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 am thankful to God that you are alive. I pray for you strength and patience in recovery from this cataclismic event. On a lighter note,the shoes are helping my friend with drop foot but not balance. Of course, the Cadence do not claim that. There is simply no cure for this didorder. God bless you and family.

I am a 68 year old male and have had MS for 23 years. As my MS has progressed, I have increasing difficulty lifting my legs when I walk, hence I shuffle or swing my legs when I walk. The Cadence shoes seemed perfect for me. After a week of use, I encourage similarly situated people to try them. They make walking much easier. I fall with some regularity and worried that I could not get back up if I wore these shoes. With some care, you can get up wearing these shoes. The training videos that the company sends to you are quite helpful. Progressive MS is a grim condition; there is not much in the way of effective drugs and aides for folks with MS. I want to limit wheelchair/scooter use as much as possible. These shoes will help and they look pretty good too.

I tried the Cadense shoes for foot drop and they didn't seem to work for me. I have peripheral neuropathy from chemo that I had 10 years ago. I feel for me I need to be able to feel my feet. Sometimes, I have no idea where my feet are and am constantly looking where I will be walking. The shoes that have a lot of padding and memory foam do not help at all. They seem so comfortable but just make walking worse. Barefoot shoes seem to work best for me.
