Customer Reviews Xena Workwear Omega EH Safety Boot

I have been working in construction and heavy industry 30 years, it wears on your feet. I found Xena and decided to give them a try. So far I love them. Had to oder a full size up, but they broke in beautifully and are so light , not 10 pounds of mens clunky heaviness!! Waiting to see about longevity, I am skeptical but hopeful.

The toes were a little tight should have gone up another half size

The boots are not necessarily the most comfy but it's definitely the nicest-looking steel toe boots you could find (or I could find at least). Only thing is that I have tiny feet size 5 but they don't have size 5.5 and I don't want to go up full size. I just have to wear really thin socks so my pinky toes don't hurt. Most of the time I'm just sitting in the office (inside a production floor) so I decided to keep these. Wish they can make size 5.5 for other styles in the future.

The boots a little hard to get broke in. The BB fit different that the BLK, which I find odd. But overall a great boot and I cant wait till you offer a WIDE calf in the tall boot, cause not all women have small calves.

I really love the style and comfort. Unfortunately, I need to return my boots and get a half size larger. Im typically a size 9 but I really need to go with a 9.5 or possibly a 10.

Finally!! I have stylish, comfortable, steel toe boots to wear to work. I cant get across how great these are! Buy them, Ive searched high and low and theres nothing else that compares in the market.

Definently not the most comfortable boots I've ever bought for work. They look nice and have good slip resistance, but the edge of the steel toe is painful.

I LOVE my Xena's! But ladies...make sure you think about what size to get before you order. I typically wear an 8.5 and occasionally get a 9 of the shoe brand runs small. I was reading other people's reviews that said to go up a half size...so I thought a 9 would fit perfect! I originally ordered the 9 and was uncertain when the shoes fit SUPER snug. Like they weren't at the point of hurting, but I could imagine them hurting after a long day at work. I wore them around the house while working from home to give them one last try, and after consulting with Xena's support members, decided to go with the 9.5. They were great about exchanging them. The shipping took a while. However, once I got the 9.5 I was holding my breath all over again because they were too big! My solution...I got dr. Scholl inserts to put inside them and now they fit amazingly and are super comfy. I have worn them at work and on the construction site a few days now and love them. I also think it is funny, I saw all the reviews of girls getting compliments on their boots on their first day of wearing them, and ironically that happened to me too! A receptionist at the hospital we were inspecting construction in came up to me and went "I love your boots! So cute" and didnt even know they were work boots. Overall, I LOVE my Xena's! But just for reference, sizing was a nightmare. I'm just so glad they fit comfortably in the end.

I love my Zena boots. They are very comfortable and I can wear them in warehouses and in a office setting. I have never put on a safety shoe that has not hurt my feet and I have been wearing them off and on for 20 years. Thank you!

Great looking boots. Delivery was quick. Love the ratings to stay safe in many scenarios. That said, the negative - sizing. These run half a size smaller than stated even tho the size chart says true-to-size. Lost one star as they are a half size small. By this I mean that their size chart says US 12 / EU 44. When I got the box, it says US 12 / EU 43.5. I wear an EU 44-44.5 sometimes need a wide. These definitely were on the tight side, especially for my bigger foot, and while I love the steel toe, it also means no give in that area. Will keep them for when they are needed for safety, but was definitely a small let down as I won't wear them unless I have to, even though they look great. Hope the size chart gets updated. I have the Gravity in size US 13 / EU 45 which fits with a little room for my foot to move around, and are said to run a half size small, so roughly 44.5. Thus, I was hoping the "true-to-size" "44" Omega would fit without sliding room, but are subsequently cramped, as they are marked as a 43.5, which I wouldn't have ordered. Otherwise, great shoes. But need size chart updating. The US 12 is an EU 43.5, labeled on the box, and seems accurate on the foot.

Had to order a size up in order to even get these on, even with thin socks. Leather is pretty stiff and will take some time to get it to a point where it feels comfortable and easy to slip on. Don't get me wrong, I love these boots and these are WAY better than other boots I've worn in the past.

To start out, these boots are stylish. I have had many compliments from employees at work. I wore them in my home for a couple of days to make sure they were the right fit and then I was confident enough to wear them to work. The building that I work in is 35,000 square feet and after a few days of working my left heel was hurting so horribly bad I had to go back to the $25.00 pair of work boots that I purchased from a local store. I'll have to get creative and figure out a way to break them in so I can continue to wear them because I do live the style and the material they are made of.

