Finding shoes to be able to fit around AFOs is a really hard task. Finding shoes that are stylish and lets my son feel included with the kids around him is even harder! Zipped Brands was able to help in both of those ways!! They are so well made and the zipper quality is very durable. The communication and responsiveness to your messages is unmatched!! Thank you so much!!
The ability to fit my daughter’s AFOs in them while still being able to wear some of our favorite brands is amazing!! I can’t wait to continue using Zipped Brands for all our orthotic friendly shoe purchases! I highly recommend this company. The quality of the shoes and the care put into them to adapt them definitely sets them apart from other brands. The team was also an added bonus as their communication and support was always quick and thorough. Amazing brand, amazing team and amazing shoes
I came across this brand not long after my cousin suffered a TBI. I entered a contest for him to get a pair of shoes and won! Their communication and kindness has been top tier as is the quality of their product. It’s so nice for him to have something inclusive and able to do independently.
What an amazing opportunity for my mom. She had her ankle fused and a rod put in her leg so she has no movement in he leg below the knee which makes putting any shoes on complicated. She’s had one pair of flimsy shoes for 7 years becuase she can’t find anything else.
She is a bit concerned about the vinyl zipper lasting but right now we are trying to just enjoy the freedom of wearing a nice looking shoe for the first time in almost 20 years.
Since this review too the company has reached out to stand behind their quality and reassure me they will be there to help should anything happen. They are confident, so I am too.
Thanks zippered brands
We are very confident💪 PLEASE reach out if there is ever an issue with the zipper! Thank you, Krystal! Tell mom much love from Zipped Brands
This is the first shoe brand that we have found that’s stylish and functional with orthotics! We are so excited for our kiddo to get to wear his new shoes! 😊 We were so excited to win these shoes in a giveaway. Forever grateful. Communication was great as well- they're very helpful when deciding on shoes!
These are wonderful shoes! Great quality and craftsmanship. I look forward to having an easier time getting shoes on and off. Thank you!
Highly recommend Zipped Brands! Their team was easy to work with, and their customer service was great! We’re excited to go to Portland next week and have the opportunity to take some photos on the Nike campus and show off Cash‘s custom shoes to some friends of ours who work there!
Thanks again!
So glad to have a stylish adaptive shoe for my daughter! Zipped brands will be the only shoes we purchase from now on!
Super easy to get on and are very comfortable when wearing. I can’t wait to see what other brands Arron collabs with
My daughter had sciatic nerve damage and can’t feel from the knee down. Due to the numbness in her right foot, she couldn’t wear 2 of the same shoe. She couldn’t tell if her toes were straight or curled under. But with Zipped Brand Shoes, my baby can wear 2 of the same shoes and they are Nike!!! This makes Mama so happy ❤️🥰. Thank you Zipped Brands for giving so many people hope!
these sneakers are great for 'unconventional ' feet like mine! They fit perfectly and maintain the original aesthetic of the shoe. The zippers are well done and not super visible! So refreshing to find shoes that I can wear right out of the box!
I absolutely love that they are a popular brand of shoes that I can also FINALLY partake in without compromising accessibility. They take me 10 seconds to put on independently- big emphasis on that point. I love the pull tab on the zipper. It makes it extremely easy for me to open and close them.
I am so happy with my shoes! They are 100% the easiest shoes to put on/take off that I've ever tried--while it typically takes me 2-3 minutes to put on each of my shoes, my carers are able to put my Zipped Air Forces on in like 10 seconds! They are comfortable and I am able to wear thick socks with them too, which is usually a struggle as the extra thickness would make it painful to get my foot in the right place. You can barely tell that they are adapted, which is my favourite part. I've been wearing them everywhere, with every outfit!!
One very small note: my particular feet contractures end up pushing my ankle joint inwards, which has sometimes made it the tiniest bit trickier to zip up my left shoe, as once the zipper reaches the last ~inch, it rubs against my foot and sometimes catches my sock/skin. This has been very manageable for me, by my carers just lifting/turning my foot slightly while zipping it up, but I think it'd be important to assess your own feet to ensure this wouldn't cause discomfort if your ankle joints stick out far one way or the other. I wonder if in the future, Zipped Brands might consider offering the option to have the zippers go on the opposite side of the shoes so that this wouldn't prevent anyone from finding the shoes useful and comfortable. I think this extra degree of customization would make the shoes work for every possible customer, because the concept of the shoes is FABULOUS and very well executed!
Thank you so much for your review and feedback! You have just inspired us to offer this as an option - we think having the option to choose which side you want the zipper placed is a fantastic idea! Our reasoning for having the zipper placed on the interior side of the foot was because we want the zipper to be as hidden as possible for aesthetic reasons, but we do love the idea of having the zipper placement be a customizable option. Thank you!

My son wears afo's and we've always wanted to get him mainstream shoes but Billy's was all we could find until now. Thank you
They look so good! it's hard to notice that they have been adapted.
