Reviews
Final sale is heartbreaking, these are that great
"I have bilateral club foot and these are the only boots I’ve been able to wear my entire life of 27 years. My feet are tiny and wide. I wear a size 5 in big kids and I bought every pair available in my size in every color so I wouldn’t have to do without. I truly wish I could have bought a bunch of black pairs while they were in stock!! 20/10 recommend Billy’s footwear!"

The boots looked great but
"The boots looked great but they didn’t fit my daughter’s AFOs even though she wears the same size in street shoes. Oh well! We returned them which was a very easy process."
— Joshua K. (4/5)
Good idea, not great.
"These don't open as wide as I need them to for my toddler to fit his sure steps since he can't bend at the ankle."
— Vee (3/5)
Does not fit
"Desperate for a nice winter/rain boot for my son (4) but these did not work at all. I bought them on sale and therefore cannot return them. Although I bought them a size up from what we typically purchase, they do not fit his foot. Note that the zipper does not zip fully around the sole as other Billy shoes do, and his foot would not fit. He could not walk with them. Disappointed."
— Ashley (1/5)
Don't fit SMOs
"I measured my child's feet with SMOs on and ordered a size up based on the provided size chart. There was no chance of getting his feet in the boots. He can fit them without SMOs, but that defeats the entire purpose. Unfortunately I bought these on final sale and can't exchange for a bigger size."
— Kate (3/5)
Didn’t work with brace
"The zippers don’t open the foot of the shoe enough to fit my son’s brace in. So it’s impossible to use. So frustrating, because these shoes are meant to for that."
— Bailey (2/5)
I wanted to love them but...
"Really nice boots, but the other reviews were right. They are too narrow to incorporate my son's AFO... Which was the entire reason I purchased them. If they were wider or adjustable at the ankle and the zipper went down around the toe like other Billy shoes they would be perfect."
— Af O. (3/5)
These do NOT fit AFO braces
"Cute but DO NOT fit AFO braces. We cannot get my child’s foot in these boots with his AFOs, which is the only reason we bought them. And they cannot be returned because they are a “final sale” product. Please be more transparent with your boots."
— Chelsey (2/5)
Best fit for SMO’s and AFO’s.
"So far so good. The only shoes that fit my son’s brace."
— Brieana (5/5)
His new favorite booys
"I love the double sided zippers helping my grandsons feet to slide in effortlessly! These have quickly become his new favorite boots!"
— Lolli A. (5/5)
Q&A
- Will the rain boots go over the billy shoes sneakers? My great grandson goes to a medical day care and it rains frequently. His braces and sneakers get wet if I don’t cover them with a plaster bag.
- Great question! The rain boots are intended to go over the foot, not foot and then shoes. There is a brand out there that does go directly over the shoes. The brand is called Butler Boots (https://thebutlerbrand.com/). Hope that helps :)
