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 (2E) 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.

Takes some getting used to!

Well my husband has been wearing them for at least a few weeks. He says he is still not used to them, but he hasn’t been falling as much either. Other people have asked us what is the deal with his shoes and want to know why there is no grip on them. It’s actually only his left foot that slips because that’s the one with the foot drop so it clicks like a tap shoe and slips like he’s on a skate. Once I explain the reasoning behind the shoe’s design, then they understand. His PT suggested he wear his AFO with the shoe so we were pleasantly surprised to see that the sole insert comes out. We would’ve had to go up a half size to be able to fit comfortably with the brace and the insert so we leave it out. We like the way they open up more than regular sneakers because he still has a lot of trouble getting his left toes to not be rolled under as he puts it on. Overall, we like them and they work.

Very beneficial shoes!

74 y.o. Man with primary progressive MS affecting left side.
My Cadense shoes helping my walking but I still suffer from drop foot.
Nevertheless the shoes help me move much better than I can without them. I still require a walker but just the act of standing and limited walking is great!

I have drop foot from back issues and I know these shoes have prevented me from the numerous falls I suffered prior to my purchase. I hope a dress shoe is developed so one day I can walk down the isle with my daughter.

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.
