Outstanding Customer Service

Why we made this shoe

We have designed the first truly adaptive shoe in the world for people with walking difficulties. Often they can't lift their foot enough to clear the ground when taking a step forward. In order to not trip they shuffle or develop a different coping mechanism.

Our Cadense Original Adaptive Shoe features groundbreaking, patented variable friction technology. It allows its wearer to slide over obstacles with ease and develop a more normal gait. 

But we have not stopped there. We made sure that the first truly adaptive shoe also feels like walking on clouds and looks stunning.

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 (E) width shoe, it should work with Cadense shoes.

Toe box: Our toe box is very generously spaced.

Weight of the shoe: About 13 oz per shoe – Men's size 9 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.

Pretty Good

I like the shoes. They are lightweight and I think they look good. They help me walk better. I have foot drop caused by cerebral palsy, so I wear an AFO on my left leg. The brace goes into the shoe easily. I did remove the insole from the left shoe. The one thing I don't like is that they can be slippery sometimes, especially when walking over a flooring transition strip and pressing on the brake pedal while driving. I don't wear these shoes when I know I will be driving later that day. I'm retired, so I don't drive every day. I feel confident when wearing them in wet conditions.

Very comfortable they let me walk without tripping. They make all the difference.

Good Design

I like the shoes-they are well made. Still adapting to the design since I don’t have much foot drop.

These shoes are great

Recently diagnosed with CIDP with a little foot drop. These shoes are great. What I have noticed is lateral movement. Especially on tile or wood floors. My New Balance would grab the flooring and throw me off balance. The Cadense shoes do not. I hope there will be a Cadense 2.0.

Frequently asked questions

Who are Cadense adaptive 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.
