I needed a shoe that would fit over my 3 year old son's leg brace. His doctor recommended this brand to me, so I went for it. Received the shoes and they have been great...so far. Yes, you read that right, they were great until the zipper broke after 2.5 months. I can see if my son has been running all over the place, but the guy doesn't walk like that (hence the leg brace). When I say broken, I mean the zipper's teeth began to bend and break until the real zipper separated from the stitching.

I'm so happy I discovered Billy shoes. My son wears dentures and these are the only shoes that fit me. They are easy to put on and take off and wash well. If necessary, the inserts can also be removed. I had no problems with zippers and bought 2 pairs. You have a wide range of styles and colors to choose from. I'm just very happy that there is a company that serves people with differences.

I bought it for an afos baby. disappointed shoes did not fit. Your normal sneakers are the same size and fit well. It was too late to return when Christmas came. so blah :(

We love the show. It's so cute and not too chunky, which is important to me. My only concern is that the shoe doesn't have as much "compliance" so I'm not sure how the zipper will hold up. I had a week and so far so good. We were able to find more on the site itself and hopefully it's not as annoying as my little iN KAFOs.

This is the lightest shoe I have ever worn on my daughter who has been wearing AFO for 4 years now. I simply measured as per the chart and chose the size closest to my measurements. Fits perfectly! Will definitely order more!

At first they really liked it, but after 2.5 months the zipper broke. Got a refund and bought another pair and again the zippers broke after 2 months. I want to love them because they are so comfortable but unfortunately the quality is terrible. A $50 pair of shoes should last a lot longer.

They are so well made and the zipper slides so easily. My 5 year old daughter doesn't speak but danced, twirled and jumped while wearing these shoes; so she loved her. Plus, she can do it herself. Another do-it-yourself skill! She has autism and loves sensory input, so shoes MUST be of good quality. And these are wonderful. Many thanks to Billy Footwear for this thoughtful and compassionate design. We will buy more! . PS: Don't be fooled by the fake versions at Target, WM, etc. They're cheap…

My little friend has hypotension and related mobility issues. These shoes were a godsend. Because they open fully around the toe, they're easy to slip on over orthotics (or just slip on over busy, restless feet). The higher profile provides some ankle support even when wearing them without orthopedic insoles and they have proven to be good, durable and withstand all the abuse a toddler puts their shoes through on a regular basis. We plan to evaluate them further in the coming years.

My 3 year old lives in these shoes. From the color to the ease of dressing. I love the fact that I know her foot fits without feeling the toe. I will definitely be buying a few more!

I finally got cold feet and ordered them for my daughter. She is 16 months old and usually wears her SMOs in socks and barefoot around the house as she hardly goes anywhere. When she wears shoes, she either doesn't wear a tuxedo or she wears low-cut Converse, which look good. I saw this design and thought it was cute and will try it. They are beautiful, especially on the eve of winter.

My son wears these shoes with his SMO suspenders and we went up a size to match the suspenders. You are perfect! He's a size 7 but usually wears a size 6. Love the whole zipper construction, it's easy to get on and off.

My son has braces for walking. These shoes matched his suspenders perfectly. His braces last much longer. The zipper makes the morning smoother. IV bought 4 pairs of these.

I loved these shoes because it is difficult to fit our daughter's AFO into regular shoes (she is 3 years old and has bilateral clubfoot). But when we received them, we realized that they don't match AFO at all. They were barely wide enough to fit in, and then when we tried to fold the flap down to close it, it didn't reach far enough. It seems the AFO ankle strap made it too thick. We couldn't close it due to the 2-3 inch gap between the sides of the zipper. I was so excited about her and then…

Love don't have to worry about being too small: the zipper around the toes can see if the toes are at the end of the shoe before hurting your feet!

These shoes were recommended by my son's physical therapist to wear with orthotics and they fit perfectly! They're so easy to put on and take off, and its orthopedic insoles fit like a glove on the inside. Highly recommended!

Our son has suspenders up to his ankles. We ordered a size up and had to take out the insoles because of his wide feet, but I don't think we should have ordered a size up. We just let him grow into her! It's perfect when they close so I don't have to put his feet in any shoes while he's wearing them!

I got these for my special needs son who wears AFO and they are our favorites! Thank you for these shoes! Super stylish and works wonders. My son likes to wear them. Highly recommended!

My daughter is unable to walk due to overstretching and needs to SMO so Billy's shoes are a must for braces but as she still needs to crawl (after a month of use) the top center zippers are already torn from the fabric on both shoes . This is disappointing as it seems this shoe is mainly used for this type of stuff. I expected more durability. Bad quality for such a high price.

My grandson's first pair and I can honestly say we love them, we love how the sole can come out and how stretchy they are and I love their color.

I really like these shoes they are perfect for my daughter's day brace but the other shoe is a bit big for her other foot I hope she grows into one and the other still fits her brace leg but very cute and so easy to put on and shoot. You may need to buy two different sizes, but these are great shoes for children who were born with clubfoot/feet and need to wear an orthotic during the day.
