Toe Assist Kit

Not necessarily. Most users don’t require the kit. But if you have a very steep foot drop angle, drag your toes noticeably, or often wear out the tip of your shoes, the Toe Assist Kit may offer better performance and durability from day one.

Yes. It’s a perfect upgrade for anyone who’s starting to see puck wear near the front of the shoe. It can help extend the life of your soles and improve function.

Installing the Toe Assist Kit is quick and easy — it takes about 10 minutes and just three simple steps. If you prefer not to install it yourself, we recommend asking someone with good hand strength and dexterity for assistance, or visiting your local shoe repair shop.

Step 1: Clean the tip of your shoe using the included alcohol cleaning pad. Let it dry completely.

Step 2: Apply the tape primer to the same area and allow it to dry fully.

Step 3: Peel off the red backing from the adhesive on the Toe Assist Puck, carefully align it with the tip of the shoe, and press firmly for one minute.

*For best results, allow the adhesive to cure for 72 hours to ensure maximum strength.

The Cadense Toe Assist Kit is specifically designed for individuals who tend to drag the toes of their shoes while walking. By extending the low-friction surface to the tip of the shoe, the pucks make it easier to glide over surfaces—even at steeper angles—providing added support for toe-drag gait patterns.

However, please note that this low-friction enhancement at the toe may reduce grip during toe-off for users with strong push-off forces on the affected side. For this reason, tip pucks are not pre-installed on all Cadense Original shoes, but they can be a valuable add-on for those who benefit from improved glide at the toe.

No. The Toe Assist Kit is designed specifically for Cadense Original Shoes and may not function properly on other footwear.

No, installing the Toe Assist Pucks doesn’t void the return policy for your Cadense Originals. However, we strongly recommend making sure your shoes fit well and that you’re happy with them before applying the pucks, since they need to be glued on.
