Inertia EH Safety Boot Reviews — Part 1 of 5

Verified customer reviews for Inertia EH Safety Boot — Part 1 of 5.

  • ★★★★★Art Museum

    These are my second pair of steel-toe boots from Xena. I was obsessed with the first pair (black Omegas), and I’m just as happy with my Inertias! They’re cute, comfy, and totally badass. As the registrar of an art museum, I’m constantly lifting heavy artwork, using power tools, and climbing on ladders, but I still want to look professional and stylish. These are perfect! Always happy to promote these cute safety shoes made for women by women.

  • ★★★★★Rubber Extrusion

    I work full time as a shipping and receiving clerk for a rubber extrusion company. I love that these boots are so comfortable to wear all day. They are super light and give great ankle support which are my 2 biggest issues with work boots normally. I have already recommended these to a few other women who work with me or who I know need boots for their jobs.

    Boots of are excellent quality, purchased size 7, as I typically wear 6.5/7 and they fit great. Side note* I also have the Chelsie boot and purchased 7.5, as it was recommended to go up half size and they are too big! So if you are between sizes like me, I suggest going with the larger size before going half size up. I also inserted puncture resistant insoles and they fit great. The only hang up is lacing/tying shoelaces! Would have been great to have a side zipper but I understand it compromises wet proof feature. Overall, excellent purchase, will buy more shoes, and I recommend this product!

    I love these boots! They take a bit of time to break in but they are supportive and super cute! I love Xena and recommend everyone to check out their products!

  • ★★★★★City Planning/Civil Engineering

    I love these boots. I flipped off my bike the other day leaving home depot and, judging by the scuff on the leather, the protective toe helped my avoid wrecking my foot in the process. Thanks, Xena!

    These safety boots are exactly what I've been waiting for! The width is perfect for me, the footed is comfortable standing all day long, and the style is fantastic. I can't say enough good things anout my Xenas!

  • ★★★★★Tree care/forestry

    I got these boots as a solid outdoor boot when I’m trimming trees or just assessing them. I wanted a lighter fashionable boot because everything seems so chunky and these are perfect. They are super cute and comfy! I did order half a size up as suggested which I wasn’t sure if I should because I’m always a solid 9, but going up was the right move. The boots didn’t need a lot of break in time either which was fantastic!

    Absolutely love these! Woman in the EHS world here. I get asked all the time if my boots are actually steel toes, and they are always impressed when I show them the card!

    They look so beautiful and stylish, they fit well. I will have to add insoles as Im on my feet pretty much all day and after a few hours it gets uncomfortable. I Definitely recommend them!

  • ★★★★★Construction and Traffic control

    Give these shoes a couple of days and then they’ll become the most comfortable steel toes you can get. I get so many compliments on my shoes and people can’t believe they’re steel toes. Worth the money.

    Love, Love, Love my Xena EH Safety boots! The break in period took a little longer than I thought, about a week and a half. Now they fit like a glove. I wear them everyday to our jobsite.

    This is my second pair of Xena boots and I am still over the moon about them! Stylish and functional. People are always shocked on job sites when I tell them they are steel toes. Highly recommend

  • ★★☆☆☆USPS

    Some of the material on the toe was torn the first day I wore them. The steel toe is horrid on the tops of my toes. Lace hooks would be preferable for a shoe that laces that high so I can get them off without having to completly losen all the top laces. The material attracts dust like velcro. I don't feel like they are worth what I payed for them. I won't be a repeat customer. The design is lovely that's why two stars.

  • ★★★★☆

    Great boot, but in my case runs somewhat big. I love the style, lack of “clunky-ness”, and the flexibility in the ankle which was something I was looking for. I will say that I’m normally a true size 7, but the 7.5s were much too big on me. I exchanged them for a 7, but I honestly think I could have gone with a 6.5. There is lots of room in the toe, but should be fine with thick socks and an insert. Wish there was a place to try these on in person. If you

    I was honestly not a big fan and would like to return them... The hurt my heels and were not as cute as I thought they would be.

