FAQs
Where was CDNCE born and bred?
Huntington Beach, CA
What inspired CDNCE Shoes to be created?
We were cramming in sunrise surfs before work one cold winter and didn’t have time to shower or rinse our feet before jamming our wet, sandy, salty feet into our shoes to head into work. Our shoes were getting ruined and we realized shoes should be built differently so that they could withstand the abuse we were giving them.
Should I size up or down my CDNCE Shoes?
CDNCE Shoes are true to size and we only offer whole sizes. If you’re typically a half size, buy one size up. No need for them to be too tight – relax a little.
Can I wear my CDNCE Shoes without socks?
Hell yeah. Free ball those feet.
How do I wash my CDNCE Shoes?
Hose them down, rinse them out, dry them off lightly with a towel inside and out and let the sun shine and wind blow. In average conditions if you rinse your shoes at night before bed and lightly dry with a towel, they’re dry and good to go for the next day’s adventures.
What if my shoes get stains on them?
Rinse them off and scrub lightly with a mild soap and rinse them off with water. Ultimately, a couple of stains are a badge of honor and show that you like to have fun.
Are CDNCE Shoes unisex?
CDNCE Shoes are currently marketed towards men, but we hope badass women rock the shoes too.
Do you offer free shipping?
Normal ground shipping is free and there is a charge for expedited shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best travel sneakers for hot weather and tropical destinations?
The best travel sneakers for hot, humid climates are breathable, quick-drying, and built to move. That’s exactly why we created The FRQNT Flyers — CDNCE’s signature shoe. They’re vented, lightweight, and made with rinseable materials so they stay fresh no matter where you’re headed — from Tulum to Bali and everywhere in between.
Are there sneakers you can wear to the beach or on a boat?
Most sneakers fall apart in wet, salty environments. The FRQNT Flyers are different. They’re water-friendly, designed to drain quickly, dry fast, and grip well on slick surfaces. Perfect for sand, docks, boat decks, and spontaneous swims.
What are the easiest sneakers to clean after travel?
Shoes that trap moisture and grime are a nightmare. CDNCE sneakers are built to be rinsed, wiped, or even machine-washed. The materials are fast-drying and designed to keep their shape — so you can clean them and keep moving.
What shoes are best for tropical travel and beach towns?
You want something unrestrictive, breathable, and durable — but still versatile enough to wear into town. The FRQNT Flyers were designed specifically for coastal life. Lightweight, quick-drying, and stylish, they transition from sand to street without missing a step.
Can sneakers be both breathable and water-friendly?
They can — if they’re built that way. CDNCE shoes use a vented midsole system and mesh upper to allow water and air to pass through, making them ideal for travel in hot, humid, or wet environments.
What makes a good all-around vacation shoe?
Versatility. You want one shoe that’s comfortable, light, packable, and durable. CDNCE sneakers were made to be that one pair — whether you’re beach-hopping in Ibiza or exploring Cartagena. They rinse off, dry fast, and look good everywhere.
Are there sneakers designed for coastal lifestyles?
Yes — and CDNCE is one of the only brands focused entirely on that lane. We build sneakers specifically for warm-weather, water-adjacent, movement-filled lives. No gimmicks — just breathable, water-friendly sneakers that actually hold up to your lifestyle.
