"These are the best sneakers yet! We have been buying Billy’s for years and they just keep getting better - durable yet also my kid still thinks the design is awesome. We need the extra wide and have to purchase two different size single shoes, but Billy makes it possible. Hands down Billy Footwear is the greatest."
"We use foot straps to teach my son how to hold his foot in place properly. Most shoes fly off him immediately. These stay on his feet without the straps. The extra wide size is a real blessing Billy offers in many shoe types. We also use stretchy rope laces that blend well with this shoe. LOVE BILLY!"
"My son (2) got his first round of AFO and SMO in November. Since then we went through 2 pairs of the classic billy"s that zip around the toe. We worked through two because the zipper would not hold up with the wear and tear. It would have been 3 pairs in 4 months if the zipper didn't break in one set on the right and the other set on the left, resulting in a 3rd missed matched pair. I noticed these higher, top of foot zipper and reinforced toe, praying this would be the answer. We purchased two right away, since they are the only shoes that meet my son's needs and we've had rough luck with the other style. These seem to be more durable, and the zipper takes on the stress. Plus, my oldest suggested his little bro has better "drip than he does with these shoes. . . " I am hoping they continue to hold up. My one suggestion would be no tie- laces for these younger ages. They don't use them and they are annoying to keep tied. I would encourage more elastic or adjustable laces that hold the size, rather than add more bulk."
"Love the zippers! Son wears an AFO on one leg so is hard to find a pair of shoes that actually fits-not 2 sizes to big to accommodate the AFO. The only thing on this style is it has more of the toe left on the top. . . have to angle his foot in. Learning curve on that but still great and he loves them!"
"These are great sneakers. They have worked really well with my daughter's AFOs."
"As a MS patient with drop foot all of my footwear matters. I love when fashion and function combine."
"Billy's Footwear is my go-to for my son's extra wide foot and he's able to get into them with ease and comfort"
"Very nice sneakers, perfect for spring and summer here in Switzerland! Light, confortable and fashion, my son is very happy with them!"
"My son absolutely loves his shoes. He has recently gotten another pair and I’m sure he will be getting some summer shoes soon also"
"Perfect sport shoes. Billy’s is really great about giving me different sizes since I have one leg that is braced and one that isn’t."
