountaineering boot! This is a heavy or, if you like, super duty backpacking boot. After several weeks of pounding these unruly beasts into submisssion I must say they are the most comfortable boots in their class.

The reason I purchased these was because I have spent entirely too much on boots over the last five years. Nothing seems to last longer than 350 miles. These are name brand boots I am speaking of. Anyway this boot is old school, heavy and painfull during break-in but appear as though they might outlast me.

The fit makes up for the weight, yes they really do mold to your feet. During break-in I think the Limmer grease is great, but not as waterproof as Obernaufs which I now use due to living in the Pacific Northwest. This is what I consider a niche boot "works great for some people but not most". I don't give 5 stars to anything!
