Here are 8 reasons 700+ clinicians are now recommending something different.

Most walking shoes are built around one idea: traction. Shoe companies are terrified of you slipping, so they cover the whole sole in rubber and tread that grips hard. This is great when you can lift your feet, but not so great if you shuffle or scrape the ground.

When a toe scrapes the ground, the foot stops dead, but the rest of your body keeps moving.

So after a close call, most people go buy shoes with MORE grip, because they've filed the problem under "slipping." Then the catching gets even worse.

Ask around and people describe it almost the same way every time:

• It happens more at the end of the day than at the start.
• Carpet is worse than hardwood, and the metal strip between two rooms is worst of all.
• Curbs and single steps are the dangerous ones, because you don't brace for them.
• One foot does it more than the other.
• Your foot sometimes feels heavy, or lands with a slap instead of a roll.
• You've started lifting one knee higher to clear the floor. Some people call it marching.

If your parents have started marching without deciding to, their brain already knows the front of their foot isn't clearing the ground, and it came up with a fix on its own. The fix works, but it takes a lot out of the person walking, which is why walking seems like more of an effort.

When you take a step, your foot doesn't stay flat. As your leg swings forward, a muscle in the front of your shin pulls your toes up, just enough to clear the floor. You have never once thought about it, because it's supposed to happen on its own.

But when that muscle gets weaker, or fires a split second late, the front of your foot hangs lower as it swings. You won't see it happen. It's usually less than half an inch.

Unfortunately, half an inch is all it takes to catch your foot and stumble.

This has a name: foot drop. Most of the time, it comes from the muscles in your shin getting weaker with age, a pinched nerve, or a back problem.

So you have half an inch less clearance than you used to, and a sole built to grab the floor. The first one is hard to change, but the second one isn't.

Unlike ordinary shoes, Cadense features a unique sole with adaptive nylon pucks that glide smoothly over obstacles. When you need traction, the shoe provides it instantly.

How, you may ask? The shoe is broken down into three components, all specifically designed to help you glide when you need to and grip when you need to.

Cadense shoes go where you go. They work well indoors and outdoors on almost any surface. Tripping hazards like uneven pavement, low pile carpet, door gaps, and others will soon be a thing of the past.

When your foot can glide instead of catch, you can handle just about any surface around your house (except ice, and even Cadense hasn't figured that one out yet).

Say goodbye to ugly orthopedic footwear and hello to gorgeous adaptive sneakers. The Cadense design team implemented the latest and greatest fashion trends to make sure you will walk better and look amazing.

Cadense has styles for men and women, both regular and wide sizing, and many colors, so there is truly something for everyone.

Cadense shoes are designed for single-hand use! Getting them on and taking them off is super easy. Use the little loop on the velcro tab for easy opening and closing. You'll be on your way in seconds!

If one side of your body is weaker, or bending down to your foot is the hard part, this is the thing that decides whether a shoe actually gets worn.
