Why we made this shoe

We have designed the first truly adaptive shoe in the world for people with walking difficulties. Often they can't lift their foot enough to clear the ground when taking a step forward. In order to not trip they shuffle or develop a different coping mechanism.

Our Cadense Original Women's Adaptive Shoe features groundbreaking, patented variable friction technology. It allows its wearer to slide over obstacles with ease and develop a more normal gait. 

But we have not stopped there. We made sure that the first truly adaptive shoe also feels like walking on clouds and looks stunning.

Product Details

AFO compatibility: Our shoes might work with your AFO depending on its size. If you currently are able to fit your AFO into a shoe in a regular or Wide (D) width shoe, it should work with Cadense shoes.

Toe box: Our toe box is very generously spaced.

Weight of the shoe: About 10.8 oz per shoe – Women's size 8 was used as reference.

Heel to Toe Drop: Standard 3/8".

Shoe sole height: Our shoe sole measures about 1.5 inches throughout. The height is needed to allow the variable friction technology to work properly and it also makes for a very comfortable walking experience.

40 years with MS and in the last 15 partial foot drop. This is my second pair of Cadense shoes. I bought this pair to have a choice of colors. While wearing these shoes I no longer stumble and trip. I have the confidence to go places without worrying about falling. Thank you Cadence

Mostly wonderful

They are a little high, bothering my ankles, they also are slippery if you don’t put weight on your heals, but they 100 percent help with my foot drop, so a little trade off. I am very glad I own them

Thank you for your honest feedback! We’re so glad to hear that Cadense shoes are helping with your foot drop—it’s wonderful to know they’re making a positive difference in your mobility.

We appreciate your notes about the fit around your ankles and the slipperiness when weight isn’t on the heels. These insights are incredibly valuable as we continue to refine our designs. If you’d like, our team can share tips to optimize your experience with the shoes—just reach out to us at support@cadense.com.

Thank you again for choosing Cadense. We’re so glad they’ve been helpful for you, and we’re here to support you every step of the way!

Frequently asked questions

Who are the 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 proprietary, patent-pending variable friction 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.
