[QUOTE="Wswim, post: 1654985, member: 110105"] I love my Limmers. The only place that sells them in the US is in New Hampshire but you can get them by mail order on the internet. I used to be on a mountain search and rescue team and we spent all our time in the toughest areas of the mountains with packs that averaged 80 to 100 pounds. Tried most of the good hunting boots but always went back to the Limmers. They're heavy but if you wear them every day like I do you don't notice. I've never gotten a blister from a new pair even with a heavy pack on a long mountain hike. It does take about six months to really get them broken in right though. They run about $400 but the upside is that I've never had a pair that didn't last at least ten years. One pair finally fell apart after 25 years. Now that I'm in my mid sixties I really appreciate the support. They have two versions. One is off the shelf, which work great for me. You have to send them tracings of your foot with and without socks. The custom version is more expensive but you actually have to get a cast made of your feet so they can make them to fit your feet exactly. These boots are geared to people that climb big mountains like Everest so the climbing community knows about them. They don't advertise to the hunting community but they're great for hunters. Even the cost of the custom ones aren't bad when you figure they'll last 10 or 15 years. I have a buddy that's climbed Everest three times and he swears by his Limmers.
