Hey! I'm a freelance writer and guidebook author. I've authored "New Hampshire's 52 With A View - A Hiker's Guide", serve as editor of Appalachian Mountain Club's "Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide", and and am co-editor of the "White Mountain Guide", also for AMC. I'm currently beginning work on the 6th Edition of AMC's Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide, which will be published in 2025. I live in southern New Hampshire and can usually be found wandering throughout the state's mountains and forests.
As someone who hikes a lot, I cannot stress the importance and value of good footwear. We hikers tend to do a lot of miles in New Hampshire’s White Mountains – and those are especially rough and steep miles. Footwear is a personal choice and it’s up to each individual to find out what works best for their body and choice of terrain. If you are serious about making a long-term investment in the best hiking boots for you (and have some time), Peter Limmer & Sons in Intervale crafts some of the finest boots in the world.
Peter Limmer & Sons has been crafting the finest handmade boots for hikers and mountaineers around the world since 1919.
Peter Limmer Sr. first learned the trade of bootmaking from his father at age 9. In 1919, he launched his own business in the Bavarian town of Vachendorf before moving to the U.S. and setting up shop in Intervale, New Hampshire.
For more than 100 years, the company has never wavered from the standards and craftsmanship that Peter Limmer Sr. began. The boots you are buying today are built the same way they were in 1919.
The reputation, durability, and handmade craftsmanship that goes into every Limmer boot has made them legendary among hikers both in the U.S. and around the world.
Custom boots made by Limmer are tailored for a specific individual. They are in investment and there is a waiting list, but the final product is worth it.
No matter if you are someone who is just getting started with hiking in New Hampshire or are seeking mountaineering adventures around the world, let Peter Limmer & Sons craft the best hiking boots you’ll ever own. For more information, visit the Peter Limmer & Sons website and keep up with the latest updates by following Peter Limmer & Sons on Facebook.