  • ★★★★★Retail/Warehouse & Salesfloor

    I love my Xenas! I work a retail job that includes 8+ hours of receiving stock in our warehouse as well as helping customers on the salesfloor. These boots are comfortable enough to wear for both. As a veteran of the US Navy, I am no stranger to wearing heavy utility boots. These are seriously the most comfortable pair I have ever worn. Added bonus- they look good when I have to work on the salesfloor, unlike other utility boots. Thank you!!

    These shoes are INCREDIBLE! When it came to working out on a jobsite I knew I needed comfortable and supportive shoes but figured they would lack in style....not these. I did have some issues with sizing however everyone with Xena helped me figuring out the correct size (returns are super easy as well). So thrilled I found this company!

    It has been a struggle over the years to find a pair of safety approved boots that don't look like clown shoes. I love how cute my new Xena boots are, and a few co-workers were surprised they were steel toed. So happy with Xena and can't wait to see what styles they come up with in the future.

  • ★★★★★Independent contractor

    Love the style of the boots. I’m usually between 7 and 7 1/2 , so I bought 7 1/2 size. The only thing that kind of bothers me is having to wear thick socks otherwise my feet slide around. But it could also be because i ordered wide? Great shoes though! My feet don’t hurt at all wearing them

  • ★★★★★Construction

    I literally keep getting reported because no one realizes they're OSHA rated. So I wanted to wait until I wore them in so my review wouldn't be filled with rage about how uncomfortable they are. Its been over two weeks and they fit PERFECTLY. My only issue with them is that I literally keep getting reported about wearing these cause everyone thinks they're regular boots. I work in construction and we have an anonymous hotline to report safety concerns and I've been reported twice! I even had a conversation with my supervisor about it today and he was geniunely surprised at the style and safety rating. I'm obviously not in trouble since they are WOOKBOOTS but I thought it was funny enough to share.

  • ★★★★☆Lowes/retail

    I love these boots. They look great, especially being a women’s safety toe shoe. Only complaint is that they take a while to break in fully, more than what is listed on the website. Other than that I love them!

    These shoes are perfect for my job! The lack of any exposed metal is exactly what may employer called for in their steel toe boot.

  • ★★★★★Aviation

    I love these boots, my only issue is that the toe is too pointed, they are the perfect size but they pinch my toes in which isn’t painful or anything but it is bad for your feet over time. The only way around this would be to get a bigger size but that defeats the purpose of trying to get a better fit.

  • ★★★★★Bartender

    I work in a restaurant behind the bar, this means a lot of slinging kegs, bending, climbing, running food, etc. I'm always super confident in the steel toe and the coverage of the ankles. Plus theyre very stylish and I wear them outside of work often. They're the full package! I do have to wear insoles because I abuse these things. But they're incredible.

  • ★★★★☆BMK Construction

    These boots are amazing, I love that they’re waterproof and are steal toe. I’m a project engineer and steal toes are required on-site. The only problem I had were the boots were a little narrow, I don’t have really wide feet so I didn’t order them in extra wide or anything. But I got blisters on the sides of my toes and heels for the first two weeks. They’re more comfortable now after wearing them for a month, hopefully I continue to wear them down a bit for more comfort. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase.

    Love these! I need a new pair of steel toe boots for site visits and had trouble finding a decent pair that fit well. These run a bit small so size up, but they're super comfortable, fit well, and look good too. I already got a second pair

  • ★★☆☆☆Construction/carpentry

    As someone else said, I really wanted to love these shoes. They are really cute and definitely waterproof but I wouldn’t say they are durable or comfortable. I am a rather small size 6 but had to return mine for a size up, which came promptly. They 6.5 was more comfortable but I think just cause they are handmade there are gonna be some inconsistencies, I thought it just needed to be broken in but it feels like the right corner of the steel toe but is bent in a little more than the other shoe (it’s manageable just not incredible comfy) so if you order I would suggest getting two sizes up. Also, within an hour of working (building a fence) the suede was damaged (again, manageable). I do like them but for the price I would go with a different brand. I am still happy I got to support this brand but there’s definitely some room for improvement.
