Customer Reviews for Pace Ironbark (Female/Senior)
5 / 5 Stars
May 05, 2026Highly recommended as I can get sore feet. Great arch support and excellent sole grip on gravelly or slippery ground. Wore my pair of these to Pompeii site today. Very happy with their performance.

September 22, 2025I've been wearing Pace shoes for almost 2 years, pretty much every day, for long walks as well as around home and town, all day long. They are just starting to look a bit worn and I'm ordering another pair, they are so comfortable. The only thing is the laces always come undone and I have to tie a double knot.

March 13, 2025Having plantar fasciitis for many years, I’ve had to buy expensive orthotics which I can no longer afford at $500.00 a set. Since finding Ascent shoes I no longer have to. The pressure relieving cutouts and the inner support of all their shoes now give me the support that I need. And on top of that the pace shoe is also very light reducing any leg aching, but I love the groove thongs the most. I haven’t been able to wear anything other than shoes that took my orthotics for years, these thongs have changed my life!
— Tanya SFrequently Asked Questions about Pace Ironbark (Female/Senior)
Q: Is this shoe a genuine 41 or size small? Also what is the toe drop height I have PF in one foot and need about 1.5 mmmdrop Thankyou for your assistance
A: Hi Heather, Our shoes generally have a 10 to 12 mm drop. In terms of sizing, they fit similarly to a standard running shoe. Kindest Regards,
Outsole
-
TRACTION
Benefit: Aggressive outsole tread, ideal for use on trails and loose terrain.
What is it: Lugged rubber outsole grips and holds well on grass, rock and rough surfaces.
Where is it: On the bottom of the shoe where it contacts the ground.
Cushioning
-
Arch Support Insole (BUNGEE)
Benefit: Arch support insole with increased arch support and more cushioning. Removable, and so able to be replaced with orthotics if needed.
What is it: Specially formulated BUNGEE foam formed to cup around the heel and under the arch (thicker under the arch than our normal arch support insole providing more support). Holes distributed from the forefoot and around the arch, combined with channels moulded into the bottom of the insole promote airflow.
Where is it: Inside the shoe, directly under the foot.
-
BUNGEE™ Midsole Top
Benefit: Provides great energy return over a long period, so that the spring stays in your step no matter how far you walk or run.
What is it: Bouncy elastic sponge material.
Where is it: On the top layer of the midsole.
Stability
-
ExoFrame
Benefit: Supports the ankle and holds the heel firmly in place, providing excellent stability when the foot first strikes the ground. A firm heel counter is essential for fundamental support and stability.
What is it: Rigid plastic material that is shaped to match the contours of your heel.
Where is it: Inside the upper part of the shoe, surrounding the back and sides of the heel.
-
Kinetic Matrix™
Benefit: A system of technologies combining to enhance gait efficiency and reduce fatigue to the foot and lower limbs.
What is it: Firm, lightweight sculpted EVA cradle, Full length BUNGEE cushioning and a thermoplastic heel stabiliser.
Where is it: The midsole of the shoe, which is the part under the foot, between the outsole and the upper.
-
Nylon Shank
Benefit: Supports the arch area of the foot, and prevents the shoe from bending in the wrong place (in the middle of the shoe). The shoe should naturally bend across the joints in the forefoot region.
What is it: A hardened nylon piece.
Where is it: Placed internally (in the sole) in the arch area of the shoe.
Upper
-
Waxed Leather
Benefit: Rugged full grain leather that is durable.
What is it: Waxy full grain leather that is naturally water resistant.
Where is it: Upper
