Customer Reviews Xena Workwear Gravity Safety Shoe

I'm a third generation farmer that competes with my family's Hereford cattle and Hampshire and Border Leicester sheep at various fairs and stock shows. As important as it is that my animals look their best in the show ring, I also want to present myself well. Whether it's a 1,500-pound cow or a 250-pound ram, when either one steps on your foot it's going to hurt if you're not adequately protected. I was thrilled to find these Xenas. They look incredible with a pair of blue jeans (and it doesn't hurt that they match wonderfully with the dresses I wear to my office job). Most importantly, on top of looking stylish, they protected my feet. On show day at a recent fair when I got stepped on by our Hampshire ram - think pointy hooves that dig into your foot like a spade - I did not feel a thing, and there was barely a scuff mark on the leather. I was able to run around all day on pavement and gravel for three days and my feet weren't blistered or sore. Fashion and function in one package. Highly recommend!

When I first received the box I was blown away by the quality and care of the product packaging. The boot however blew my mind. They are perfect in every way except I underestimated the height of the heal. However I love them and get nothing but compliments on them. I will be ordering another style for more of a day to day operations.

So, I little long but bare with me. I wear a size 9/9.5 depending on the shoe so the first pair I ordered was a size 10. Ive never worn steel toes before so I thought the pain will go away. After two months, I was down to toenails and was like theres no way I can Lantus. But I got so many compliments I didnt want to downgrade to ugly steel toes. So I thought maybe they were too big and I ordered a size 9 wide. Still way too small so I ordered a 9 1/2. Again, way too small. I just got my 9 1/2 wide and OMG, its like the best feeling Ive had in 2 months. The size DEFINITELY matters. If you get the wrong size, try again (and again) until you find the ones that truly fit. The break in period will not stretch the toe out like on normal shoes because obviously you cant stretch steel, so you should know as soon as you put your foot in if they are too big/small. I got a girl at work wearing them and she tried 3 different sizes as well. Now she loves them too. You may be impatient but I promise its worth sending shoes back and forth until you find the right fit.

I LOVE my new XENA work shoes!!!! I love the comfort, safety, and look of my new work shoes! When I step into a new business meeting at a manufacturing plant I never know if we will be in a business meeting room type setting or out in their industrial plant/warehouse. It is so wonderful to be well prepared and well equipped for business and safety at the same time! They match everything and make getting ready for the day stress free! They also are not the kind of shoe you have to change out of to go to my kid's sport and school events! Which makes my transitions from work to play effortless! Thanks Xena!! I am so thankful to you all!

I have waited my whole career for stylish safety shoes. I love love my new boots! They are safe, comfortable and stylish.

Classic look with real comfort. These shoes make this 72 year old Nana feel spiffy!

I have been looking for a feminine shoe to wear to work since I've been promoted to supervisor and I no longer have to wear a uniform. Since the shoe catalogs provided by my employer is limited, I looked to the internet. I purchased the Gravity safety shoe in the Camel color. I have recieved so many compliments and love th fit of the shoe. I'm typically an 8.5 to size 9 in shoes so I purchased a 9.5. I'm looking forward to purchasing additional shoes from XenaWear. I highly recommend these shoes! -Molly

These are the second pair of Xenas that I own, I also have the Omega EH. Like the Omegas, I don't have to switch out my safety shoes to attend a campus meeting where everyone else is in business casual clothing. I really appreciate that a single pair of shoes serves multiple purposes and look like I belong wherever I go -- steel toe during facility walkthroughs and business casual shoes in a meeting. I do find wearing some more padding in the toe (like a hiking sock) helps if I have to stand for long periods of time. I wear them to the mall and out to dinner and I love them so much, I'm now getting another pair in cognac!

Love these shoes! So worth every penny. As an IC Mngr., I am in both the office and in the warehouse. Wanted shoes that were more professional in the office world but were to safety code for the warehouse world. Great quality, stylish and comfortable.

Beautiful shoes that gives you the safety you need while keeping the feminine look you are looking for in a dress shoe. Love them

I was surprised to find a nice looking, stylish shoe that I can wear in our facilities. The fit guide was great because Xena suggested buying a half size up and that was very helpful and turned out to be accurate, so Id recommend doing the same.

These shoes are comfy and so stylish!

As a project manager, versatility is key. I might be in a meeting in the office one minute and the next I'm out on the job without having to drag around another pair of shoes and stop to change them.

These are amazing. It took me about 5 days to break them in and get used to the bit of a heel. I love them now and they are my go-to boot in and out of work.

Such a cute shoe, they don't look like a steel toe, making it even better. Definitely follow the sizing guide for the correct size, they do offer exchanges which I had to do and they came so quickly! Can't wait to buy another pair.

Comfy and stylish..couldnt ask for a better option. Were women, why should we wear guys shoes? We dont have to!

Love these! Took a few days to break in, but now are so comfy and great, I even wear them outside of work sometimes. They have good floor grip and are half the volume of my other heels when walking on hard floors. I feel safe and cute and comfy.

I bought a pair of these last year. They last about a year (working 40-50 hours per week) which is typical of any safety shoe. They are super comfortable and I get so many compliments about them all the time since most other women in my shop wear clunky looking sneakers or boots. I just returned this year, and instead of 1, I bought 2 so I could have different colors to match my outfits. I bought brown last year and loved them, now I have black and green. And Ive already gotten compliments on the green and what a nice color it is. Buy these shoes!

It's a beautiful shose fit really well love the craftsmenship keep being awesome your work is great.

I am often out on rocky, muddy sites, or up on the catwalk of a ready mix truck, and still in many office and association meetings. I love the fit of the Gravity, but even moreso, I love how they make me feel confident and put-together without having to stop off and change my shoes from business meeting to outside. I also love the supportive community of women who also wear Xena Workwear.

WALKING ON SUNSHINE Love my Gravity Safety Shoes Very comfortable and stylish while protecting my feet on the plant Makes for an easy transition to the site office

The shoes look great and very comfortable. I had to exchange the shoes because half size up was still too small. Exchange process was so easy. They sent me a shipping label and as soon as I ship the shoes back they sent me my new pair.

I've had these for 2 years now, they've held up great. They're a little heavy, but you get used to it quick. There is a solid 2 week break in period, but after that they fit like a dream and have for 2 years straight now. I'm a sneaker size 8, flats size 7 or 7.5 and the size 8 fits comfortably, best with a thick pair of socks

I have been in the manufacturing and distribution industries for over 40 years and have always had to wear clunky, non-gender steel toe shoes. Now owning two styles of these attractive, functional womens steel toe boots makes me feel better about myself and have made me want to dress up better for work. As a manager, dressing up gives me more confidence and, I believe, sends a subtle message that I can be productive out on the shop floor and still look and feel like a woman having these footwear provides me that confidence and compliance to policy, all while being comfortable! Thank you for your innovative spirit!

I LOVE Xena booties! I work in the field and with clients and these boots allow me to be safe and stylish! I have these boots and grey and brown and absolutely love them!
