Best Footwear For Pain Relief

Oct 15, 2020

One of the best recovery footwear for pain relief is the Groove thong and slider designed with plantar fasciitis suffers in mind. More than just a thong, our Groove range is the perfect after work or post-sports footwear solution that’s a step above the 'good ol’Aussie’ thong.

 Let’s break it down:

1. Expertly designed dual-density midsole and dimensions shape the groove cutout underfoot.

2. Soft EVA top layer provides instant relief and cushioning that also molds to the shape of your foot over time.

Designed With Recovery In Mind

Designed with recovery in mind, Groove is the ultimate footwear option after kicking off those heels, runners, or enclosed footwear. As feet fatigue, the arch tends to flatten and the ankle rolls in causing swelling and pain. Wearing open-air footwear that elevates the heel and takes the pressure off your feet will help relieve any preexisting plantar fascia, heel-related or arch pain issues. The Groove is designed as an orthotic arch support thong meaning it’s lightweight, breathable, and aids in taking the pressure off the achilles and plantar fascia. 

The second layer is a firmer density foam. It’s the combination of the two layers that gives you a sturdy foundation not seen in everyday flip-flops. You’ll also notice thongs are flat whereas the Groove has an elevated heel. This lift allows the calf muscles and tendons greater relax easing tension and strain. The visible arch support in the Groove also prevents the foot from rolling in. This superior pressure relief is what makes the Groove so popular for general wear as well as sports recovery, injury recovery, and those with plantar fasciitis.

The Groove Collection

Benefits of Recovery Thongs:

1. Convenient slip-on supportive footwear.

2. A cooler alternative to a full-coverage shoe.

3. Optimal alignment of the lower body directly influencing spinal alignment.

It is always a great idea to refresh your footwear at the beginning of a new training regime, the start of a new season, or when entering a new work environment.  If you love the feeling of taking shoes off after a long run or day at work on your feet, forget flat and pamper feet with the perfect footwear addition to your post sport recovery or work attire.
