The Cadence EX was designed for those looking for contoured semi-rigid support with exceptional shock absorbing comfort in the heel and forefoot.   The EX has an upgraded smooth low friction CoolMax® top cover and a stiffer shell when compared to the Original Orange and Low Volume models.  The Foam is 7mm thick under the heel and ball of the foot before tapering to 5mm at the toes. The EX helps alleviate and prevent common injuries such as plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, shin splints, iliotibial band syndrome, achilles tendonitis and other conditions of the foot, knee, and hip.
