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.

our glowing reviews

Best boots I've ever bought!

"They have certainly proven their value and worth the money from the moment I first put them on!

Super comfortable and supportive, I didn't even get any blisters after the first few wears - this hasn't happened before!

They've been great when stacking shelves at the supermarkets, allows for easy foot bending without them digging in. Great for sheep and cattle work as well, have awesome grip and have been useful in saving my feet from being crushed by 1 tonne animals constantly. So glad I bought them!"

MIKAYLA

Extremely comfortable and durable

"I wear them every day. More durable than other similar priced popular shoes - Supports 2 win my vote hands down. So much so I now have 2 pairs and looking to buy a 3rd - all different colours. I Love my she wear shoes!"

MALYNDA

Fun socks

"Love my new leopard print socks. They are comfortable and great for my busy working feet".

KAREN

Best shoes ever

"These are absolutely the best pair of walking shoes I have ever owned. So comfortable and excellent quality as with all she wear.

I hesitated at first because I have several pairs of she wear sneakers, but these are just amazing!!"

LOUISE

Comfort plus

"I wore these all day working on a concrete floor. My feet were tired from going all day - but not at all sore. Very comfortable, roomy and stylish. Not your average workwear."

JEN

So pleased!

"I have had a knee replacement, been diagnosed with lipodaema & have been struggling with finding suitable travel/walking boots/shoes. In fact, I’ve not been able to get anything that wasn’t men’s shoes for years.

So… I thought this would take some “getting used to.” That's not the case. I keep saying to my family & friends “I can’t believe how comfortable these are!!! Thanks guys!"

CATE

Perfect for show floor and office

"Delighted with my boots. They protect my feet on a busy manufacturing shop floor, have been very comfortable, no pressure points on my feet.

They are smart for the office, working well with office attire. A great pair of shoes - I just wish all my shoes where this comfortable!"

STRAIGHT TALK, no fluff

Frequently asked questions

What makes she wear shoes different?

Unlike standard off-the-shelf styles, our shoes are engineered for comfort and support, using bio mechanical footbeds, structured heel counters, and shock absorbing midsoles - all tailored to the shape and needs of women’s feet.

We don't "downsize" a man's shoe or boot and we have a fit and functionality first approach to our shoes.

Read about the inside goodness of our shoes here.

Do your shoes help with plantar fasciitis, bunions etc?

Yes! Many customers choose our footwear for relief from plantar fasciitis, bunions, arthritis, achilles pain and general fatigue. Our supportive, considered designs help reduce pressure and improve alignment.

We do always recommend seeking medical advice if you have suffer from any foot pain or injury.

You can read here about why our shoes may help you!

Can I use my own orthotic in your shoes?

Absolutely. All our shoes feature removable footbeds and clever hidden internal depth to accommodate custom orthotics without compromising fit or comfort.

Are your shoes suitable for people on their feet all day?

100%. Whether you work in healthcare, hospitality, retail, trades or just live an on-the-go life, our shock absorbing midsoles and supportive designs are made for long days on hard floors and busy lives.

Our heritage is actually from designing safety boots - so we know a thing or 2 about good fit, functionality and durability!

Do you offer different fits or widths, or half sizes?

Yes! We offer a range of styles with different fit profiles .. some roomier, some more narrower - because one shape doesn’t suit every foot.

We don’t offer half sizes, it’s a common myth that they guarantee a better fit. In reality, fit depends more on shape, depth, width, and adjustability. Sizing is detailed on each product page, our footbeds are removable for personalisation, and we design with real women’s feet in mind.

Not sure what will work for you? Our team is here to help you find your best fit.

How do I know which style will suit my feet?

Start with our Fit Quiz! It’s a quick and easy way to match your foot shape, needs, and preferences to the styles that’ll work best for you.

Whether you need a narrower fit, extra width or something for long days on your feet, the quiz takes out the guesswork.

You can take it here. And don't forget, our team of fit experts are here to help!
