I have a pair of custom Limmers from the '80s. While I did get a lot of use out of them, and I did tend to carry very heavy packs back then taking out groups, I have since moved to much lighter footwear, even in the Whites. I first moved to lighter, full cut boots, then to low cut trail shoes. Ironically, I have had less trouble with ankle rolls. I cannot see myself going back, but maybe I will strap them on some time for nostalgic purposes.
