Embodying the principle of universal design, inclusive brand BILLY Footwear was founded in Seattle to help people with mobility impairments put on their own shoes. Each pair incorporates zippers that go along the side of the shoes and around the toe, allowing the upper of each shoe to open and fold over completely so the wearer can place their foot onto the shoe footbed unobstructed.
These are awesome. On line doesn’t do them justice. Leopard with a gold sheen, and so cute on my 7 year old who is as big as 9 to 10 year old. She loves them. Great purchase!

zipper broke
Loved these until the zipper broke <6 months of use. She only wore them a few days per week.

Good looking and comfortable
I picked these up for my son, who is on the spectrum. He can get them on and off easily. He likes that they look like tie shoes and his feet stay dry in the rain (not in puddles of course). He has wide feet and these still fit. The materials are good quality.

Great shoes for people with disabilities
It is very difficult to get shoes for my daughter. She does not walk and on a wheelchair but will still need good fitting shoes and easy to put on. I took her to Alderwood children’s dept and Dominic L helped me. He saw how difficult it was to fit her as she curls her toes when you put on shoes so he found the very shoes that I’ve been looking for for 40 years! He found me Billy shoes that zips around the front. Fits perfectly and my daughter loves it. I’ve been taking her to the other stores but only Dominic saw the need and found the great shoes for her. Thank you Dominic L. Next time I have to order another one, I’ll look for you. You are very kind.

Fantastic Adaptive BILLY shoes
I took my son to Nordstrom's to try on their unique BILLY shoes. He wears plastic foot braces and needs very particular shoes to fit on top of those. BILLY shoes unzip completely, so it's simple to put his foot right in the shoe with his AFO's on. We had a very pleasant experience with the staff as they fitted my son's foot and helped us find the right size. The shoes came in the mail only 4 days after ordering them in the store, and my son loves them. These are his first pair of shoes that he can really use; he can't walk unassisted, so having these fully supportive, adaptable shoes available for kids like my son is a huge blessing!

LOVE THEM
Best shoes I have brought for my daughter. She uses sure steps and we didn’t like the sure steps Sneakers we brought for her because they were so hard to get put on and they were hard. These were a lifesaver. She’s a size 9 and brought a 10 in these because of the brace and fit perfectly fine

great sneaker!
These are Great sneakers. I have a child with special needs who has difficulty with tying shoes and the zipper on these makes them extremely easy to slip on and off. They’re high quality and look great as well.

Glitzy shoes for my special daughter
Billy shoes are amazing shoes. The zipper opening allows a child or an adult to put on the shoes without a fuss in under a minute. My daughter has a wealth of special needs, and she has to wear AFOs to walk. I have struggled for years to find a shoe that fits over her AFOs without tugging and pulling and fighting to put on her shoes everyday. Then I found Billy shoes and life has changed so much for both of us.
The shoes fit true to size, and they easily adapted for special needs kids. Plus, Billy has expanded the fabrics and designs, so now my daughter's shoes are stylish. This year's the blue denim sparkle style shows the wear less and the sparkles are so fun. I am so grateful for the zipper design and that she can wear cute shoes like other children!

These are so wonderful for my daughter! She’s getting ankle braces soon and these will fit over them perfectly! Can’t wait to get more!
