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.

Absolutely Recommend

I love these shoes. They were a gift from my sister. I have had two strokes and have tripped because of "drop foot" many times and have had other issues walking, too. I have had these shoes for a few weeks and have not had a single issue. I walked five laps at the track without stopping and without incident. Yes, the initial learning how to stand up and walk in them was well worth the few moments it took to give me freedom and confidence to walk a long distance in public.

His left side is affected . And I haven’t seen him trip on his left foot the way he usually does . Extremely happy with purchase so far . Thank you Cadense

Changed my husbands live

These have changed my husbands life. He has had MS since 1988. He has drop foot and swings his leg around. He now walks faster and is more stable, less of a fall hazard.

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.
