Welcome to Intervale!
Since moving into the "Limmer Barn" in 1950 we have offered these services to our clients from around the world.
Peter Limmer & Sons
Peter Limmer Sr. began his business in Vachendorf, Bavaria in 1919, moved to the Jamaica Plains neighborhood of Boston in 1926, and has been operated out of this historic building since 1950.
Plan on visiting to learn more about the rich history of the Limmer family, this building, our customers, and of course our boots.
The Limmer Custom Boot
Since 1919, the Limmer family has been focused on providing the highest quality footwear. We are known for the precision, ruggedness, and functional design of our custom hiking boots. If you have a history of fit issues, foot problems, or simply want to own the best hiking boots money can buy, we are here to help.
The Custom Boot Process
The Backlog
Historically the backlog has been between 1 and 5 years, currently it is about 2 years. Start the process by reserving your spot on-line or in person.
The Notification
When your name reaches the top, we’ll notify you by mail so you can book your fitting appointment. If you cannot visit the shop within 30 days, you may secure your spot for one year with an additional deposit.
The Pilgrimage & Measurement
To guarantee the fit, final measurements are taken in person at Peter Limmer & Sons in Intervale, NH or at a Regional Measurement Event. During your visit, we’ll take detailed measurements, foot tracings and notes, discuss options, and share the shop and build process. If you cannot visit, we can build boots from customer-supplied measurements, though we cannot guarantee the fit. Once we have your final measurements, your boots enter the build queue and are typically completed in about three months.
The Investment & Value
Custom boots are a significant investment,
and we take that commitment seriously. With custom-fit boots, you’re investing in your feet, your comfort, and your enjoyment of the outdoors. It may sound cliché, but we believe in building more than just boots; we build lasting relationships. We take the time to understand each customer and their unique needs before crafting boots that are
tailor-made for their feet. Every pair is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, from selecting the finest leather hides to creating custom-made lasts. The final result is a pair of boots as unique as the individual wearing them. These are 'boots for the ages' in design, in fit and in longevity. Long after other boots have been retired, you will reach for your Limmers.
Limmer Stock Boot Fitting
We offer personal fittings of all available Limmer products and take time with each customer to do our best to make sure they leave here with the best possible fit. When coming in for a stock boot fitting, there are a few things we need you to keep in mind. First, it’s very important that we see you with an unstressed foot, so if you are coming to our area to hike,it’s imperative that you come see us first, bring heavy hiking socks and plan on an hour or so of time.
Limmer Consignment Boots
For Decades, the Limmer "Consignment Wall" has offered gently used, rebuilt and even new boots in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes. Consignment boots are only available for in person sales.
Limmer Repair
During your visit to the shop we will take detailed measurements and tracings of your feet and take notes on specific issues you have. While you are here we will discuss options and show you the shop and boot build process.
Once we have these final measurement your boots will go into the build queue. Typically your boot will be completed in approximately three months from this point.
