Cadense shoes or..........

Posted by brotherchuckles80 @brotherchuckles80, Apr 14 4:16pm

I am researching shoes for balance issues due to my neuropathy and drop foot. I have read great reviews and then precautions because they will slide on wooden o tile floor. Anyone out there in neuropathy and drop foot land had any experience with Cadense shoes; good or bad?
Thank you,
Charles aka brotherchuckles80

I also have balance issues and have try many different types of sneakers. After spending hundreds of dollars experiencing the best sneakers for me were the Hoka Bondi 8. If you look at them you will see that they have a very large platform to walk on. The bottom platform is wider than your foot. I also experimented with different inserts to find the most comfortable combination. For the last two months I have been walking 2-3+ miles every day. I also use very soft socks and change them 2-3 times every day. I have also used NewBalance Fresh Foam X and have had success. I have 4E wide feet and need a larger toe box. Both those sneakers have that. I wear my sneakers all day and only take them off to shower and sleep.

Go check HODA. My podiatrist and neurologist suggested these shoes. Try on several to find the one that gives you what you need. They are expensive but you do whatever to get through your day.

I don't know what AFO is but HOKA shoes come in many sizes and many different width sizes. You need to go to the store and try on shoes until you find the best fit.

I'm also wondering whether Cadense has done well by people with neuropathy and foot drop. I'm thinking I might give them a try, as I believe they can be returned within 30 days. They were conceived at MIT by a mechanical engineering professor who now works just up the road from me at UC-Santa Barbara. The cost is high but if they work they payoff will worth it. Has anyone out there tried Cadense?

Hello, I am also considering Cadense shoes, however, they advertise for foot drop which I donot have.I have PN and balance issues, they do not address that. I am hoping somebody out there has had experience with these shoes. Best Wishes
