Spice EH Safety Boot Reviews — Part 14 of 14

The pair i will be back for time and time again ......

I bought these boots to wear when riding. Horses often step on your toes during grooming and I didn’t want that to happen again! I ride English and This style exactly like the equestrian paddock boots I typically wear. These are extremely comfortable and so well made! The other riders at the barn are planning to buy these when they need their next pair of boots! Thank you for all the great customer service before and after I received my package.

I love my new boots! Still breaking them in but I had to exchange for a slightly smaller size and decided to change to the limited edition color while I was at it. This was not seamless through the online return system but reaching out to customer service was a breeze and they were so very helpful! I absolutely love this company and the boots so far. I’ve now be questioning if it’s normal to where a protected toe in every outfit everywhere I go?!? Thank you Xena for taking care of the girls in both function and style!

I am obsessed with these boots! Xena Workwear was highly recommended to me by a friend, so I was super excited to buy my first pair. I will say that I had to order up a whole shoe size and wear them a while before they were broken in. However, once they are broken in, they are incredibly comfortable! I've even been wearing them outside of work because they are just so stylish. Thanks, Xena Workwear, for creating shoes that are safe, beautiful, and comfortable.

Fit right out of the box and great customer service.

I love how light and stable these boots make me feel. I was wearing safety shoes because they were lighter on my feet than boots but my ankles needed more support. If I knew then what I know now I would have switched sooner! The only thing I have is that I walk heavy on my heel and I needed to put in my own insole to help with that. But I love how powerful these boots make me feel I now have one in every color! Thank you for making these for us women in the STEM fields!

I needed a new pair of work shoes that provided foot protection, but was also was non-slip and comfortable for a full day on my feet. I’ve found other shoes and boots that cover most or all of those requirements, but were always clunky and ugly. These cover everything I needed, non-slip, protect my feet, comfortable, ankle support and as an added bonus they are so cute! Huge fan!

My new favorite boots! They are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. I literally stare at my feet when I walk around now cuz I am soo in love with my new pair!

I love the Spice EH boots! I'm on my second pair now and find them to be comfortable and extremely durable in using them for my work involving hazardous waste handling/spill response. They're perfect for their chemical resistance and steel toes while also having a discreet, sleek appearance that allows me to easily transition between field and office-based settings.

I love my pair! They had a factory defect but support responded very quickly and the problem was solved within a day. Fit phenomenal and look beautiful!

I love these boots!

I love these boots so much! They are comfortable and look super cute. These are actually a replacement pair for the ones I bought two years ago that are now falling apart at the seams after being worn every single day for a year and a half. I have nothing but compliments for this company, the quality of their products, and the positive impact they are making on the manufacturing world.

Very comfortable and stylish. The other workers were very intrigued where I got my PPE. They couldn't believe these boots 🥾 were protected steel toes

Great boots! Beautiful and used with 4 fulls days on a job site and were very comfortable.

Genuinely the most comfortable shoes

Boots definitely take some breaking in. After that, they’re great. They’re lighter than other work boots and actually come in my size!

Perfect

After a short break in period, these are super comfortable and provide great arch support. I love that I can get them on and off quickly with the zipper but still have the laced up look.

Great boots good look and can wear casually without looking like Frankenstein. I wish I would have order taller boots I twisted my ankle in the ones I got .. would like to order another pair when I have enough money too

I bought my Spice steel-toe boots a year ago to protect my feet while preparing our property for building. This year, I decided to take a motorcycle course to learn to ride and figured the boots would work well enough for the State protective gear requirements. On the second day of the class, I dropped the bike during u-turn maneuvers. The bike caught might ankle and landed on my right foot. It took two strong men to get the bike off me. I sustained a bit of physical damage from the fall, including a compressed foot. BUT...the boots did the job. My foot was largely protected and I didn't break my ankle. AND, they still look good. With some buffing and polish, I think I have many more wears out of the beautiful boots. FYI...the male triage nurse in the ER was super impressed with the boots in both function and form. Bonus, the zipper kept them from having to cut it off. Thank you, Xena!

