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 patented Glide & Grip 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.

Life changer.

Hi, my name is Jeff and I have neuropathy and dropped foot in both feet and I have used a lot of products and I came across these shoes. I ordered them and the 2nd day. I had to travel from Fairbanks, Alaska to Phoenix Arizona and then on to El Paso, Texas, after that day of travel. I had so much confidence in the shoes. It was remarkable, now I've had them. About 3 weeks they feel great. I have all this confidence when I walk on different terrains. And it's working excellent, not one time, have I had?
An issue With falling.
I would recommend these shoes to anybody.That has trouble walking or just to anybody.They would like to have a safe shoe very comfortable and attractive.

Best Shoe for foot drop!

I have worn many products, and this shoe by far, is the best shoe for foot drop. I put my APO on with these shoes and together they bring a lot of comfort. Would highly recommend to family, friends, and associates. Come in many colors. For Men and Women.

Hi there! We're thrilled to hear that our Original Men's Adaptive Shoe helps with foot drop and brings you comfort. Thank you for recommending us and sharing your experience. We appreciate your support!

Rating of shoe

So far they seem to be satisfactory. Have not experienced a possible trip hazard yet that would activate the sliding feature of the shoe.

Hi Richard, thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you're satisfied with the shoes and haven't encountered any issues. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Enjoy your new shoes!

The only shoes that really work!

Cadense shoes are great. They completely address foot drop. I can walk again without tripping every second step. But please stock up on some more colours. Now that I wear these every day I need variety!

Hi Edward, we're thrilled to hear our shoes are making such a difference for you! Thank you for your kind words and great feedback on colors—I'll pass that along to our team. Stay tuned for more options soon!

A Quality Product That Really Helps

I was hesitant to buy these shoes because I thought the sliders would wear out quickly from concrete and such. I have had my first pair for 10 months. I wear them every day and they have held up great. I have not fallen once since I started wearing them.

I wish they came in a dress shoe. I don’t like being that guy who wears tennis shoes with slacks or with a suit, but I am. It has made so much of a change in my ability to walk that I wouldn’t risk not wearing them.

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Original Men's Adaptive Shoe. We're thrilled to hear they've made such a positive impact on your daily walks. Your feedback about a dress shoe option is valuable, and we'll pass it along to our team. Thanks again for your support!

Nothing else like it!

I bought my 92 year old dad a pair for Fathers Day and it’s now the only shoe he’ll wear. He loves the comfort and stability so much that my mom bought him a second pair. Great product and great customer service. If you are on the fence, just do it you won’t regret it.

Hi Ilene, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear your dad loves the shoes and that our service met your expectations. Wishing him many more comfortable walks! Best, The Cadense Team
