My boys absolutely love theses shoes I recommend them for all kids.Billy shoes are the best in fit and quality.These are awesome for braces! My son can’t help with putting on his shoes by stiffening his ankle or toes, so this lets us set his foot on top of the insole, and zip it up around his foot!My daughter has orthopedic leg braces, so finding shoes to fit over them is hard! These fit the bill. They zip open so I can slip her foot and brace right into the shoe and zip them in. And she loves the colors. There are so many different colors and options to choose from. Highly recommend, especially for other parents of kids with leg braces.We discovered these shoes 3-4yrs back when our orthotics office mentioned them. Game changer! I used to dread when the Drs would ask to remove my sons socks & afo's for height and weight measurements. He usually would get upset by the random, unexpected request in his routine and would take a tad more effort becoming a hassle and annoyance. Once we started wearing BILLY Footwear it has made things much easier when we are faced with the task. Just zip,slip,and get weighed. :). They are the best & last shoe my son will wear & I will buy! Made very well. Love the fun styles! We always get compliments when out & am pretty sure my son will out number me in shoes pretty soon-he is up to 6 pairs to currently wear. Rarely do I do/have time for these reviews,but these ARE worth it!!My 4 year old has orthos for his feet and these shoes were so convient to get them on and off. I loves the colors and the convenience of the zipper. However, less than 2 months later and the zipper busted so they've become useless. I'm really bummed because they didn't last long and were pretty pricey (over $50) in my opinion. If it weren't for the zipper failing in such a short period of time, I'd give them 5 stars.I bought these for my daughter with special needs couldn't put regular shoes as she always curled her toes. This makes it so I can keep toes flat as I zip up her foot. They are nicely made this is our 3rd pair we just love them!!!Well constructed. Good fit. Attractive. Easy on/off with AFO's
