Customer Reviews for Groove Charcoal (Male/Senior)
5 / 5 Stars
March 21, 2026I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for a few months. Needless to say I was at my wits end when I came across ascent thongs. I had other thongs which were good, but the thongs by ascent are excellent. Slowly, along with other changes to my shoes, my feet are starting to heal. The pain is slowly subsiding and what can I say? Thanks ascent for your wonderful product.

January 18, 2025These are the most comfortable thongs that I have ever used and able to walk long distances in them without getting sore feet and arches. Im so so happy that I am buying my second set as I use them all the time!!

Cushioning
-
EVA Footbed
Benefit: Super soft, allowing the foot to relax.
What is it: Very soft EVA foam.
Where is it: Top layer of the sandal.
-
Plantar Fascia Groove
Benefit: Provides relief from plantar fascia strain.
What is it: A groove carved into the firm base layer to allow the softer top layer to compress under pressure.
Where is it: On the bottom of the shoe directly underneath the plantar fascia.
Stability
-
Contoured Orthotic Footbed
Benefit: Helps to correct foot posture.
What is it: Moulded EVA contoured in the shape of an orthotic.
Where is it: Footbed directly under the full length of the foot in sandals.
-
Cup Heel
Benefit: Helps to align the foot.
What is it: Wrap around the heel on an open toe sandal.
Where is it: Heel of the footbed.
-
Dual Density
Benefit: Restricts harmful over-pronation (foot rolling inwards and arch collapsing). On stability trainers, it also provides lateral stability (restricts ankle roll) in typical side-to-side motion dynamics in court and grass sports.
What is it: A firmer density midsole foam.
Where is it: Over-Pronation restricting dual density is on the medial part of the midsole of the shoe. Lateral support dual density extends from the medial arch, right around the heel to the lateral side of the midsole of the shoe.
-
Elevated Heel
Benefit: Offloads the Achilles tendon
What is it: Raised footbed from heel to toe.
Where is it: Base layer of the sandal.
