Full Description

Modelled on our top selling work boot style, the Achieves, say hi to Pursues!

Manufactured with premium Gold Rated, vintage style crazy horse leather and contrast stylish stitching and laces, she has the same safety specs such as a lightweight, 200 joule impact resistant composite cap, however is designed with an alternative sole, therefore the sole specs are different.

The Pursues offers a PU/TPU sole (same as our Inspires) which is a great option for wearing in the outdoors - particularly if you're regularly walking on abrasive surfaces. It is highly durable, provides a high tolerance against cuts, abrasian and cracking and also offers best-in-class slip resistance properties (SRC). TPU is heat resistant to 130 degrees C, so has a lower heat resistance rating than rubber (offering 300 degrees C).

Pursues has the exact same suuuuuper comfy and supportive properties as our Achieves, offering superior shock absorption plus our bio mechanical footbeds and Poron anti fatigue midsole inserts. And as always, designed and contoured for a woman's foot shape .. correctly and comfortably! #bywomenforwomen

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!

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 ♥

    Best Boots Eva

    I've been looking for a pair of comfy steel caps for years, I have tried so many other brands, and finally have found the best fit, lightweight, wide enough boot that looks great too. I need a fairly wide fit due to painful joints and these give plenty or room without being too wide that they float around on my feet. Love them.

    Perfect for stable work

    Just ordered my second pair, so what better time to review? These boots are amazing! I work at a racehorse stable, and these boots are perfect for the job.

    A bit about my feet:

    I have narrow feet which makes most shoes sit too wide and allow my feet to slide inside. This is especially true for stiff shoes like work boots. After breaking in, the leather became soft enough to tighten enough to fit my narrow feet, and they would definitely work for regular feet as well! I have high arches so most shoes (let alone boots) make the muscles along my arch feel stretched out by the end of a work day, to the point standing to shower after work is painful. Not with these! The sole is stiff enough to support my foot structure, while remaining flexible enough for me to walk comfortably. I can get a little bit of pain in the ball of my foot, but that’s rare and much more pleasant than arch pain.

    Why I swear by these boots:

    I have had multiple horses put their feet on mine and hold them there, while I can’t even feel the pressure. I only realise when I go to move my foot and it doesn’t budge lol. One horse even turned around while his foot was on mine which means more weight on my foot which I still did not feel! I’ve also had horses kick the back of my heel while walking with me, which also doesn’t hurt because the leather is structured so well. The leather does absorb water, but it hasn’t weakened at all, and my feet have never gotten wet in these boots. This is also more to do with…

    Perfect footwear

    I was concerned about many aspects this being my first she wear purchase.

    Size - I have a big foot - ✅. All good, enough room and not too wide.

    Comfort - ✅. All good but I have left the top ankle unlaced while they soften up. I managed to mow and move rocks on first wearing with no problems.

    Orthotics - ✅ ✅. All good. They slot in easily and are comfortable in the boot.

    Life changing!

    After suffering an ankle and foot injury in 2019 which has caused ongoing damage to my tendons, ligaments, muscles and nerves and has given me osteoarthritis and arthritis these are the only boots which have given my foot and ankle the support and stablity i have been looking for especially seeming i also have hypermobilty which made looking for the support i needed more difficult. I have spent well over a thousand dollars buying high rise boots and shoes hoping they could be the answer with no success but these boots are lightweight, comfortable, sturdy and i have recieved at least 5 compliments since i got them last month. I also love the insoles which are designed so well and definantly designed for not just comfort but for all day wear for women. 👩

    THANK YOU SHE WEAR!!! ❤️
