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

We had a great experience with Billy Footwear! Customer service was prompt, friendly, and accurate. The shoes fit just as we thought they would and allow for our son's brace. We usually live in France and I wish Billy FW had a distributor here! We tell everyone about them! Thank you, Billy Footwear!

These are the best shoes for my 8yr old with Down syndrome. He has inserts for his feet and these shoes fit great with them in. He can put them on and off himself. They are just wonderful!!

I bought these for my daughter at the recommendation of her orthotist. The zip top makes them so easy to get on and off with AFO braces on. Previously we never considered high top shoes for her because they were too hard to get on over AFOs, but with the zip, she can finally wear high tops which is so helpful since she can't kick them off like she does with regular shoes. These shoes are so high-quality, too. We've had them for close to a year and my daughter wears them every single day to school, and they are still as good as new. The zippers are so strong and have held up perfectly to the strain we have put on them over so much repeated use. I would recommend these shoes to anyone who uses AFOs!

My 9, 7, and 5 year olds all have billy shoes and love how easy they are to get on and off. The soles are surprisingly cushioned for comfort and the strings allow adjustability for depth which works awesome for my kids who all have orthotics. Ordering another pair for each!

These shoes are awesome but unfortunately not the right fit for us. We are devastated because we soooo wanted them to fit. Need a higher toe box.

Physical therapy told me about these shoes. After checking them out getting my daughter her first pair. I have to say these Billy shoes are spectacular. Then I bought a second pair. My daughter enjoys them. To the company and the ones who build the shoes...Keep up the great work.

We had trouble finding the right size d/t braces. Had to send 2 pair back, was such an easy process. I even got an email that said he would be happy to help me find the right size. We got the right pair and love them!! Great job!!

My daughter is now 12 and has worn an AFO since she was almost 2. For years we have jammed that brace into Mary Jane's and sneakers but they were always somewhat ill-fitting or we had to buy two pairs because the foot with the AFO on it always needs a bigger size to get it into the shoe. Boots and high tops were out of the question because the AFO can't round the corner from the tall part of the shoe into the foot part. After spending months searching for boots that would fit, her orthotist suggested Billy Footwear and our lives changed! Now she has cute options other than low sneakers. These high tops are adorable. My only suggestion would be for the company to allow ordering two different sizes for right and left. The non-AFO foot has some extra room in it so we'll be ordering a second pair. But at these prices I don't mind too much.

I purchased these shoe for my toddler son who had been fitted with an AFO. These shoes make it possible to have an almost true size as there is no worries for the instep. However not long after he started wearing the the seam/ zipper came undone. I wrote a quick email just to see if there was somewhere here in Canada we could have them repaired. The agent I was dealing with was quick to return messages and very quick with a solution. Billy sent us a new pair of shoes with the gel on them so they would hold up to a toddler in a brace. I am beyond pleased with the shoes, the company and most importantly the agent that helped us out. Wouldn't hesitate to purchase another pair in the future. Thank you Billy for helping this mom make life a little easier for her boys.

My son has Left side weakness because of hemiplegic cerebral palsy. These shoes have helped him to become more independent because it is way easier to put them on then other shoes. He also loves the style, color and comfort that the shoes provide. These are great!

These shoes are absolutely amazing for my son who has Cerebral Palsy as they are so easy to slip on over AFO's and the zippers also allow him to be more independent with taking his shoes on/off as he is unable to do up laces. They also look fantastic!

Brought these for my 5yr old. Putting shoes on him is difficult. Being that he's special needs and non mobile. These sneakers are super easy to put on &; comfortable on his feet. He loves them and so do I.

Great shoes for my Grandson and his braces. He likes being able to have shoes like the other kids.

These lace high shoes are outstanding. My granddaughter wears a brace on her left foot, and being able to zip these shoes on with great ease has helped tremendously. This is the third pair we have bought, and we will continue to buy them as she grows. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend these shoes to anyone who has a little one with AFO/other braces! They are so convenient and easy for them to zip or help at least! Also very stylish. :blush:

Bought these for my 9 y/o son with autism. Super pickey with sensory issues. He absolutely loves these shoes! Super comfortable and super easy to get on and off. Superb design! Very stylish-get lots of people asking where I bought these! Will buy again! Would highly recommend Billy shoes!

These shoes are a God Sent to us or anyone that wears AFOs. We were excited when they made the smaller shoes and will always purchase them. Only thing with some of the threads right below the tongue are coming loose but still love these shoes.

Fantastic delivery time. My son can put them on and take of with easy. Physio commented on how well he can walk in them. Have been recommending

My son has foot braces and these shoes have made our lives so much easier every morning when getting him dressed! His physical therapist and school PT have all seen these and recommended them to other families. They fit perfectly, hold his feet securely and we will definitely be buying more.

Easy to zip off and on. Had to return the first pair and buy larger size. Followed the measuring instructions, still too small. Am using on non weight bearing person, so maybe that's why the measurement guide was 2 sizes too small? Fast return! Really like these shoes

Another's great purchase for my daughter that wears afo's!

I finally don't have to spend 30 mins trying to get shoes over my sons smos it's made life so much easier and one less thing to stress up. They are very sturdy and durable
