Why We Made This Shoe
We made this shoe for people who feel like they have to think about every step.
Walking difficulties often show up as shuffling, trips, or unsteady steps. Cadense is designed to make walking feel easier and more natural.
Its unique sole helps your foot glide forward when it makes contact with the ground, then activates grip as you apply weight— supporting steadier steps without conscious effort.
The result is a walk that feels lighter, safer, and less tiring — in a sneaker that’s comfortable, supportive, and modern-looking.
Product Details
AFO compatibility: Our shoes might work with your AFO depending on its size. If you currently are able to fit your AFO into a shoe in a regular or Wide (D) width shoe, it should work with Cadense shoes.
Toe box: Our toe box is very generously spaced.
Weight of the shoe: About 10.8 oz per shoe – Women's size 8 was used as reference.
Heel to Toe Drop: Standard 3/8".
Shoe sole height: Our shoe sole measures about 1.5 inches throughout. The height is needed to allow the variable friction technology to work properly and it also makes for a very comfortable walking experience.

Adapts as You Walk
Cadense adapts as you walk, helping your steps feel smoother and more controlled across the surfaces you move on every day.
If you tend to drag your foot or have trouble lifting it high enough to clear the ground, the adaptive sole helps the foot glide instead of catching — then activates grip as weight is applied. This supports steadier steps without constant focus.
Comfort You’ll Want to Wear All Day
Support only matters if it feels good to wear.
Cadense sneakers are lightweight, cushioned, and supportive — designed to help walking feel easier while still looking like a modern sneaker.
The result is a shoe that feels comfortable from the first step and helps you walk with more ease, confidence, and control throughout the day.
Easy On. Easy Off. No Fuss.
Cadense sneakers are designed to be simple to put on and adjust — even if bending, balance, or hand strength is a challenge.
Using one hand, open the velcro strap, step into the shoe, and adjust it to your comfort. The wide opening and secure closure help you get moving quickly and comfortably.
Less effort getting ready. More confidence getting out the door.

Frequently asked questions
Who are the shoes for?
We have created the Cadense Original adaptive sneaker for people experiencing walking difficulties. Our shoe may help seniors with walking difficulties, individuals experiencing foot drop, stroke patients, people with multiple-sclerosis, or cerebral palsy.
How do Cadense Adaptive Shoes work?
Cadense adaptive shoes use our proprietary, patent-pending variable friction technology.
Low-friction elements on the shoe sole allow you the slide over everyday obstacles like uneven pavements. High friction rubber parts get activated when weight is placed on the shoe and allow you to stop and toe-off as needed.
See more details on how the Cadense Adaptive shoes work.
Which size should I pick?
When selecting the size for our shoes, we recommend choosing your regular size as our shoes are true to size. Our sizing is designed to provide a comfortable and accurate fit based on standard sizing conventions.
If you are uncertain about your size or have specific concerns, you may refer to our sizing guide for additional guidance. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team for personalized assistance. We want to ensure that you find the perfect fit and have a positive experience with our adaptive footwear.
