BILLY Classic DR High II (Toddler)

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.

These are perfect for my little grandson. So easy to get his little fat feet into the 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.

These shoes work so well with my son's AFOs. So glad we found out about Billy shoes- finding shoes is not a struggle anymore.

Zipper detached within 5 wears

Horrible. I bought these because of the zipper feature. So easy to put on and take off. However, the fabric around the zipper ripped after about two weeks. I do not recommend these.

The zipper broke after very limited use.

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.

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

I absolutely love them & adore them, ~however~ not nearly as much as I had hoped I would. I'm a little bummed out. I waited a month to review just to be sure of things. Pros: ---They look really cool and pretty, the photos on the website don't do them any justice. ---Super easy to get on & off. Makes putting on shoes less of a struggle to do and less painful for my hands. Cons: ---Entierly flat bottom on the inside. In turn, there's absolutely zero arch support at all. I'll need to get inserts when I can afford to for any sort of wear over a couple hours. Otherwise the bottom of my feet start to ache. ---Around the ankle is incredibly stiff (moreso than any other shoes ive ever gotten) & even after a month of daily wear there is no change. No matter how tight or loose they are, after just a little walking (less than an hour) they are pressing into the back of my ankles. That's causing lots of pain & lingering tenderness. Overall I may buy again, but a different style for sure. That is when I see a different style one I would actually wear on the site anyway
