I really do love these shoes as my son wears AFOs and it is a good option. Some feedback to consider for why I gave this product a 3 is because there are some improvement that can be made. A lot of kids with medical conditions that affect their gait buy this product. With that in mind the rubber on the bottom of the shoe could be stronger material. My son will wear down the front due to his gait within a couple of months. Sometimes the zippers on the shoes will also fail before he has out grown the shoe do due rubbing from his gait. A material to give this product strength on the front of the shoe would help so much. Otherwise I love this shoe as it makes it easy to put on with his AFOs.

Comfy, but if you drag your toes you will rip the sole off really quick. Me 3 days and I need a new sole. Cheaply made

We bought these shoes for our son who wears SMOs. These are not the first pair of Billy shoes that he has had over the years but this is the first pair in which the zipper has broken within 2 months of wearing. It is disappointing as they normally last us about a six months to a year before we need to order new ones due to foot growth or normal wear and tear. This is also the first time we got the extra wide width to accommodate the smos, i don't know if that is part of the problem. I still recommend these shoes for those with SMOs, or DAFOs as they are great shoes, however i hope that these zipper issues will be addressed and fixed as they are not cheap shoes.

I have bought several pairs of these because I love how they fit my daughter's AFOs. These are the only pair of shoes that she can put on herself and that I don't have to spend 15 minutes helping her with a shoe horn and having her push and push to get her shoes on. I took away one star because of the premature zipper failure. I ended up buying 2 more pairs because I these are the only shoes that fit around her AFO. I am hoping that the company can work on making the zipper more durable. The previous pairs were in good shape; it was just the zipper that broke.

These shoes are the only ones we can find that fit around our son's bulky orthotics (AFO and PFO) and are easy to get on and off. However, the zippers are very poor quality and often separate at the toe area. They rarely last more than a couple of months and this pair only lasted three weeks before the zipper became completely detached.

I bought these because my autistic grandson has xwide feet, and he has trouble putting on shoes, so the zipper is an awesome feature. I did find though for the first time, that a shoe is actually too wide. So if your child is not wearing AFOs, I would make sure you measure properly and size the width accordingly. I truly believe he could fit in a regular wide since he does not have AFOs.
I'd also recommend:

This is actually our 7 year old grandson's second pair of Billy's because he finally outgrew his size 13.0 (W). However when we tried these on much to our surprise the size 1 (W) were much too wide for his feet. We've already ordered and received a size 1 (M) that fit him perfectly. We're left to assume going up a size caused them to be much wider than we anticipated. Since he's on the spectrum putting these on and off is like a breath of fresh air so we can only assume he's going to be wearing Billy's for as long as they're available in his size!

These are great shoes and a phenomenal company. We love the patterns offered, but sometimes you just need a classic navy blue.

A great shoe for use with orthotics. The zipper makes it easy to put on and take off. The ability to adjust the laces to accommodate the braces is absolutely perfect. A well made sturdy construction. I strongly recommend this shoe.

Very comfortable. I have to buy split sizes, as my shoes sizes are different plus I don't have by 2 pairs. Billy is willing to provide split sizes as regular one pair.

I don't know if BILLY Footwear knew what they were doing when they did this but their newest high top has a notch at the heel. This makes them perfect for articulating AFO's because the screws won't rip holes in the lining .

I'm so happy that Billy exists! As a mom to a special boy who wears AFOs the only shoes that fit him are Billy's. I appreciate a company that thinks of all sizes!
