Customer Reviews Xena Workwear Omega EH Safety Boot

Compared to the other steel toe boots that I own this were a lot lighter which did help, I did go a size up glad I did. After 3 days just wearing them at home for a couple hours I finally decided to take to work. They were not the most comfortable shoes to stand on all day. My pinky toe was starting to hurt from rubbing on the side of shoe not sure if it was due to the socks I was wearing but I did go ahead changed the insoles and that did help a bit. Over all they are pretty good, nice and light.

These shoes are really cute, but the sizing is a little weird. The 9 was too small and the 9.5 is a little bit too big.

well made, except for the steel toe hits my smallest toe even if i already got a wide size

I really want to love the Xena work boots because I love the ideas of the company and the boot is really well made. However, I wear a size wide foot, and it seems like the shoe is just a little too narrow at the steel part of the boot. I think the design should be adjusted for the wide sized shoes so the steel part is wider (the leather part right after the steel is wide enough). I needed to go up an additional full size (6.5W->7.5W) and my outer toes still rub against the shoe because the steel part is too narrow. Honestly, the shoe can be uncomfortable because of the design flaw. Once the steel part is widened, I think the shoe will be perfect.

These are beautifully crafted shoes. I wish I could find a pair that fits my feet.

Love this boot! Super cute! Only down fall is it is a little tight on the side of my toes. I have never had to wear wide before so maybe that is what I need. Unfortunately I wore them once so I cant return them and see the difference but they are very cute! Hopefully they stretch out! :)

The wide sizes are a godsend. Very comfortable, and wide enough for my feet. I followed the recommendation to size up a half size and they are a little loose length-wise but I think sizing down to my true size would have been too small. Nothing that can't be fixed with a good insole.

Overall I love the boots. I got wide width because I spread my toes out and need the extra space. They are beautiful and Ive gotten lots of compliments on them. They do make my joint where my right big toe connects to my foot hurt, which is worrying (but not the left?). I could use some more cushioning in the insole because I walk on cement floors all day so Im going to swap them out for cushy dr.scholls ones (which I hope help my toe?). I wish the zipper was on the other side of the boot. I recently developed back pain and it was hard to get the boots zipped and unzipped because it was hard to reach. Also if I have to sit on the ground in them and move around the zipper pulls always start poking into the sides of my ankles. Overall I do love the boots and am putting these things in my review incase if Xena is looking for improvement ideas for the boots. If youre looking for a beautiful, classy, hardworking boot, these are a great choice!

Love the boots!

They're very sturdy and I slip on oil a lot less frequently than with my old boots. I wish the treads were a little more "grippy" but otherwise these are the best shoes I've ever had for work.

I find the omegas comfy, I was just surprised how fast they wore out. I work for a paint company, and getting paint on them is inevitable, but the toes scuffed pretty easy within the first week of wearing them to work. J don't want to say that's completely the design because I don't always pick my feet up when I walk, and hit my toes off of things pretty easily; so the steel toes have saved my toes. The zippers also broke off easily; I did contact the company about the zippers, and they were on top of the problem, sending me replacements right away. We're a little difficult to replace, but I finally got them within half an hour.

The size chat size said to go a size up, so I went from 7.5 to 8. I think it is too big but didn't have a chance to exchange the size before having a business trip. I think (because of this) that the rim is not protected enough and even with the right socks the rubbing against my leg feels like the beginnings of a blister. The quality and design is definitely great, but even thicker socks dont make up for going up a size. Great price as well.

I cant argue that they are some of the comfiest and stylish steel toes Ive worn while on the job which is important since I wear them 12 hours a day and like to look fashionable. Boots arrived in the box with scratches in the leather already which was disappointing, but at least can potentially be treatable with a little leather care. I had done an exchange past the date so I guess it makes sense to get other exchanged boots in return.

Gorgeous boots. A size and a half up like they recommend was too big, so I traded in for my regular size. The shoes have no serious insole or arch support, so I needed to purchase insoles separately. There is a seam at the heal that rubs against the back of the ankle, so I had to put in a strip of upholstery tape so I didn't get blisters from the seam rubbing. I love the look of the boot, and fit was perfect after adjustments, so I kept them. However, disappointed to pay the price for a quality boot only to have to make basic adjustments that should not have been needed for the the price of the boot. The boot is well thought out and super nice on the outside, but there are fit items that are not thought out when you get to the inside of the boot.