So comfortable and cute, fit perfectly!

I had Red Wing shoes about 10 years ago that were more similar in style to an athletic shoe rather than boots. They were fairly comfortable and were great quality, but after a weekends' worth of 12-hour days in an auto plant going up and down mezzanine stairs, they felt SO HEAVY. These new Xena boots are so lightweight, and I love the leather uppers since they'll mold to my foot over time. The ankle support of the combat boot is so nice and helps reduce fatigue. They fit true to size and are very comfortable. They also look great in person. I don't have to wear safety shoes too often, but I'm so glad these are the ones I get to wear when I do.

Very comfortable and holding up well. I get tons of compliments on them

I LOVE these!! I wear a size 8 and that’s what I ordered. I did not size up. They are the perfect size. Took about 5 days to break in. I will definitely order from this brand again, and will 100% recommend to any woman wanting stylish work shoes. I really want the pink bottoms, but they didn’t have my size. Please restock :)

I needed to quickly buy some steel-toe shoes that I would be able to wear on tour. Over the course of two weeks I wore my Spice EH Steel Toes over a variety of roof tops. Having broken them in very little, my feet never hurt. They felt well supported through 12 hour days up and down ladders, stairs and miles of walking. Because I was living out of a suitcase, I used these as my rain shoes - which kept my feet very dry and prevented any slipping. I wear a size 8.5 in On Cloud and Hoka. I initially got these in an 8.5 and the Rogue/Omegas in a 9. All of them were too big. The Rogue looked cool but didn't feel as supported as the Omega/Spice. When I reached out to Xena to swap the shoes they were soooo easy to contact, so responsive and soooo helpful. I got the Omega in an 8.5 and the Spice in an 8. Both fit very nicely and felt comfortable but I liked the aesthetic of the Spice - which is what I kept. TLDR - Very happy with my purchase. Great customer service. And I believe these will suit me well over the next 6 month straight of travel through long mileage, rain, ladders and uneven work surfaces.

I love these boots. I bought my first pair in 2022 and my second in 2025. The second one were the pink souls and the souls started to fall apart with in a year. Im pretty sure it was cuz they were limited edition but my first pair are still going strong. Im going to buy another pair soon cuz my first pair are getting scratched up and losing traction after 5 years. Oh and I wear them literally every day. To town, at work (mechanic and i use to build freezer doors), and around the farm, and SxS adventures. Love these boots. The picture is 5 year old boots

Gteat fit! Empowering

Great shoe and super cute. My only issue is if you have wide feet the steel toe is not wide enough. If they would widen the steel toe for the wide shoes it would be 5 stars instead of 4 stars.

It is so easy to find good steel toe boots. However, it is not easy to find boots that look good, but also have a good style. I love my boots, super cute and comfy!

I love my boots, it took a few days to break them in but they feel great! Thank you!

So comfortable right out of the box !

Comfortable, stylish and with a steel toe. Just what I was looking for!

Shoes are an amazing color and very profession for work setting, however they do not last. I got these shoes March 28, 2025 and would interchange wearing them. Well, this year I decided to wear them 4 times and the zipper completely got tattered. So I can’t zip it up at all on the right boot. Very pricey boot to be having this type of wear and tear so fast.

I cannot give this company enough Stars! I absolutely love my Spice Xena Boots! I initially ordered a size 10.5 wide (which is my usual size for regular shoes). I tried them on in my home and decided they were too tight so I exchanged them for a size 11, and that size fit way better. There was maybe a couple days of a wear-in period, and I do switch these out with 2 other steel toed boots for work. I wear steel toes every day, all day, so having a few pair that all fit well is a must. For reference, if anyone is trying to figure out what size is best, I have a pair of Ariat pull on steel toed boots in size 10, which fit perfectly. So I did size up an entire size for these Spice boots. Another amazing experience with my purchase, I had an issue with my boots only a few months in. I was able to contact customer service and they responded promptly and helped me handle the problem quickly. I will definitely be ordering from Xena again in the future.

