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."

Sizing & Fit:

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.

SNUGGLY WARM FOOTSIES!

These boots are the solution we’ve been looking for! We joke that my husband’s feet are so wide he should just wear the shoe box. Add edema and consequent poor circulation to the mix and winter becomes very uncomfortable. These boots /slippers are easy to put on and adjust according to comfort. They’re practical and entirely fulfil the need for which they’ve been designed.

Great design & quality with spare innersoles

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)

A handy style to wear at home in the evening and early morning while recovering from an ankle fracture as it accommodates one normal ankle and one chonky repaired ankle. Not quite supportive enough for me to wear all day during my rehab.

The shoes would be so much better if the straps were around the other way. As they are, you can't get a really snug fit, they feel constantly loose.

not overly impressed

i find the velcro to be on the wrong side of the foot get a nice tight fit. if the velcro pulled to the inside of the foot it would fine. i also find the width to be a bit narrow as i have a wide foot

Medical Sheepskin slippers

These were a gift for my elderly cousin who has quite deformed feet due to bunions. She didn’t have high hopes as always has trouble with shoes and slippers - but she’s thrilled with these!

Excellent quality, opens up nice and wide to

Excellent quality, and opens up nice and wide to easily get my son’s feet into them. Also has lots of room/height in the toe area which helps a lot. Definitely recommend for anyone who needs accessible slippers.

I thought the back opened

Upon buying the shoes I thought the back of the shoe opened

Hi there,
Thanks for your review. This style opens at the top with a velcro strap.
We do offer 30 days for refunds if this is not suitable for your feet.

Perfect fit for difficult feet

These boots are perfect for mum’s feet that are often swollen and painful. A size larger than usual has fitted perfectly straight away and she finds the opening and closure flaps very easy to handle. They are warm and ‘snuggly’. Thankyou for this design!

Great Slippers, Very comfortable

I bought these slippers for my sister with Lymphodema and they are the only shoes I've managed to get her to keep on her feet due to the ability to have them as tight or loose as she wants! Thank you

Hi, Garry! We truly appreciate your kind review. It’s wonderful to know the adjustable fit of the Argyle v2 boots is making such a difference for your sister. Sending our best wishes for her comfort and wellbeing.

Only one single problem

I am super-happy with these boots - with my swollen feet, they have been perfect in every way but one: they are too short, lengthways. I thought I had followed all the instructions, etc, and yet the M10/W11 was too short for my feet. I know that there are no returns or exchanges on this particular boot, so Im having to just sit on these - I'm asking around friends for boot-stretchers to see if I can't get a little bit more room in them.
Measure twice, order once - and maybe order one size bigger than you're measuring?

Perfect fit

Absolutely perfect for my dads swollen legs/lymphoedema. The way the straps are made and the fabrics tounge in the middle is such a great idea compared to other companies out there. Only thing I would say is I wish there was a washable lining as his legs are constantly leaking so we have to buys new pairs of shoes frequently. Thanks a million!

Hi, Phoebe! Thanks for your thoughtful review. It’s great to hear the design of our medical sheepskin boots is working well for your dad’s needs. The innersoles can be removed and swapped for orthotics or new sheepskin innersoles, which might help with frequent replacements. We appreciate your suggestion about a washable lining and will keep it in mind as we improve our healthcare range. Thanks again for your support.
