Adaptive AFO Shoe

I have a personally fitted afo, but have found all my shoes cause it to dig into me in a painful, blister causing fashion. These were the first shoes that I’ve been able to comfortably move around in.

Adaptive AFO Shoe

These quality shoes have me a lot of peace of mind from the fear of stumbling. They work well with my AFO. Be prepared to take a lot of flack from the medical community. Not all but some. I told them to stick it. Thanks you guys Bob Burbank

I’m a relatively new customer at Cadense, I wear one of two custom AFO braces full time for foot drop. I’ve searched and tried numerous “AFO friendly” shoes.

Walking keeps me moving and motivated, the Original AFO shoe does exactly what they say it does. There is a learning curve to get comfortable doing things a little differently.

This is the only shoe that is deep enough to accommodate my brace, it makes it so easy to put on and take off with the Velcro attached laces. No more tying shoes!

I’m starting with one shoe on the affected right side. These shoes have already saved me from two stumbles.

I’m looking forward to the new AFO shoe to come back in stock in July, I sure look forward to trying them!

Thank you Cadense!

I purchased these for my husband who has foot drop. They fit well with the brace and are easy to get on and off without struggling. The velcro fasteners are secure,easy and make the fit secure but easy to remove. The shoe sole works well and non slip. His rehab dr is very impressed.

Great pair of shoes. They work great with my AFO. I’d buy a second pair if I could afford them.

They are great easy to put on with my brace

The AFO accomodating shoe is truly a brilliant design. My physical therapist is delighted. I would have given 5 stars except I am not a fan of unisex designs. (The shoe is inclusive of men and women. My shoes are a little spacious in the heel, for example. Also, I can hardly wait until they are available in other colors than black.

Finally a shoe that actually works with my AFO. I can get it on without struggling, and walking feels smoother instead of clunky. Big difference in my day-to-day.

Super easy to put on with my brace, even on days when I�m tired. Walking feels more natural, especially when taking longer steps.

I had polio at age 4. Heavy iron braces, ugly shoes, dragging feet. So so many shoes I have tried, so many tears. Last year I purchased the Cadence sandals for women to test them out. I was so astonished at how I well I stood and walked. Still using a brace, walker and wheelchair. When the ad for AFO shoes being developed my first thought was, yeah right, good luck with that. I put my name on the list to be notified and forgot about it. a couple of months ago I noticed that the shoes were available so reluctantly I ordered a pair. I cannot take them off my feet. I fell in love. My brace slid right into the opening without any trouble. My Leg slides along and I am able to take a step instead of hiking my leg up which stresses my hip, which exhausts me where I have to sit down. I do not want to stop walking. The slide and rocking of the construction of this shoe is a miracle for someone who has lived buying two pairs of ugly shoes all my life. I am so excited and wait for some other colors to emerge. Thanks to all who developed these awesome shoes. Barbara Crowe

These are the first sneakers I�ve owned that don�t fight against my AFO. They open up enough to get everything in comfortably, and then feel secure once closed.

The design actually makes sense for AFO users. I don�t have to force my foot in, and the slight slide helps me move forward without tripping as much.

I didn�t expect the �glide� feature to make such a difference, but it really helps. My foot doesn�t catch like it used to, and I feel more confident walking.

These have made my daily routine so much easier. Less time putting shoes on, and walking feels smoother and more controlled. Really happy with them.

Putting shoes on used to be the hardest part of my morning. With these, the wide opening makes it easy to slide my brace in, and I�m out the door in seconds.

Getting my AFO into regular sneakers was always a hassle. These open up wide and close easily, and once they�re on, they feel stable and comfortable.

What I notice most is how much less effort it takes to walk. The shoe helps me move instead of holding me back, which is something I haven�t felt before.

I�ve tried a lot of �wide� shoes, but these are different. The opening and structure make it simple to fit my AFO, and they don�t look medical at all.
