I had a summer job lined up right after college working for the Randolph Mountain Club very close to Intervale, NH in the White Mountains. The job involved clearing trees blown down from winter storms the previous season followed by extensive construction the rest of the summer to limit erosion. Limmers and Dickies were listed as the only required gear for the job, in order to handle the rugged terrain and any stray axe swings. One of the guys on the job walked in with a pair of $20 Brahma boots from Walmart and kinda mocked some of us for spending the money on those Limmers. By the end of the summer, the sole had split from his cheap boots and he was tired of duct taping them together, so he bit the bullet and headed to the Limmer store like we had. For the rest of our time on the trails he couldn't stop gushing about his new boots and how amazing the service was at the Limmer shop. My brothers followed in my footsteps and got the job working on the mountains and all of us have Limmers. One of my brothers has done trail work all over the world, Argentina, Mount Whitney, Nevada as well as the White Mountains and those Limmers go everywhere with him. My youngest brother just started his first season of trail work and picked up a pair of Limmers right before starting. In an age filled with hyper-consumerist cheap crap, for lack of any better terms, we need more businesses like Limmer, even if the price range is painful. As much as I love second-hand and surplus it seems that even there the cheap crap has started flooding in, so only time will tell if those less expensive quality options can survive in the future. Limmers are probably the only boot I'll ever own and this video reminded me that it's time to show those boots some love and give them a proper greasing.

Use shoe trees, brush with a horse hair brush after every wear and condition the leather with a leather conditioner when they get dry.
