From the ground up
A woman's vision .. and a footwear revolution!
She wear launched in 2013 with a simple mission: to create better fitting and more comfortable work boots for women. What began as one woman’s frustration on a job site quickly turned into a revolution in women’s functional footwear.
Fast forward 11 + years, our range has grown from just 2 safety styles at launch, to include multiple safety footwear options, and now work and lifestyle shoes .. all designed from the ground up with bio mechanical support, premium materials and a deep understanding of women’s feet. It’s footwear with purpose, shaped by heritage, and crafted to support women at work and at play.
Read on to discover how we’re changing the way women experience comfort .. one step at a time.
FROM THE GROUND UP
Meet our founder
It all started when Stacey stepped on a nail on a building site.
The injury was painful, but what really hit hard was the realisation that there were no proper safety boots made for women. Every option was either a bulky men’s boot or a so-called “unisex” fit (aka a man's fit). Nothing offered the support or comfort she needed. So instead of settling, she decided to solve the problem. And just like that, she wear was born .. Australia’s first women’s safety boot brand, built by a woman who knew we deserved better.
Ten months after the light bulb moment (and a whole lot of determination later), the very first she wear boots hit the ground .. better fitting and built just for women. A first for Australia, and a game-changer for women everywhere who were sick of settling. Just four months later, our boots were strutting their stuff on national TV as the go-to boot for the women on The Block.
Fast forward 11+ years, and Stacey’s still leading the charge .. designing footwear for all kinds of work and play, and diving deep into what makes a truly healthy, supportive shoe. From bio mechanical principles to material innovation, countless hours of learning, testing and tweaking have gone into every pair. Because women deserve better .. not just in safety boots, but in every step they take.
We’ve grown from a safety boot company into a comfort-first functional footwear brand for all women .. whether you’re on the tools, on your feet all day, or just after shoes that actually feel good. And it doesn’t stop at shoes. Today, she wear is your one-stop for healthy everyday essentials: supportive shoes, bamboo socks and underwear, women’s workwear, PPE, and more.
Our mission hasn’t changed. We’re still fired up about one thing: creating a space where women are seen, supported, and given the choices they’ve always deserved .. on the job, in the workplace, and beyond.
