When you design shoes with heart, purpose, and a whole lot of science behind every step .. the world takes notice. And that’s exactly what happened! she wear took home four major awards in just one week.
These awards don’t just celebrate beautiful shoes .. they recognise innovation, leadership, and a mission that started with one simple goal: to create better footwear for women.
A Week of Wins: she wear Awards 2025
Let’s take a moment to look at what this week of wins looked like:
Good Design Awards 2025
-
Gold Winner for our safety boots
-
Winner for our walking shoes
The Good Design Awards celebrate the very best in product design, and winning not one, but two awards proves what we’ve always believed .. women’s footwear deserves just as much thought, structure, and style as men’s.
Workplace Health & Safety Show 2025
-
Pioneer – Champions of Safety awarded to our founder, Stacey Head
Stacey was recognised for her relentless work in making women’s safety footwear that actually fits, protects, and performs.
Women in Fashion Awards 2025
-
Innovation of the Year awarded to our founder, Stacey Head
This one hit close to home. Because innovation isn’t just about creating something new .. it’s about changing the way an entire industry sees women. And Stacey’s been doing exactly that since 2013.
Designing for Women, Not Shrinking for Them
Every she wear design starts with a truth: women’s feet are not just smaller versions of men’s. Our anatomy is different. Our needs are different. And yet, for far too long, the industry overlooked this.
From our award winning women’s footwear, like the Pace walking shoe and Inspires safety boot .. to every stitch, sole, and supportive footbed, we design shoes that actually work for real women doing real work.
We’re proud that the judges saw what we already know .. that true innovation is in creating something fit for purpose, fit for comfort, and fit for women.
What These Awards Mean to Us
Awards are wonderful (and we’re definitely celebrating with cake), but what really matters is what they represent. Validation that our mission is making a difference!
It means the female tradies who once had to wear men’s boots now has a pair that fits. It means healthcare workers can finish a 12 hour shift without aching feet. And it means everyday women can walk, work, and live comfortably, without compromise.
This is what award winning women’s footwear truly means to us. Not just trophies on a shelf, but a reminder that we’re walking in the right direction.
Meet Stacey: The Woman Behind the Wins
Our founder, designer, and all-around powerhouse, Stacey, started she wear after her own workplace injury exposed a gap in the market .. women simply didn’t have access to safe, comfortable, properly fitting footwear.
Since 2013, Stacey’s been designing from the ground up .. literally. Her hands on experience, bio mechanical knowledge, and sheer determination have turned she wear into Australia’s go-to brand for women’s safety, work, and lifestyle footwear.
“It’s not just about making shoes. It’s about helping women move confidently, safely, and comfortably through their day.” – Stacey Head
