bio mechanical, wider fit, slip resistant, and orthotic friendly teal icons.

Some boots are for work. Some are for the weekend. Explores didn't get the memo. It does both .. properly. 

Soft toe, slip resistant sole and a bio mechanical footbed keep you comfy through a bar shift, a day in the garden or hours on your feet, while the classic chelsea looks slip straight into your everyday wardrobe.

Roomy toe box and contoured fit, made for wider feet and busy lives.

Full Description

Explores refuses to pick a lane. It's a genuine occupational work boot and a classic everyday chelsea rolled into one supremely comfortable package.

Built as a certified occupational (soft toe) work boot, Explores is made for real days on your feet. The slip resistant outsole is rated to the highest slip resistance level for grip on slick floors, the water resistant crazy horse leather shrugs off splashes and spills, and the soft toe keeps things comfortable and flexible .. all the work credentials, none of the heavy steel cap. Whether you're pulling beers, weeding the veggie patch or powering through a long shift, it's certified to keep up.

Underfoot is where it earns its keep. A bio mechanical, anti fatigue footbed supports your natural alignment through the foot and lower leg, while a shock absorbing PU midsole softens every step to take the load off your feet, ankles and knees. The generous, rounded toe box gives wider feet room to breathe, and the footbed lifts out if you'd rather drop in your own orthotics .. no sizing up required.

Then there's the easy part .. it just looks good. A classic chelsea silhouette in rich crazy horse leather that earns its own character with wear, finished with a neat striped elastic gusset and a handy pull tab. Team them with jeans for the day, a dress for dinner, or your work uniform .. they don't miss a beat.

Please note .. elastic design and tab colour may vary slightly, so yours might come with its own little quirk. Crafted from quality Gold Rated leather, responsibly sourced and produced with a lower environmental impact.

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!!!
