Designed for Comfort & Easy Wear

If you (or someone you care for) struggle with standard boots due to foot pain, bunions, or limited flexibility, the Clayton Front Zipper Ugg-Style Boot is built to help. It's part of the Black Sheep Healthcare Range, trusted by podiatrists across Australia since 1975.

Unlike traditional boots that require bending or forcing the foot in, the front zipper design allows the entire boot to open up fully - easy to slip on and off, reducing strain on the ankle and toes. Ideal for the elderly, people with arthritis, circulation issues, or anyone who needs a more accessible footwear option.

Swollen or wider feet?
Our redesigned Clayton V2 has a roomier upper built specifically to give your feet more room - worth checking out if you feel you have swollen feet and normal shoes don't seem to fit well.

Why Choose Clayton

  • Easy to put on and take off - the wide front zipper eliminates the struggle of pulling on tight boots
  • Premium Australian sheepskin - naturally soft and dense, the curly wool lining cushions pressure points, regulates temperature, and keeps feet warm while breathing well to stay dry
  • Safe and stable - a flexible, non-slip rubber sole provides secure grip for indoor and outdoor use
  • Thoughtful details - a suede leather lining behind the zipper stops it catching on the wool, with a premium-grade zipper for long-lasting durability

Recommended by Podiatrists

"The lambswool lining provides unmatched comfort and helps regulate temperature, which is crucial for those with circulation issues. The extra width and depth accommodate bunions and clawed toes, offering relief that standard shoes just can't provide."

"Our patients finally have a shoe that combines cushioning, stability, and comfort. The firm, non-slip sole and plush sheepskin lining make these boots a perfect choice for daily wear, especially for those with sensitive or problem feet."

Who Is It For?

  • Elderly individuals seeking easy-wear, supportive footwear
  • Anyone who finds regular boots hard to put on due to movement or flexibility problems
  • Podiatrists and carers looking for orthopaedic-style sheepskin boots to recommend to patients

Finding Your Fit

Clayton runs true to size in length for most customers. One thing worth knowing: a small number of customers with larger ankles or higher-volume feet have found the zip opening snug to close - if you have a larger ankle or calf, it's worth checking the size chart's width measurements closely, or reaching out to us before ordering if you're unsure. If that sounds like you, our redesigned Clayton V2 has a roomier upper built specifically for swollen or wider feet - worth checking out if the standard fit feels snug through the ankle.

Sizing feels off once they arrive? Our Returns & Exchanges process is straightforward.

Step Into Comfort Today

The Clayton Front Zipper Boot isn't just footwear - it's a daily essential for those who need extra support, comfort, and accessibility.

This will sound like a paid review but I loved

This will sound like a paid review but I loved the first pair I bought so much I bought a second identical pair only weeks later.
I have 2 other pairs of other brand Australian made Ugg boots bought because I have nerve related cold feet, and the pulling off and particularly on had always been a hassle and more so now that I have back problems which make me reluctant to make that bent over pulling motion.
These boots with the front zipper are fantastic for me, precisely what i wanted and the way they look is a bonus with the top stitching giving a much better shape than other Ugg boots.
The quality is beautiful particularly compared to the other Ugg boots which I wouldn’t have really noticed unless I could make the direct comparison, and the zipper is snug and doesn’t catch as well as lookin great zipped or unzipped.
Absolutely faultless and perfect for me.

Fantastic boots, lovely fit, true to size

Fantastic boots, lovely fit, true to size. I only found one small problem: the zip wouldn't pull up on the teeth. Being new, I solved that by using a lead pencil on the teeth. Also, a small tab on the zip would help people like me with stroke-related issues to pull the zip up. I would definitely recommend these to everyone. Very comfortable on my feet, no more pain after 2 days of wearing. I even could start to walk again after almost 11 months post-stroke. Thank you, Yellow Earth. I will be back next year to buy my slippers from you. I rate 5\*\*\*\*\*

Thank you for these lovely warm boots. They are true to size, very comfortable and well made. I have very wide feet with problems and these boots give my feet room to move . The added advantage of being easy to get on and off is very welcome. I would highly recommend them.

Ordered correct sizing and based on the description was expecting a deep toe box accommodating boot. The arch is super narrow and the toebox is more restrictive that some other 'non medical ' UGGs I have brought previously. Good quality build but very disappointing size wise not matching the description.

Very happy with purchase

Very happy with purchase. At last I've found footwear that fits my wide feet well. The zips were a little tricky at first but by pulling the two sides closer they join easily. Wish I'd purchased them long ago.

So needed !!

Front zipper opening ugg boots were what I needed so much- have had many spinal surgeries and cannot bend at all, so getting boots on is very difficult.Winters are VERY cold where I live, ugg boots are very necessary, so I am a very happy purchaser. Quality is very good, price was very fair, and delivery time was excellent !

The zipper up the front is such a good idea

The zipper up the front is such a good idea. My husband had a stroke earlier in the yeat and these are great for him, as he can put them on and pull up the zipper himself. Helps make him feel like his old self, and not have to depend on me to get fully dressed.

Hello, Margi! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. We’re truly glad to hear the front zipper design has made things easier and more comfortable for your husband. It means a lot to know our sheepskin boots are helping him feel more independent and confident again. Wishing him continued recovery and comfort, and we hope to serve you both again soon.
