True beauty shines from the inside out, and our shoes are no different! Beneath the surface, they’re packed with stabilising, shock absorbing, anti fatigue materials designed to support your feet - and your whole body - through long, demanding days. Day after day, for the long haul.
Take a peek inside our footwear, and you’ll find a powerhouse of advanced materials: a unique blend of supportive midsoles, durable shock absorbing outsoles and carefully crafted, bio mechanical footbeds contoured to perfection.
We know it sounds technical, but combined with smart, thoughtful design, these elements are the secret behind our redefinition of GOOD when it comes to functional shoes for women.
But first, let's hear from you!
I suffer from plantar fasciitis and swollen feet and lower legs. I wear she wear boots every day to work as I stand up all day. My feet/legs don’t ache after a long day at work on my feet. I have tried all types of shoes over the years but nothing has helped until I found she wear.
~ Kristen
My she wear sneakers are so comfortable. I have 2 issues with my foot, in that I have broken my 5th metatarsal bone and ligament damage in my ankle. These are the only shoes I’ve been able to have on with the brace and to be able to wear a pair of shoes comfortably is awesome.

THE MIGHTY VS THE MARSHMALLOW
Shock absorbing midsoles
Our mighty midsoles puts the real razzle dazzle in your step. It’s also a major reason why she wear out muscles most other shoes used for work or play.
One of our "secret sauces" is that our midsoles are made from power-performing materials, which keep you supported for long hours on your feet. And they won't flatten or compress with wear - that means all day comfort every day, over and over and over again!
Tech term
Midsole
What you might call it
The bit in the middle of the shoe
Highlights
- We only use high density, quality materials which won’t overly compress or flatten with wear - translation: long wearing support, durability and excellent for overall foot/body health
- Even our lighter weight options, are still built with durable, denser soles which means less air to compress! (Yep that's what lightweight shoes are made from - lots and lots of air!)
- Shock absorbing to lessen leg and foot fatigue
- Resists shoe over flex - shoes which are too flexible make your feet work harder, and they get super tired, really quickly
- Some of our women’s safety boot styles also have additional Poron anti fatigue gel discs built into the midsole for extra comfort and support
BIO MECHANICS
Heel-to-toe pitch
Our footwear features a carefully designed heel-to-toe pitch, a key element that enhances comfort and support throughout the day. This design not only promotes a smoother walking experience but also addresses specific foot health concerns, making it perfect for those on their feet all day or managing foot and ankle conditions.
Commonly discussed in the running world, heel-to-toe pitch refers to how a shoe's design influences gait and bio mechanics. A higher drop often supports a heel-strike running style, and since most people also strike with their heels when walking, we’ve incorporated this same principle into our footwear for added comfort, support and stability.
It’s worth noting: you can’t see a shoe’s heel pitch just by looking at the complete shoe. Heel pitch is measured internally, without the upper part of the shoe attached. What you can see is the stack height, which refers to the visible thickness of the sole but that’s a different measurement entirely and not related to pitch.
Tech term
Heel-to-toe pitch
What you might call it
Drop (or heel drop or toe drop), heel-to-toe offset
Highlights
All our footwear feature a heel-to-toe pitch, which means the design of the shoe helps create a natural, gradual slope from the heel to the toe. The measurement is stated on the individual product pages.
In short, the heel-to-toe pitch is a supportive feature that helps promote a more natural, comfortable walking experience, while also addressing specific foot health issues, making it an ideal choice for those on their feet all day or managing foot and ankle conditions.
- Good for long days of walking: The heel-to-toe pitch promotes a more comfortable stride by encouraging a smooth transition from heel strike to toe-off. This helps reduce pressure on the feet and joints, making it easier to walk for extended periods without discomfort.
- Good for ankle mobility issues: The gradual slope supports better ankle movement by allowing the foot to roll forward naturally with each step, improving flexibility and range of motion, especially for those with limited ankle mobility. If you're a high heel wearer (or ex wearer!) or have played sports such as netball or tennis, a heel-to-toe pitch is generally suited to you.
- Good for plantar fasciitis sufferers: The design helps distribute pressure more evenly across the foot, reducing strain on the plantar fascia (the ligament that connects your heel to your toes), alleviating pain associated with this condition.
- Good for achilles tendonitis : By offering a slightly elevated heel, the shoe can reduce stress on the achilles tendon, promoting better alignment and reducing inflammation or discomfort in the tendon.
- It’s essential to consult a medical professional if you’re dealing with foot injuries or ailments. Shoes can definitely provide support, but more often than not, recovery also requires targeted exercises to strengthen and heal.
