Customer Reviews BILLY Footwear Kids Classic D|R Low II (Little Kid/Big Kid)

The good: The extra wide shoe along with zipper allow for kids with orthotics to get a shoe that fits The bad: The sole comes apart within a couple weeks of use, requiring repair, sole replacement, or purchasing new shoes every couple weeks. This would be a solid 5 star of the soles were made to last as long as the rest of the shoe

I love everything about it but they are way too heavy for my son he's 4 years old and has low muscle tone so it's a bit difficult to get used to them other than that they are okay shoes!

It's been three weeks and these shoes have already started to fall apart. These shoes used to have high quality make, but it seems the quality of the material has gone down. The threads around the zipper come apart and the bottom of the shoe where the bottom rubber meets the white rubber is already coming apart at the front of the shoe. I am seriously considering changing where we get my son's shoes.

We absolutely love BILLY and have been buying shoes for a couple years now. That being said, the past two pairs have not lasted six months without the zipper breaking in the toe area. This pair we bought less than six months ago and they are already non the garbage. Toddlers are rough on their shoes. I wish they could reinforce the zipper a bit so we could get a little more use out of them.

I love Billy and the work they do but their shoes don't last long. The bottoms wear out so fast you'll probably have it for 3 months before needing to purchase again.

White sole separated from fabric upper after only 3 weeks of wear. In general, the zippers are of low quality. Stuck with purchasing these because they are the only ones that fit insert needed for shoe and child's sensory issues.

Have gotten 4 pairs of Billy shoes to fit my daughter's orthotic in over 2 years. They work great and look stylish but no pair lasts longer then few months. The zipper always comes off and the material scuffs off really easily.

We get Billy shoes all the time. These run at least a size bigger than all other billy shoes we've gotten in the past. Adorable but stuck w a pair that don't fit.

Very expensive took forever to ship and as you know kids feet grow fast these barely fit and zip up very disappointed in how lack of care and slow to get delivered they charge for shipping and the show but takes over one month to get here! Rip off! Can't believe it like the only choice for special needs people!

IF you can ever find the right fit, they are the best! My son has AFO's and it has been such a frustrating process finding ones that fit. I bought this pair because it was labeled the same way as the ones that work great for him. We were so disappointed when the toe area was much more narrow! Out of the 6 pairs we have bought now, only two worked for him. They were the exact same shoe in different sizes. I know they advertise them to work well with AFO's but for us it has been hard to find the right style. But the ones that do fit him are amazing and we are so thankful to have found something that works.

I ordered extra wide, but it was way too wide.

We bought these shoes for our toddler as he needs SMO braces. They give him great stability, but we are very disappointed that the shoes have already began to fall apart, only after about 2 weeks of wearing them. :( The zipper broke, holes near toes, etc.

My son has worn Billy High Tops in the past but these have left nasty sores on his ankles. Disappointed.

Zipper came off the 3rd time my son wore thw shoes

I have always loved Billy shoes, but we have had these shoes for 1 week and the sole is already peeling off. Third time wearing them. There seem to be some quality control issues as we had had at least 10 pairs of Billys and never seen this happen before.

These lasted about 2 months. Shoe came apart at the zipper, and the zipper broke.

Very disappointed. These are 3 weeks old and the sole is already coming off.

Takes wayyyy too long to get delivered. They say a certain amount of days but ends up being wayyyy longer.
