"The Ascent Geelong has been a cure all"

I have been suffering from a very sore left foot for a few years now as a result of wearing a particularly well known European brand of shoe for about a month - very flat and thin soled. Since then I have tried a number of other well know brands and styles of shoes to deal with the problem. Nothing worked, so I went to a podiatrist and he provided orthotics. I tried the orthotics with most of the brands and styles I had but after being on my feet for some time the pain was significant in all. After a couple of revisits he suggested I try Ascent shoes. I bought the Geelong in black and ordered the Cedar. After no more than just over a week wearing both I can say that the pain was gone. I also wear the orthotics in the other brands I have kept (having discarded a number of brands to the charity bin) and the pain does not occur. The Ascent Geelong has been a cure all. I hope it continues.

"like a favourite pair of sneakers"

For the last 13 years I have been delivering forklift High Risk Work training and licensing. I have always been particular about the choice of footwear that I use. Your Ascent shoes have a lower impact through the heel and arch support and feel like a favourite pair of sneakers. I noticed under the innersole arch support that there is a circular built in pad of extra support that I have never seen in any other safety footwear. Throughout my nearly 50 years of working life doing jobs involving a lot of standing and walking I have never experienced a more robustly constructed safety shoe with a "walking on air" feel to it. Well done on your design and quality without compromising your attention to comfort. I am thankful and committed to wearing your Ascent Safety footwear.

"I have zero complaints"

I have been wearing my Ascent shoes every day to the office for the past few weeks and I have zero complaints, in fact I only have praise. They are very comfortable and feel like I'm wearing sneakers. I have also worn them outside of work to dinner, events, movies etc. and even to a construction site (steel toe not required).

"the comfort and support of a sports shoes in a black business type shoe"

In early July 1011,  I suffered a severe injury rupturing the Achilles tendons in both ankles.  Following surgery I was confined to a wheelchair for a number of weeks, and then moon boots and crutches for a further 5 weeks. Following that period I was able to walk with the aid of a walking stick but was unable to wear my business shoes for work. I normally wear dress clothes or a suit and you can imagine how good that looked with a pair of white and red sports shoes as they were the only shoes I could actually wear without crippling me.

I started to research a suitable shoe that would look reasonable with my dress clothes and provide the comfort I required.  I came across your shoes and thought I would check them out.  I visited 'The Athlete’s Foot' at Shellharbour and the gentleman who served me could not have been more helpful and fitted me with a pair of your business shoes.

I have now been wearing those shoes for the past 4 months and cannot commend you enough on the comfort these shoes provide.  I still suffer from severe 'Plantar Fasciitis' which will eventually improve with the treatment I am receiving but that issue flares up dramatically when I try to wear other well-known brand shoes.

Your shoes fit, and provide as advertised, the comfort and support of a sports shoes in a black business type shoe.  I have discussed these shoes with my physiotherapist who is very impressed with the support and comfort they provide.

Thank you again for the foresight in developing a shoe with the technology to improve foot problems for people like me.

"comfortable, supportive, great fitting works boots"

I am writing to say how much I have appreciate one of your products. In September, 2010, I purchased a pair of Alpha Black Size 13 Work Boots from our local Athlete's Foot Store. These boots are the most comfortable, supportive, great fitting works boots I have ever purchased. I work in a local Tile and Ceramics warehouse on concrete floors. These boots handle wet conditions and concrete floors very well. I also wear these boots for walking for fitness as well. I have just purchased the same boots again. They are excellent. Other boots that I have purchased haven't even lasted 6 months. But these Alpha boots have lasted 20 months. Well done to Ascent Footwear for making an excellent product which I recommend to others.

Thank you, from a very appreciative storeman.

"as soon as I put them on I could walk properly"

A couple years ago I wore shoes to work as a fulltime checkout girl that were of ridiculously poor quality and ended up in that much pain in my foot I could barely walk. The podiatrist told me it was plantar fasciitis and to go to Athlete's Foot to buy the Ascent Avara, which I have worn religiously since then and am extremely happy with, considering as soon as I put them on I could walk properly.
