★★★★★With Cadense Shoes you can walk easier, move better, and stay active.
Timeless style. Modern adaptive technology.
The Cadense Men's Adaptive Derby combines the polished look of a classic leather dress shoe with innovative adaptive technology to help you move with greater confidence. Designed for individuals experiencing foot drop, shuffling gait, reduced foot clearance, or other mobility challenges, it's the perfect choice for work, special occasions, or everyday wear.
Featuring our patented Variable Friction Technology™, the Adaptive Derby helps create a smoother walking experience by reducing friction during swing while providing traction during push-off. The premium leather upper delivers a refined appearance, while the adaptive closure makes the shoe easy to put on and provides a secure, adjustable fit.
Whether you're heading to the office, attending an event, or simply prefer a more classic look, the Men's Adaptive Derby offers the perfect balance of comfort, confidence, and timeless style.
Material: Crafted with genuine leather for a polished, classic dress-shoe look.
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 our Men's Derby shoes.
Toe box: Our toe box is very generously spaced.
Weight: Approximately 13.8–15.9 oz per shoe (Men's size 10; varies by color)
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.

The Cadense Derby brings our adaptive sole technology into a more polished silhouette.
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.
From work and dinners to weddings, church, and special occasions, the Cadense Derby gives you a polished option when sneakers don’t fit the occasion.
Crafted in leather with a classic Derby silhouette, it pairs easily with everything — while giving you the comfort and adaptive functionality you expect from Cadense.
Getting dressed up shouldn’t mean struggling with your shoes.
The Cadense Derby is designed for easier on and off, with an accessible closure that makes it simpler to open, step in, secure, and adjust to your comfort.
You get the polished look of a traditional leather shoe with thoughtful features designed to make getting ready easier.

The Cadense Mary Jane and Men’s Derby bring our adaptive technology to polished, dressier silhouettes — so there’s a Cadense option for the moments that call for something beyond a sneaker.
Cadense Derby shoes are designed for men with walking challenges like foot drop who want a dressier alternative to an everyday sneaker. They’re a polished option for work, church, weddings, dinners, special occasions, or anytime you want a more formal look while still having Cadense adaptive technology underfoot.
The Derby uses Cadense’s adaptive glide-to-grip sole. The sole is designed to glide during light contact with the ground to help reduce toe catching and foot drag, then return to familiar grip as weight is applied.
When selecting the size for our shoes, we recommend choosing your typical shoe size as our shoes run true to size. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend opting for the larger size.
Yes. The Derby is designed with an easy on-and-off closure so you can open the shoe, step in, and adjust the fit without the hassle of a traditional dress shoe.
The Derby combines the polished look and leather construction of a traditional dress shoe with Cadense adaptive functionality. It gives you a dressier option without having to switch back to a conventional sole.
