Dale’s very first experience doing any kind of serious hiking didn’t come until he was in his sixties. He hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, and he fell in love with hiking. He fell in love so much that he decided he wanted to hike they Himalayas next.
Dale explains that “he wasn’t twenty years old anymore—he was sixty-four years old.” But he wasn’t about to let his age, or his foot pain stop him from pursing his passions.
Dale was fitted with custom orthotics from the Kansas City Good Feet Store, and it’s what made the difference for him in being able to pursue his passion of hiking. He ended up trekking over ninety miles in the Himalayas, and he did it all completely pain free. For that, he says, he is extremely grateful and he doesn’t take it for granted.
