Outstanding Customer Service

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 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 (E) width shoe, it should work with Cadense shoes.

Toe box: Our toe box is very generously spaced.

Weight of the shoe: About 13 oz per shoe – Men's size 9 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.

Benefits of Adaptive Shoes

Due to the effects of a rear end hit and run collision I’ve experienced multiple mobility and stability issues. I have greatly increased my mobility thanks to these shoes. They are fantastic and even improved my mobility with non-adaptive shoes which is an added benefit.

They are also comfortable and stylish. Highly recommended.

I'm more safe with these shoes. No more tripping or catching my toe on every step. They are comfortable and work great this summer due to the material being breathable. I don't know how well they will work in the winter with snow and slash etc, but I'll find out shortly and I'm sure they'll be okay as long as I wear decent socks. These allowed me to be more stable and progress faster in my stroke recovery. I didn't realize how much my regular shoes were holding me back in my walking. Next I would like to see a hiking shoe/boot made for light trail use that is waterproof and insulated. But for now the existing design is perfect for what I need. I'd recommend these to anyone that's how a stroke or has dropped foot for any reason or just find themselves catching their toe when they're moving their leg forward for any reason.

kudos to cadence!

Not only can I put these on by myself, but also I no linger wear my afo! One thought; have the non affected side have a no slip sole, only problem I have is going down a steep driveway, I'd like more traction for my good leg.

These are LIFE CHANGING!

This is my second pair of Cadense shoes. I’m a stroke survivor with mild to moderate foot drop. Since wearing these my confidence and feeling of being safe in varying circumstances has gone through the roof. Like my cell phone, I can’t imagine what is was like before without having them.

These shoes are outstanding

I received these shoes yesterday and they are fantastic. Not only do they prevent foot drop but mentally they make you feel more confident when walking.

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 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.
