I cannot express how much I love these boots, it took 20 years of looking and I finally found exactly what I was looking for. Customer for life. The range in sizes especially smaller sizes is something I thought I would never find. I had to actually return my first pair as they were too small, something I have never experienced before. The exchange process was incredibly easy. I finally found a shoe I can wear that is work appropriate, but also I didn’t shock myself or anyone else while wearing them . These have been a go to almost every day since purchasing and I am heartbroken my size in the other color was already sold out or I would have purchased the second pair when exchanging the first pair. Please bring these back and add other colors!!

This company and their boots came highly recommended by a colleague. I haven't had a chance to use these boots outdoors yet, but they are beautifully made, great leather quality, comfortable so far, packaged with much care and the communication throughout the order process and delivery was seamless. These are the perks of purchasing from a small business, the personalized care and service. I highly recommend XENA and their products.

Rainbow Greenhouse

I’d love my boots. I was looking for something that was a little bit more fashionable than your typical steel toed. I’m a vendor and I work for Rainbow greenhouses in a Home Depot store. I spend a lot of time out in the rain in the winter. I live of Vancouver Island in Canada and our winters are very wet. The boots are an absolutely wonderful fit. I do recommend you take your measurements. All of your measurements including your calf. My boots fit like a glove. In fact I even wear them when I go out just to shop. They are not heavy. They look really good with a sweater dress and leggings or jeans or even a rain suit. It’s nice to be able to have something fashionable in a working industry that actually functions like a steel toe but feels like nice soft leather boots. Keep up the excellent work. Thank you for thing about us ladies. Tammy Hewitt

These are amazing! Takes a little break in period but it’s so nice to look great and not have to switch shoes to go out on plant floor. Finally fashion and safety come together! Highly recommend!

Honestly has to be one of the best pair of boots I have ever purchased! The quality is there! They are beautifully made and designed with a female in mind, which is the best part! I still have some breaking in to do but all in all they feel really comfortable. Has a female rider it's always hard to find something that is safe but stylish as well. The Nove EH happens to be both!. I do with there was ankle protection but I know they aren't made for motorcycles (hopefully soon, fingers crossed) Thank you Xena Team and designers on creating a beautiful product♡

Motorcycle Rider

I wore my new Xena Riding boots (wide) with a real steel toe for their first time maiden voyage on 5/25/21 with (LOH) Ladies of Harley for a Dinner Ride! I drive a 2017 RoadGlide Special. The boots are phenomenal they are much lighter in weight than my other 16 inch Engineer Boots with steel toes. They were men’s boots that weigh about 3 pounds per boot, that I wore Riding/ Driving motorcycles for about 25 years. These boots are so comfortable. Our dinner ride was about 3.5 hours round trip. My feet felt like they were riding a sunshine breeze! This are hands down the best and most comfortable boots l have ever own. I also wore them to our chapter meeting at Wild Prairie Harley Davidson in Minneapolis, MN. I received many compliments on them and they asked were I got them so I told them I bought them online from Xena. Please send me some business cards. Lets get the word out to all Women so they know they can wear your product to work, dinner or casual! These boots are a God send and I love them! Peace, Love, and Blessings

Where do I start? I now own three pairs of these amazing work boots. I work in the lab and we are required to wear FRC (Fire Resistant Clothing). We also have the option of wearing street clothing but with a lab coat. Wearing street clothes with non-Xena workboots is okay if you're wearing casual, plain t-shirts and jeans. Now I can wear business casual and meet code while looking professional! I love it! After reading the reviews I ordered the brown Nova riding boots in size 9 since I normally wear a size 8 1/2 shoe. I debated on whether to get the narrow or regular calf size and finally decided on the regular. They fit great! I thought the calf was a tad bit roomy so when I ordered a second pair in black I got the narrow calf. They fit snug and comfy. Honestly, I could not tell you which calf size I prefer. Maybe the narrow calf because I just love the snug fit. I would not describe my legs as "skinny" either but I have always received compliments (men and women) on my legs so I am guessing that they are considered "shapely". That statement is for anyone trying to figure out whether to get narrow or regular size boots. The BEST feature is that these boots accommodate my custom made orthotics. The VA (Veterans Affairs) provided me with only one pair and I have to remove/insert them into each pair of shoes I wear. Unfortunately, it is rare for my inserts to fit most shoes unless I order them from a specialty shoe store that makes shoes specifically for accommodating custom orthotics (expensive). In fact, only once have my orthotics fit shoes I purchased from a regular shoe store. Imagine my delight when my custom orthotics fit my Xena work boots! I also have the Omega ankle boots and my orthotics fit in those too! I have received several compliments on these boots at work. My boss even asked me to write down the name of the company so that she could check them out too! Several of my female co-workers have asked me where I purchased my boots and I am always happy to share! I will never purchase my steel-toe work boots from any where else.

Funeral Service

I have been working in Funeral Service for over 5 years. I needed a functional but comfortable shoe to get me through the long hours I work on my feet. These are my go to work boot! They help keep my feet safe and warm. And they also offer protection when I am working with hazardous chemicals. They are complimented by my coworkers and friends. I love how fashionable they appear. I wear them with pant suits and with dresses and skirts. I have a narrow calf and they fit me fine, even with thicker socks. But I agree with other reviews, size up and go for the wide calf option if you have anything other than a skinny calf. Thank you Xena for creating something for us hard working women!
