Customer Reviews BILLY Footwear Kids Classic Lace High (Little Kid/Big Kid)

Our son wear AFO's but we bought these for the days he doesn't wear them. He has different sized feet, which I love you can get two different sized shoes. I followed the measuring chart, but when we got the shoes, the right foot was way too small. It costs too much to ship back, so I had to order another bigger size in one shoe and hope it fits. We love the colour. We don't have a picture as the shoes have still not been shipped out.

Great shoes! They are so easy to put on/off, stay on all day and look cute. I just wish they were better quality and didn't "die" so quickly!

My son loves the sharks on these shoes. This is his 3rd pair. Whenever they start to wear out, he always wants the exact same shoes again. My only complaint is that they do tend to wear at his toes and heels quite badly. However, regardless of that, he wants them again and again.

I am really happy with these shoes as my first pair. The lightweight materials are helpful and the fit overall are great. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is that I wear AFOs and the outline of them are very defined when wearing this pair. But I seriously can't wait to get another pair when I can.

I like that these look like regular shoes and my son doesn't feel left out or like an outcast. He is so excited to show off his new shoes to everyone and happy he's able to wear shoes like everyone else! Just wish they offered more styles in the wide size option, as the choices are very slim.

My son is happy to be able to wear shoes like everyone else!

These are functional and great shoes. I was really hoping Billy Shoes was still offering the black high tops with glitter. They worked with everything and a little more feminine. These need to be paired with dressed down outfits.

My son has a brace on one foot and I love that we can buy different sizes to accommodate his needs.i also love the ease of zipping his shoes up Everytime!it makes life a little easier. These are our 4th pair of of Billy's in the past 2 years! I know they aren't specifically made for braces but they do get worn out very very fast with them. the inside gets ripped up from the Velcro, I've had some issues with the fabric coming away from the toes(see picture of blue/red) I just glued them to make it last for playtime. The insoles needed to be replaced from being worn down. I absolutely love the look of these! they are very classy and stylish. I also love that they come in such a variety that they can be used for playdates or church! Will be buying again.

I love the placement of the zipper, and that I can adjust the fit bbn of the places. My son just got his first pair of AFOs, and these shoes are perfect for them! Even when he isn't wearing his braces, these shoes offer so much support:blue_heart: My only complaint is that they don't sell half sizes. Excuse the commentary.

They fit my sons brace amazing. It makes it easy for him to independent in putting shoes on and taking off. The quality is great, although the last brace we had after about 6 months, the zipper gave out. But could be due to the way the brace fit in. I bought another pair for his next brace.

Good fit and versatile pair of shoes- works for casual or more dressed up

I love how these zip completely open. I can just insert my sons foot with his ankle braces on and then zip up. So convenient with a toddler! Love the style, we receive numerous compliments on them. The high top supports his ankle and hides his braces. Our previous ones were the WDR width in size 5, I ordered these in size 6 as the others were starting to get small. These seem to be only slightly bigger than the others, I wish I would've gone 2 sizes up.

I have a two year old with ankle braces and I waited way to long to make this purchase!! Soo much easier to put on my little man and it's so worth every cent!! Thank you Billy!!

These were for my grandson who had club feet, and the Dr has added day time braces. These fit the bill, I do wish there would have been some more fun styles in his size.

Have tried many different shoes for my sons afos. Heard about Billy's and wanted to try them. Was actually surprised on the fit and how easy they was to get on. They are alittle tight at first. Will be ordering another pair soon.

Love these for ease of use and they are super cute! If you are using AFOs I would suggest going up a size and removing the padded liner. I bought a size 12 after going by the measurement guide and they are snug. Thankfully my little ones feet don't grow fast so these will work for now.

My son registered for a private school for special kids and it arrived a tiny bit late in Canada for the back to school time, but the school liked how it is a very suiting fit to the uniform standard. I am glad you have this version so my son who have feet orthotics still looks like the other kids. :) Thank you for existing, theses shoes really helps our family in everyday life! < 3

Love the style of shoe for SMOs just wish the zippers were more durable.

As an early childhood special education teacher with many students who wear SMO's and AFO's as well as a parent with a child who wears AFO's these shoes are great. My son has three to four lifts under his heals and the high shoe makes it easier for him to keep his shoes on! The one criticism I have on these well made shoes is the zipper pull! The small metal ring to pull the zipper seem like it will pull right off. It seems like there is something more durable on a nicely constructed shoe to pull up a zipper!

Over all I think they're wonderfully. I believe I got her medium width and the zipper is super close if not rubs on her pinky toe on one side. Also I thought the shoe strings were just for show but they're real, useable, shoe stings. Which I don't like cuz we have a problem with my daughter untying shoes. Other then those two things, they're wonderful. Less clunky then the shoes we got with her afosz and lighter weight.

We recently bought the Kid's Jersey Classic Lace High for our special needs, 9 year old granddaughter &; they have been very good so far. She was constantly kicking off her old shoes but with the Classic Lace Highs there's only been 1 occasion of a shoe coming off. The zipper &; rubber sole on the shoes appear to be of good quality. Since the sole itself is a rubber with recycled fabric portions, we will be curious to see how well they will wear over time. But best of all, we have FINALLY found Billy's - a company that offers footwear that is SO much easier to get on &; off.

Love this brand. It's so hard to find a good quality shoe that fits my daughter's Braces and we love that it makes everything easier with a large zipper and opening. This is her second pair.

Amazing concept for special needs. Simple easy wear

We have bought five pairs of Billy shoes for my grand daughter. Although they are great because of the zippers, three of the five pairs have come apart at the zippers after only a few months.

Too narrow sadly and cant return was on sale so had to buy 2 more pairs hoping these work
