The width is good. Bernadette finds her new wide fit shoes very comfortable. The look good. The shipping time to Ireland was quick.

So far so good! They are attractive and color is as advertised. My 6 yo kiddo hasn't worn them yet with his AFOs, but he likes the look of them and I like how functional they appear. Going to buy another pair at his request!

These shoes are great. My son has been wearing the billy shoes the past 2 years straight. They open really wide and zip over his orthodics so nicely.
The new WDR model is extra strong inside and are holding up great. The zipper has been jamming often tho

I wish the WDR hightop were available in adult sizes so that I can wear them with my braces, but in general, I really like these shoes. My foot is a little too wide due to muscle isses (thanks cerebral palsy) so I can't get them completely closed, but it's close enough.

Love the concept of these shoes and that wides are finally available. Can't wait for wides to be available with cool designs. It's still a tad hard to zip with my sons style of brace but its definitely a step in the right direction. I hope extra wides, shoes with better grips and snow boots will be on the horizon :)

They are already starting to fray. They are comfortable and easy to wear but not durable.

Our daughter was gifted a pair years ago and love Billy! So when the sale came along we were excited.
I knew all sales were final so I felt like I was being extremely picky on the measuring and following the chart. But somehow we still got the wrong sizing, ugh!. It is almost one-two inches in length big on her. And now she can't wear them. We are so disappointed.

These shoes are wonderful and practical. We will buy our third pair soon but you have to be very careful with the zipper. This is the second zipper to break on us. Our child has special leg braces and they work fantastic with those.

Not durable. These are good looking shoes. I love the fact that you can order two sizes. The only issue that I have are that they aren't durable. My 8 year old son runs alot at school and needs shoes that arent going to tear easily. I buy shoes at least every month. I love the shoes. I just wished they would last longer.

Absolutely love these for my sons AFO braces but the durability needs to be better. He's only worn them for 3 weeks and the front sole is coming apart. It's heartbreaking that these are so expensive for such a short wear time frame. We've bought some many pairs of Billy shoes and they all do the same thing at the front sole, come apart.

These shoes are amazing to use with my daughter's SMOs. Life-changing! I'm giving this 3 stars bc it's the second pair we've had where the stitching has started coming out one week after using. A little disappointing...

I'm torn on these. I wanted to love them however, I've had issues. We are new to AFO life. I was excited to find shoes that fit my son's AFOs but they don't fit articulating AFOs at all. We couldn't tie them completely and the sole peeled back from the bottom of the shoe within a month of ordering them. We aren't even to a point in our AFO journey where my sons wears them all day. So just a few hours a day and they have fallen apart. I ordered a second pair (he can't wear the first pair anymore) in hopes that the low top fits the articulating AFO and they won't fall apart. If this doesn't work I may need to try a different company.

These are great shoes to go over foot/ankle orthotics. They are easy for my son to get on and off on his own. However, I'm only giving 3 stars becasue they wear out quickly! We got our first pair in August and the sole is so worn that it actually has holes, so we are buying a new pair now in October.

Billy shoes are super cute and are really the only shoes we can get on my son's feet with his AFO's. The reason I'm only giving 3 stars is because we have to replace them quite regularly. We've had a zipper break not too long after purchasing and the sides break down after a bit of use due to the AFO. Thankfully they're affordable.

They were much longer than we expected, so be conservative on the size when ordering. But they are super cute and she loves the style.

These are pretty standard Billy's and the zipper on the toe frays off from the rest of shoe making it harder to zip up and then we have a hole at the toe. Otherwise they are great for about three months. I have found this to happen to pretty much all the shoes we have purchased. My son is in standard AFOs and is walking in them.

Purchased for AFOs but they don't zip up all the way. I got the extra extra wide 2 sizes bigger than my son's normal shoe size and they fit in the shoe nicely but they're not wide enough at the top. They also have a flat sole with no lift in the heels which also wouldn't work for my son. I have purchased several Billy's in the past for use without AFOs and they work great but disappointed with these for AFOs.

These shoes formed holes on the toe in less than two weeks. My son is special needs with cerebral palsy and drags his toes. Once there was a hole, the zipper was busted. I have been through 3 pairs of these shoes and they lasted 6 weeks combined. They shoes work great for my son but they don't last. I recently discovered that Billy has another style with the zipper farther up the shoe and I am hoping they last longer. I wish they would make a rubber reinforced toe. If they did these shoes would be the best. Customer service is greatshoes just need to be more durable.
