How often does he have the outsole replaced?

He had them refurbished by Limmer one time within the last 10 years.

Fantastic that they do this in house. Def a bifl brand, and the 1st ive heard of it!

Any idea what the refurbishment costs?

Apologies for the vague response but the answer given was: "Definitely more than I originally paid for the boots." He paid about $65 in 1969.

Nice, worth it I'm sure. Probably 500$ for a new pair. Im still blown away that a pair of work boots could last that long.

This all led me to allen edmonds website, I had never been there before. Some really great bifl boots and dress shoes there! They also repair and refurbish.

I’ve worn my Limmers for ten years. Two soles. Thousand(s?) of miles. Five continents. They’re about 60% broken in.

Amazing! He certainly has not put that many miles on them, but has taken them to N. America, S. America, and Europe.
