The Terrifying Truth About Falls in Seniors

According to the CDC and JAMA, falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries in adults over 65. The numbers are staggering — and most families don't act until it's too late.

"I Got the Call I'd Been Dreading for Years"

My mother, Eleanor, was 74 and fiercely independent. She'd lived alone since my father passed, tended her garden every morning, and walked to the corner store twice a week. She refused to slow down — and I loved that about her.

Then one Tuesday in October, my phone rang at 2am. She'd caught her foot on the hallway rug, stumbled, and broken her hip. Eight months of surgery, rehab, and physical therapy followed. The garden went untended. The corner store became a memory.

Her physical therapist introduced us to Cadense. The Variable Friction Technology prevents exactly the kind of foot drag that caused her fall. The Velcro closure means she can put them on herself — no bending, no asking for help. She's been wearing them for eight months now.

She's back in her garden. She walks to the store again. And I sleep through the night.

— Sarah M., daughter of Eleanor, age 74 | Vancouver, BC

Why Cadense Works When Other Shoes Fail

Cadense is the only shoe in the world with patented Variable Friction Technology — engineered specifically to solve the #1 cause of senior falls: foot drag.

Glide Zones

Low-friction zones under the heel and toe allow the foot to slide forward naturally during walking — eliminating the drag that causes stumbling.

Rocker Sole

A curved rocker bottom guides the foot through a smooth, natural gait cycle — reducing the effort needed to take each step by up to 30%.

Grip Zone

High-friction rubber under the ball of the foot locks in at the moment of push-off — providing the traction needed to prevent slipping on any surface.

Your Parent Can Put Them On Themselves. Every Single Morning.

14% of senior falls happen during dressing — specifically when bending to put on shoes. Cadense eliminates this risk entirely with a wide, easy-grip Velcro strap that opens and closes with one hand.

No bending. No lacing. No asking for help. Just independence — every single morning.

✓ Wide opening for easy foot entry — even with swollen feet

✓ One-handed closure — perfect for arthritis or limited mobility

✓ Available in 8 widths including wide and extra-wide

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my parent actually wear them?

Yes — and that's one of the most common things we hear from our customers. Because Cadense shoes look like normal, stylish footwear (not medical shoes), seniors are far more likely to wear them every day. The comfort also keeps them coming back.

What if their feet are wide or they are wearing orthotics?

Cadense Original comes regular and wide width. The removable insole also accommodates custom orthotics and AFO braces.

How do I know which size to order?

We recommend ordering your parent's normal shoe size. If they're in between sizes or have wide feet, size up. Our 30-day return policy means you can exchange for a different size at no cost.

Are these covered by insurance or HSA/FSA?

Cadense shoes are HSA/FSA eligible, meaning you can use pre-tax health savings dollars to purchase them. Many customers save 20–40% this way. Check with your plan provider for details.

What if they doesn't like them?

Return them within 30 days for a full refund — no questions asked, no return shipping fees. We're that confident they'll love them.

How long do they last?

With normal daily wear, Cadense shoes last 12–18 months. The Variable Friction Technology sole is rated for 500+ miles of walking.
