About Customer	BILLY Footwear was founded in 2015 by Billy Price and Darin Donaldson with the mission to create functional shoes based on the concept of Universal Design.

BILLY Footwear's unique design features unobstructed entry, allowing users to set their foot onto the shoebed and zip around the upper to secure it, making the shoes accessible for people with mobility challenges and more convenient for everyone. The company sells its products through multiple channels, including big-box retailers, marketplaces, and its own ecommerce store. Read More
