Skiing and hiking still on the agenda for 65 year-old

A 65 year-old man is still showing that he is as fit as he was twenty years ago by giving up his day job to become an adventurer, according to reports.

The one time mountaineer and ice climber, who was born years before the technology of hiking boots of Ecco, Merrell and Keen existed to make exercise in the form of hill-walking that little bit easier, is still keen walker and loves to get on the slopes.

Bob Garrison, who according to the Concordmonitor.com has climbed mountains in the Himalayas and the Alps, now loves to ski down mountains rather than climb up them but preferred hiking to the ski lift.

"This year, I went up with my season pass and they threw me out," Garrison said.

"They said no hiking allowed. I always hike up for my first run. That's my thing, I like it," he told the paper.

If you fancy investing in a pair of walking shoes that could last into your old age then suitable brands from the likes of Ecco, Merrell and Mizuno can be found here at Fitness Footwear.
