Dick, Where is Limmer or other boot makers? I have considered having custom footbeds made, there is a ski shop in Flint that makes custom footbeds and...
Great reply Siler - thanks. This philosophy is really similar (well, almost verbatim) to Ray Jardine's in his "Beyond Backpacking" book. I actually find this...
Looks like I'd be in for at least 2 road trips to get custom boots. A search found that most boot makers are in Texas, AZ, Utah and Limmer is in NH. The...
