I’ve frequently heard that Billy shoes can work with most standard AFOS (ankle foot orthosis). This is a common belief, however, on the website story, it’s clearly stated that while created by a man with spinal cord injury to provide inclusive options, and common belief that they accommodate AFOS, they aren’t designed with AFOS in mind and might fit but also might not.They have such adorable designs for growing kids which I suspect is easier for generalized marketing given zipper shoes are likely a great option for elementary aged kids. They can fit adults with smaller shoe size too.It’s very hard to find anything beyond a sport sneaker that can accommodate SMOS/AFOS. Some buy a size up and they do offer half sizes but they don’t do extra wide or narrow ranges.I found these on sale so jumped for the opportunity. I asked in the question area about any adult AFO experiences and got a positive response. (See questions section).They are very well made, comfortable and have various shoe types and designs. Most here are kids designs and this is true on the Billy’s store website, however, they have a larger adult range than here.Unfortunately, they weren’t even close to fitting my AFOS. I was definitely disappointed.I know of 1 child and 1 adult who use these shoes with AFOS and love them. Both order one full size up, although the adult could fit the teen shoes!Although I can’t be sure about my conjecture, I noticed both of these people are very long and slender. I’m neither lol. I have curvy body and legs. I also have over pronation and the AFOS help to counter that, however, my AFOS are wider within normal limits.Still, they were even close to fitting!! I put one in by itself And the Velcro strap from bottom of the AFOS also took extra space. I loosened the shoestrings which are the nicer kind, as much as possible. Then I attempted to zip the shoe which took more strength than I expected. I have juvenile idiopathic arthritis since early childhood and my hand tendons are always inflamed and I have ligament laxity (low degree of hypermobility) in hands too. I have near average hand strength, but i couldn’t pull that zipper beyond 1.5in!! And this was while holding 1 shoe with a AFO in it. I wish I had taken a picture of this but I think that I was so disappointed that I didn’t bother :(I did add some pics of My AFOS for general idea and in my size 10.5 NB brand known to accompany average wide and have removable sole to help with foot inserts anyone may wear as well as custom insets, SMOS & AFOS. I’m sure they accommodate prosthetics too.In the Billy’s, I was able to buy a 10.5 only due to limited stock on sale. I wanted the 11 size, however, based on what I experienced with the AFOS without my legs in was enough to know the 11 wouldn’t have made a difference.Without the AFOs, they fit fine and very comfortable but I still couldn’t pull the zipper closed. The zipper isn’t tiny nor extra large. I thought If they had worked for my braces, I would use a large/strong keyring that wouldn’t get in the way. I’ve used these rings frequently on backpack and zip up jackets too. Very helpful and cheap!!I returned the shoes bc I didn’t want to keep another pair of shoes that only work without my AFOS, especially because I should be wearing them daily.They are a nice quality and supportive.I never do reviews but these shoes are great and super easy for my son to use with his braces! Such a genius idea!!! My son loves them and they are super comfortable!! I highly recommend them!!Great for AFO’s. Wide shoe with easy on and off zipper.Product is greatShoes were true to size. Customer service was quick to respond for issue with zipper.Squeak squeaker squeak squeakityOther than being squeaky, they fit my son's feet with his AFOs. Normally I wouldn't keep shoes that are the squeaky, but these are the only ones we could find that would fit with his braces. So, in this case, I'm okay with it.Product works as advertised. Worth every penny if you have injured your feet.My fiancé loves these!! He has a VERY wide foot. At first we were worried the shoes wouldn't work, and I had ordered the Wide size. Quick solution - we widened up the laces as far as possible and they worked perfectly. Not sure why we didn't think of that immediately! He's mentioned several times how comfortable they are.
