Dale’s Bootery Announces Retirement Sale After 56 Years of Serving the Community

After 56 years of proudly serving the Whitewater community, Dale’s Bootery has announced that it will be closing its doors as Bob Herold enters retirement. Starting May 1, 2026, the store will host a Retirement Sale offering customers a final opportunity to shop and reminisce with Bob and his staff.

“After many rewarding years, the time has come for us to step into retirement. We are incredibly grateful for the support of our customers, employees, and community. This Retirement Sale is our way of saying thank you and giving everyone a chance to find something special one more time,” said Bob Herold.

The Retirement Sale will begin on May 1, 2026 and continue through June 30, 2026, or until inventory is sold. Customers are encouraged to visit early for the best selection. Anyone with gift cards or store credits remaining is encouraged to use them as soon as possible.

For decades, Dale’s Bootery has been fortunate enough to have built lasting relationships with customers, supported local events, employed area residents, remained an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, and contributed to the community when possible. “We hope that we leave as many good memories with you as you have with us and we encourage you to stop in and share those memories with us,” Bob added.

While the storefront will close, Bob Herold looks forward to the next phase in life while continuing to offer limited shoe repair services (inquire for details).