Theyre comfortable gotten compliments on them. Just need to get use to wearing steel toe boots, feel my feet tired at the end of my shift.

Might I say that it is refreshing to see safety-toe footwear that doesnt necessarily look like safety-toe boots. I bought the Omega Safety Boot (EH) (brown) and I originally bought a 10.5 and after wearing them for a while, I had to size up to an 11. In most shoe brands, I am a 10.5, so I do think that they run a bit small. Additionally, I have wide feet (and bunions), and since these dont allow any room for breaking in at the toes (bc theyre safety-toed), I do wish that Xena offered wide sizes for their sizes 10.5+. I was told that they currently lack some manufacturing capabilities to accommodate this, and I understand but I cannot give a full 5-star review. Also, I bought insoles for these, as I wouldnt say that they are well-cushioned out of the box. I would hope to see better insoles from the factory at the price you pay. I do weigh 170 lbs, so Im not a petite woman, and that definitely plays into it. As an additional note, I personally experienced the lack of consistency that they have with their brown color. My first pair definitely was a pale, yellow brown and my second pair is a more rich, red brown. Both colors are good, but I would definitely say that my size 11s more closely match what is pictured in their website, so perhaps they are able to provide that color on a more consistent basis. All in all, good boot but comfort-wise, I cannot say it is perfect for me due to the sizing limitations and lack of cushion.

Super stylish and confortable I love them

Although they are beautiful, I am returning them due to the narrow and inflexible toe area. I have ordered another pair of wider boots to see if that will fix the fit! Hopefully, it will because I really love the look of the boots.

I think the boots look amazing and ate super cute. The steel toe definately works well. However I have kinda wide feet and so while normally the shoe would fit perfect because of the steel toe it's too narrow in the toe. I already went up a size and I'm afraid if I went up more the shoe would be too big. Overal I still wear them and I hope maybe it won't be too bothersome after awhile. I wish they would make a wider fit.

Stylish and rated for everything I need. Great company with wonderful communication. Ordered half a size up due to steel toe cup. The craftsmanship and packaging is wonderful. Comfort is manageable. Love that they are stylish and can go from work to public life without looking like work boots.

These are the best safety boots I have ever worn. My old bulky ones were from a retail store. I purchased them for $30 and wore them for about 6 years before I got these ones. I even got to the point where I purchased boot cut jeans to wear with my old boots because skinny jeans just didn't jive well. I wore my old ones when necessary only and always had a back-up pair to change into when I was done on site at the construction field. With these shoes, I do not need to have a back-up pair and I even wear these out socially. Cons, it took some time to break into these shoes and I had to buy new socks because the ones I had were pinching at my pinky toes. With a few of these changes, I no longer have issues with the shoes. I will definitely purchase a few more pairs when my budget allows for it. Like most people, my right feet is a tad bigger than my left feet. I would love to, in the near future, be able to purchase different shoe size and width. Especially with the cost and and investment for a pair of shoes like these that will be worn everyday.

Very stylish. Ive gotten a lot of compliments! They could use a little more cushioning. I tried different insoles but the steel toe didnt work well with them. Overall Im satisfied.

The quality of the boots is excellent. My only issue is that I had to go up two 1/2 sizes (from 8.5 to 9.5) to fit the width of my feet. Now my feet look extra long in them. Would be 5 stars if you made them in a W.

I've had these boots about 5 months now. They are my favorite pair shoes which is a heck of a thing to say about safety toe boots. I wear them everywhere. My only complaint is that I would have rather had a 9 wide but instead had to go up to a 9.5. After having them awhile, I think the 9 would have stretched enough to be comfortable.

Got the Bourbon brown. After only 1 day I got a gash in them. So the leather is not very industrial. Been trying to buff it out and fix it watching videos. But still they are very stylish. And probably going to buy the black pair too depending how these hold up. Very comfortable and I bought mine a full size up. Need thicker leather.