I love my new boots! Not only can I wear them in the shop, they look nice enough to wear inside the office. They are very comfortable to wear all day!

I have worn these every day to work for the last two years as a Manufacturing Engineer. They are still in great shape and fit like a glove. They function exactly how I need them to but also look great when going from office to manufacturing floor. Highly recommend!

I go to a job site about once a week and so far these boots have been amazing! (Lightweight and comfortable.) I love the zipper on the side so I don't have to spend a ton of tine relacing. Great arch support too!

I really loved the quality I’m still breaking them in and have some issue with my toes rubbing against the front from slipping not sure if it due to wrong size or wrong lace style. Would definitely recommend them!

Bought these boots for satellite integration and they have quickly become my favorite shoes. The break-in process was much faster and less painful than other work boots I have had. I was hesitant to spent this much on boots but I'm glad I did. They are very comfy and seem like they will last a long time.

I just wanted to reach out to let you know that I absolutely love your work. I remember coming across your boots some time ago and eagerly anticipated them coming available. I work in an industrial aquaculture business and I struggle with feeling like myself, while on the job. My femininity is shrouded by high vis, clunky men’s boots and ill fitting pants. My footwear is so important to me as I am on my feet all day, constantly moving and I also require a safety toe. These boots are incredibly sexy! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

They are good. Nice

I love a good pair of Work-boots. These fit and work well; however, I love my brown pair (Dark Lava) color so much more! That is the only reason it's a 4 out of 5. The dark lava ones are more flexible in the ankle, making them more comfortable for me overall. If a black version of them comes out, I'm getting them! I will say the black does hold up to scuffs well & I'll be trying to treat the surface with what the company recommends to help them last even longer. I will say the inserts for the shoes don't quite last a full year, but wearing them daily has their impact resistance diminish over time. My work has me in need of the arch flash protection, steel toe (or composite), and anti-slip/chemical resistant; though the slip-resistant doesn't seem like much, it definitely does way better than sneakers. Glad to find a pair of shoes that has me covered in all aspects of my job.

This is my second time buying Xenas. I decided to come back because I love how cute the boots are. While I'm not required to wear steel toes on site, being both EH rated and steel toed gives me the peace of mind I need to move around with confidence. I love the look of these boots and the feel is great.

I buy a pare of these every year. Comfortable, gives me good support when I'm on my feet all day, and the easy on and off zipper is so appreciated. I've got wide feet and having the wide options is a game changer. Especially with steel toe boots.

As a smaller woman, I’ve been so let down by the bigger name brands when it comes to protective gear. For boots especially, I have spent over $230 for a pair only for them to be super heavy and unbearable for more than a couple hours at a time. When these arrived, I slipped them on and felt so excited because they aren’t heavy, they’re soft, and they fit SO well!! And on top of that, I actually love how these look. I feel assured that they come with a card and list the ASTM certification they have, so I know I’m safe in these. Why do work boots have to be so ugly and painful when they can be like this?! My life is changed.

They fit well from the moment I tried them on, exactly as I had hoped and as described. Material seems very high quality and like it will last several years in the field. The boots are super comfortable with the insole inside and I feel like I could wear them all day with no issue!

These boots are way lighter than I expected them to be and are incredibly comfortable right out of the box. I'll definitely be buying another pair!

10/10 very cute and fairly comfy. I hate how there aren't a lot of girly blue collar apparel and this brand is itching that spot. I can't wait to get the sneaker steel toes next!!

I absolutely love my Xena Spice EH Safety Boots! They have become my dailies. I particularly appreciate the ankle support and the style of lace up, while being able to unzip quickly. I’m particularly tickled when the crew think that I’m not wearing safety’s and I have to remind them that I’m all set. Thanks so much, Xena team. I feel like a woman again!
