Full Description

Finding a walking shoe that provides the right level of support and comfort can be a struggle .. and our founder knew this firsthand. With 11 years of experience designing work footwear, she had tried countless options, but running shoes just weren’t cutting it for walking. Determined to create something better, she set out to design a shoe without compromising on comfort or style. The result is the Pace walking shoe, purpose-built to support every step, whether you’re tackling your daily walk, exploring on weekends, or working through a busy day.

Unlike running shoes, which are designed for forward motion at high speeds, Pace offers the stability, cushioning, and all day comfort needed for steady walking.

Key features:

Engineered jacquard and microfibre upper blends breathable comfort with structured support, offering targeted flexibility and durability where your feet need it most. Extra lace locking eyelet for narrower heels.

Extra medial arch support provides enhanced stability and alignment, helping to reduce overpronation and improve overall foot support.

Bio mechanical footbed specifically crafted to cater to the unique shape and structure of women's feet, providing tailored support to enhance comfort, reduce fatigue and promote natural movement throughout the day (included with all she wear shoes, valued at $60!).

Heel-to-toe pitch promotes a smoother walking motion, reducing strain on the heel, ankles, calves, and Achilles tendon, making it ideal for those with plantar fasciitis, ankle mobility issues, or calf and achilles discomfort.

Rocker style sole designed to encourage a smoother, more natural gait. This sole reduces foot fatigue by easing the transition from heel strike to toe-off, promoting a more fluid walking motion and reducing strain on your joints. Beneficial for plantar fasciitis and arthritis sufferers.

Shock absorbing endurance midsole designed for superior performance, enhanced support, and optimal shock absorption. The sole is denser and longer lasting compared to a running shoe.

Slip resistant rubber outsole for enhanced grip and safety on a variety of surfaces.

NB : Pace is a fantastic option as a work shoe, however if you're in an environment where you're likely to get your shoes wet, or you walk on abrasive surfaces, a pair of our certified work shoes will be more suitable.

Our restock of Pace may feel a little different to the original Pace. We have added extra padding in the heel to give a near perfect heel fit, so they may feel slightly smaller.

Care & Cleaning

Regular care of your shoes and boots has multiple advantages. 

It will give you maximum footwear performance, will keep your shoes in top-top condition to ensure proper support and comfort (and not to mention safety), and will extend the lifespan of your shoes.

TO CLEAN JACQUARD

Gather supplies: Soft brush, mild soap, soft cloths, waterproofing spray and bowl of water.
Brush off dirt: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the surface being careful not to snag the knit.
Prepare cleaning solution: Mix mild soap with water and dip the cloth into the solution and gently clean the shoe (do not oversaturate). Wipe off any soap residue.
Dry properly: Pat the shoes with a dry cloth and let them air dry away from direct heat.
Protect: Once dry, apply a waterproofing spray to shield against future stains and water damage.
Store correctly: Store shoes in a cool, dry place.

We highly recommend our premium shoe care kit.

Crafted by women .. for women.

In 2013, after a nail-through-the-foot accident on a building site, our founder Stacey set out on a mission to find a pair of good fitting women's work boots. Shocked to discover only men's or "unisex" options that were heavy and uncomfortable, Stacey took matters into her own hands and created she wear's first range of safety boots tailored specifically for women.

Fast forward to today, and we've expanded that same commitment to all day comfort and support into a full range of women's work shoes and functional, everyday lifestyle footwear plus a line of accessories.

So, whether you're an engineer, nurse, tradie, chef, gardener, retail worker, or just want (or need!) supportive shoes .. we've got your back ♥

    Surprisingly Comfy and Great Fit For Petite Feet

    I was sceptical at first - the size 5 looked way too long for my Size 5 narrow feet but voilà! they are great fit. Very supportive too. Good adjustable laces (can't wear too tight or my injured ankle aches. Ordinarily I wear custom orthotics but I have found the orthopaedic innersoles very supportive after my first two walks. They are quite roomy around the toes but I prefer this for my petite feet. The included innersoles are quite thick so I'm not sure my custom orthotics will be suitable as the shoe could be too big. Either way In impressed with the fit, comfort and style.

    Got me all through Japan!

    I bought these before a trip to Japan (three weeks) and can't rate them highly enough. Comfortable, supportive, they still look new despite all the walking on hard pavements, temple and shrive stairs, and mountain paths.

    These are perfect for serious walking.

    Hot pink Pace - bringing the motivation

    Can I just say that I LOVE the Hot Pink!!

    After a longer than anticipated recovery, I needed motivation to get back into exercise and support my well being.

    As directed, I wore these shoes in for a couple of hours each day. As these were more narrow, it did take some settling in, but after this I was off and running!

    Great support, grip,and light to wear - and I am motivated with joy as I slip my pinks on and get into the pace of wellbeing again!!

    Thankyou!!!

    Well done

    I purchased these shoes for work. I’m a nurse who often do a 18 hour shift. I’m in my 50’s have planter fasciitis. I noticed the internal lift straight away. Excellent for my flat foot. They look cute and narrow as well for a work shoe. A bit squeaky on Lino floors. Thanks
