With Cadense Shoes you can walk easier, move better, and stay active.

Adapts as You Walk

Cadense adapts as you walk, helping your steps feel smoother and more controlled across the surfaces you move on every day.

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.

Comfort You’ll Want to Wear All Day

Support only matters if it feels good to wear.

Cadense sneakers are lightweight, cushioned, and supportive — designed to help walking feel easier while still looking like a modern sneaker.

The result is a shoe that feels comfortable from the first step and helps you walk with more ease, confidence, and control throughout the day.

Easy On. Easy Off. No Fuss.

Cadense sneakers are designed to be simple to put on and adjust — even if bending, balance, or hand strength is a challenge.

Using one hand, open the velcro strap, step into the shoe, and adjust it to your comfort. The wide opening and secure closure help you get moving quickly and comfortably.

Less effort getting ready. More confidence getting out the door.

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.

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?

Cadence thank you for coming out with these type of shoes that hit the points of my everyday struggle. I got a couple of pairs from you guys different colors.

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.

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

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!

Very comfortable

Hi Jonathan, we're glad to hear you find the shoes comfortable! Thanks for your feedback and support.

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
