In this episode of Shoe Eating Monster, I dive into a unique and much-needed innovation in the footwear world: Cadence Adaptive Shoes, designed specifically for individuals with foot drop and mobility challenges.

I break down my experience with the shoes—what they do very well, and what you might want to consider before lacing them up. Spoiler: they are LOUD and super slippery at first, but with a little time to adjust, they could be a game-changer for those who need support and adaptability in every step.

At $200, they’re an investment, but the functionality is there. Plus, you can take 10% off with the code JULIANNA10 at checkout.

🎧 Tune in for my honest take on:

• Fit, feel, and who these shoes are for

• First impressions vs. after a week of wear

• The balance between function, comfort, and cost
