While we didn't find the shoe size my wife was looking for, we did find a brand and style she really liked. Additionally, I found a good pair of Nike's on sale for myself, and some shoe spray we needed. It's a great store, and I recommend stopping by, especially for mens boots. Be aware there were only 5 or so size 12's for women, but they still had a nice selection of shoes otherwise.

But as I was at the check out with 2 and the hiking boots they had picked out the women at the register was so rude and snarkie that I in turned left with sad little boys.

My oldest was with dad so luckly got a very nice man and the boots of his dreams. 1 worked customer service for many years and would never have used that kind of tone.

They always have exactly what we need for all four family members and the prices are really hard to beat. Just picked up four pairs of shoes, including hiking boots, for less than $200.

I've had Limmer boots going back nearly 35 years. I had -- past tense -- the Lightweights. They…read morecarried me up a lot of 4,000-footers in the White Mountains, taller ones in Colorado, and Mt Fuji on a business trip to Japan. They were the most comfortable boots I've had bar none. I had them resoled, I was careful to grease them, and miss them terribly. Alas, they were stolen one day. Part of me hopes the thief got blisters or tore a ligament. Part of me hopes they are wearing them in good health. I just bought the Hikers and am in love with Limmer again. The service they provided, as we got the fit right, was outstanding. Chris, out of Ft Collins, was exceedingly patient and insightful. Yes, I cannot recommend the Hikers enough; they are super comfortable, have great traction, and are gorgeous to look at. Thank you, Limmer. Be prepared for my order a second set of Lightweights as long as I can get an airtag to attach. You all deserve the reputation as being the finest boots out there.

Come here for the smell and to watch a bunch of cute men working, or for hiking boots! My husband…read morehad a question about a 15 year old leather belt that he absolutely loves and wants to replicate or repair. I was hoping they wouldn't be able to do anything about it because I'm trying to surprise him with one for Christmas (if I can find it!) They were so understanding and attentive, incredibly sweet. They brainstormed together on how they could fix it and we ended up deciding against it because it would be a lot of man-hours put into hand making a new one. Whew! This is a family business that started in 1919 in Bavaria and has been open in NH since 1950. They specialize in hiking boots and they're known to have a 2-3 year waitlist for custom boots! They also have boots in stock you can purchase, if I were a local I'd definitely get a pair. Since we're up here twice a year we may just decide to!
