Billy Goat Classic
"First time AFO user. Fit was fantastic. Easy to get in and out of. I only wish the women's styles went up in width more. I would love to get the cuter styles."

The Women's Black/White BILLY Goat Classic High offers a custom fit with adjustable laces and a full wrap zipper. It features a durable triple-layered polyester lining and a custom-developed shoe last for added width and volume. The anatomical arch support and contoured heel cup aim to reduce pain and stabilize the foot. However, opinions on the zipper and soles vary among customers.

"My granddaughter had surgery on her right foot. After the cast was removed, she has to wear a brace for 3 months. We had to buy her a shoe to fit over the brace. She loves these shoes and they were also recommended by her surgeon."
"Living with Muscular Dystrophy and wearing full length, bi-lateral AFO's for 30+ years, these high tops add some ankle support to prevent my ankles turning out as I walk. The zippers remove the struggle of putting shoes on/off making these a must-have. As a fashion conscious woman, I really wish you would incorporate fun fabric patterns for adults like you do for kids - we like style, too! Only Grey and Black get boring and look old. In addition, ALL the soles of ALL your shoes should be slip resistant! None of the 6 pair of shoes I've bought from you are slip resistant, in wet conditions especially."
"I like the extra support they give my ankles with my AFO'S. I am very tough on my stuff, i use it, hard. I am still looking for a waker that will last me 2 years so I'm sure you can imagine how hard I am on shoes! The higher tops on this pair feel really good."
"I love the fit around my AFO! It is really nice to be able to walk properly again"
"Love these. Fit well with my afo brace. Fast shipping. Highly recommend."
"Love this shoes so much. I love that you are coming up w more styles! Keep em coming!"
"This brand of shoes was a great concept but definitely need improved! The zippers are impossible to zip. I have Charcot Marie tooth and weak in hands. That being said my husband even struggles with them! Need a metal zipper or improve these!! For the cost, I shouldn’t have to fight and spend 15 mins just fighting the zipper!! The soles are fine. Style is great and I think I need a double wide to fit better with my afo’s. I would love to see more styles and would love to see some leather options over the canvas/fabric."
"My daughter has needed to wear AFOs from 9 y/o to 11 y/o. The Billy shoe brand is the best we have found for ease/comfort getting them on and keeping them on, and the most durable that we have found. My only complaint is there are a lot of fun colors/patterns for younger children, but those same patterns are not available in adult sizes. Most kids wear adult sizes before middle school, and they want those fun patterns too!"
"Love the zipper and comfort."
