Cadense shoes for balance issues: good or bad experiences?

No shoes on the market will help with balance unless the shoe manufacturers make them about 2 feet wide.

Thanks Bob. I knew that was coming, but there is always hope. My wife told me that if I purchase that show, I MUT still use my walker. I think that says it all. Thanks again Bob.

I don’t think any shoe can help with balance. It can help walking but balance problems comes within, need to find a way to restore the nerves. I have become confident wearing the shoe, that has a lot to do with it.

Hi Bob1946. Does your type of neuropathy affect your balance. I understand that the shoe will help me with the drop foot but the Company will not commit to saying that the shoe will help me with my neuropathic balance. Thank you for your reply. brotherchuckles80

I had a pair, they worked especially since I drug my feet with drop foot & nueropathy. I didn’t have no problem walking on wood floors in my house. They were a little pricey but comfortable.

Pardon me, allegheny, but I am in your situation also. I have put forward your question also but have not seen an answer. I do have a friend who has PN with drop foot and balance issues. I told him that he is my Guinea Pig; if they help him with his balance, I will probably purchased a pair. God bless you. brotherchuckles80

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

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?
