About the Argyle Hook & Loop Medical Sheepskin Boot
The Argle Boot is designed to be fully opened, allowing the wearer or caretaker to easily put the boot on. With the wide hook & loop strap open, the upper part of the boot can be folded out, allowing maximum accessibility.
This particular Argyle v2 has a raised toe cap, which provides more room and relieves pressure on the toes. Suitable for those with swollen feet and toes.
Black Sheep Australia. Est 1975.
The Healthcare Range is the solution for those looking for easy access shoes made using Australian Medical-Grade Sheepskin.
Each pair is made using dense, curly "Spring-like" wool which significantly helps to relieve pressure on the wearer's foot, providing support and all day comfort.
With the benefit of genuine Australian Sheepskin, your feet will be able to maintain warmth, breathe well and stay dry.
All Black Sheep Healthcare range boots are fitted with a flexible, non-slip rubber sole which is suitable for both indoors and outdoor use.
The innersoles are removable and can be replaced with orthotics, or otherwise can be replaced with new sheepskin innersoles later on.

Here's what some podiatrists had to say about our Black Sheep Healthcare range:
"As a podiatrist, I’ve seen firsthand how Yellow Earth's Black Sheep footwear makes a world of difference for our patients. The lambswool lining provides unmatched comfort and helps regulate foot temperature, which is crucial for those with circulation issues. The extra width and depth of these shoes accommodate toe deformities like bunions and clawed toes, offering relief that standard footwear just can't provide."
And:
"Our patients love the Black Sheep footwear for its easy-to-use velcro straps. For those with limited dexterity, the large straps make it simple to secure the shoe without struggling. Plus, the firm, non-slip sole gives our patients the stability they need, reducing the risk of falls. It’s a perfect blend of safety and comfort."

The Argyle v2 fits one size small. You will need to get one that's one size larger than your typical size (so if you normally wear a women's size 8, you need to select W9), or refer to the feet length measurements in the size chart (link just above colour/size selections) to find the right fit.

Customer Reviews
However the sole is very heavy, unable to be worn by the frail, feeble or fatigue-footed....please change the sole to the standard EVA on most other uggs. Also they are true to size, not as suggested to purchase up one size...probably due to the extra width.....thanks for a potentially really awesome niche product .....Suzan D (retired podiatrist)
I received the sheepskin boots this week. They fit perfectly and keep my feet nice and warm. They are comfortable to wear and easy to walk in. Will definitely be buying another pair in the near future.
I was pleased with the ease of ordering and the quick time in delivery. The boots them self are a nice fit and good quality.
Husband’s feet were very swollen from fluid retention and we had trouble finding something for him to wear. These are perfect and comfy. And soft on his poor feet
Andrew was asked for a review, but I am Margaret, his wife and I am going to write our review as we both bought our “Argyles” which arrived a few days ago.
You say that Your business began about 30 years ago so I must have been a very early customer. My first husband was ailing and having mobility difficulties in the latter part of the nineties and I, as an Occupational Therapist was searching for some supportive, pressure relieving slippers that were easy for him to put on, I discovered Black Sheep footwear and found exactly what we needed. ( not Argyle, but slightly lower cut with Velcro closure?)
I very soon bought some for myself as well. We both wore them a lot and were pleased they were able to go outdoors too. A grandson took over John’s slippers after he died in late 2003 and wore them till he grew out of them. Mine kept going for some more years.
Some years later after remarrying I was thrilled to find they were still available so bought a pair for Andrew and a new pair for me. We have had many years of very constant wear from these, but we decided it was time for an even more supportive style - especially for me and my now painful feet and mobility problems. Thus our recent purchase of Argyles.
This style is brilliant. Comfort is superb, support from the higher cut is great, the wide opening and “Velcro “ closing makes putting them on so easy, and we both appreciate having new solid non slip soles.
Next week we have a Podiatrist appointment and I have already spoken to her about your range of products so we will be showing her our new purchases then. She sounds very interested. I hope this helps spread the word for your top quality small business and helps it grow for you. Congratulations on the products and the very pleasant service you provide, and on maintaining manufacturing in Australia and using such good quality Australian sheepskin! We need more folk like you.
Ps: I would love to send a photo of us lounging around in our brand new slippers, as we are doing now, but I have no idea how to do such a thing!
