The lightweight construction and slip resistant outsole add to its everyday practicality, while subtle design details like the striped elastic gusset give it a clean, elevated finish.

Versatile by design, Explores transitions easily from outdoor wear to everyday outfits .. pair it with jeans, dresses or your day to day wardrobe.

Please note .. elastic design and tab colour may vary. Crafted using quality Gold Rated leather, produced with environmentally responsible practices.

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 CRAZY HORSE LEATHER FOOTWEAR

Gather supplies: Soft brush, mild soap or leather cleaner, soft cloths, leather conditioner or wax, waterproofing spray and bowl of water.
Brush off dirt: Use a soft brush to gently remove dirt and dust from the surface.
Prepare cleaning solution: Mix mild soap or leather cleaner 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.
Condition: Use a leather conditioner or leather wax to maintain the leather's suppleness, especially if you wear your shoes regularly.
Buff to shine: Once the conditioner is absorbed, buff the shoes with a dry cloth to restore their shine.
Protect: Once dry, apply a waterproofing spray to shield against future stains and water damage.
Store correctly: Store shoes in a cool, dry place.

This style of leather looks fantastic highly buffed to a shine!  

We highly recommend our premium
shoe care kit
 plus a conditioner/moisturiser suitable for waxy leathers.

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 2025, 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 ♥

    Most comfortable boots ever

    This is my third pair of She wear boots and I literally put them on for the first time and head off to work!

    Slightly bummed that they are just brown instead of a colour or pattern, but you can't have everything :)

    Comfortable and supportive

    Love these shoes! They are so comfortable and supportive. A bit heavy, but that’s to be expected with the boot type. I should have listened and sized down to a 9 like it recommended when in-between sizes, but a heel grip has done the trick. Perfect for super-wide feet like mine!

    Great boots for problem feet

    I was delighted to find a pair of cool looking boots that were instantly comfortable. They didn’t need ‘breaking in’ and have been comfy from the first wear. I am currently putting through their paces at a 4 day folk festival…..so far so good!!!