I love these new shoes! I have received many compliments after JUST putting them on. I still have to break them in a little more as they were stiff to put on but I have high hopes and thin socks! Very happy.

This is the first pair of steel toe boots Ive owned. I appreciate that theyre not clunky man shoe. It took several days to breaks them in. I ordered a 1/2 size larger but have has to stuff the toe otherwise my feet slide. The toe width is narrow. Hopefully it will give a bit more with time.

Beautifully made shoes, highly recommend. Except the first two weeks of wearing gave me blisters on my feet. Other than that its a lovely work boot. Super stylish, great price, and once broken in very comfortable

Boot fit comfortable out of the box. Fit with room around my ankles. Would only change the zipper black for the black boots. Had to use a black permanent marker on the zipper to wear them at work.

I'm a woman plant manager who spends time with customers, suppliers and in business meetings, but also as much time as possible in production. It's a dual role and it needs a dual role shoe and those are hard to find for women. I can't wear a steel toe pump or "loafer" on the floor and not feel lame. I can't wear a lace up hiker steel toe in a meeting and feel right either. Men have it so much easier for shoes. These are expensive, but they are the best looking steel toe I've had or seen. Appearance wise - I can justify the price tag. Comfort wise - I am not overwhelmed with joy. They are quite stiff around the ankle to the point of kind of pushing my ankle forward. They are very hard to get on - need to use that loop or else it will not happen. They don't seem deep from sole to top, so I have to wear pretty thick socks to avoid rubbing. I am hoping they break in a little bit, as I couldn't wear them for an 8-12 hour shift on concrete. If you have high arches or are on the cusp of 1/2 size in your normal shoe - I would go 1/2 size bigger with these.

I actually have the BLACK ones (sigh, long story) but I have found them to be very comfortable and stylish. The soles and footbed are very comfortable. The ankles are invisibly padded. I have a high instep and zipping is a bit tight but I know it will stretch. They are far less heavy and clodhoppy than other steel toed shoes / boots. You can wear them from the plant to a business dinner without looking like you just stepped off an oil rig. They are pricey but the team did a good job following up on a few order issues and expediting my boots so I would have them when I needed them. I size up 1/2 size to ensure a problematic toe would be comfortable ;) I would recommend to anyone looking for a stylish high quality safety boot.

I love having a pair of boots I can wear from the shop to meetings and not feel the need to change my shoes to be appropriate in each place. Size wise, I usually wear an 8.5, which is what I got, but the toe box felt too tight, so I returned for a 9. The shoe itself feels a little big, but my toes don't feel squished now either.

These boots look amazing! I would love to give 5 stars however after two weeks my small toes are quite sore.

The boots are beautiful and people don't know they are steel toe so they are always asking me if I'm wearing the proper shoes. The soles are comfortable. The toes could be just a little bit wider for my feet. I am still breaking them in though so they will likely get more comfortable when they are more worn. I love them so far. Thank you!

Love the Omega boots! Soft leather and easy to put on to head out the door. Worth every penny!

The packaging, quality, color, zipper, and material are great! The only thing that's a bit of a downer is my right shoe widened much more than the left shoe, so I had put in some insoles to create a snugger fit. That did help, but I feel like Im slipping out of the right shoe and therefore I'm walking with my toes lifted its hard to explain. Since Im in hot & humid Houston/TX wearing thicker socks isnt really an option. If you ever make snugger fitting shoes, Id love to try them! (the new olive green color would be my favorite). Thanks!

After trying 7 different styles of safety shoes I finally found THE pair. Very comfortable and has taken only a few weeks to break-in to the point where they can be worn all day. The color was slightly disappointing. It was very yellowish and not the rich brown as shown in the picture. Also, the zippers are on the outside of the boot which feels backward to me when putting them on. I am proud to support women in business and will be sure to spread the love to my female co-workers about the beautiful workwear by Xena.

I love the look of these shoes. They are very lightweight as well. However, I wish the toe box were a bit wider or that the shoes came in a wide option. Overall, I am happy with the purchase I just wish the steel toe portion were wider.
