In this episode, Jacqui speaks with Stacey Head, the owner and founder of She Wear, Australian PPE shoe retailer for women. The She Wear concept was born due to the underwhelming options for women working in specialised fields, roles and trades who require compliant good quality safety footwear. Between 2006-2012, our Founder, Stacey property developed and project managed renovations around Brisbane and searched for functional and comfortable, yet stylish work boots for women (particularly after an unfortunate incident on one of her builds). She searched far and wide and was astounded at the lack of choice for women. Options were extremely limited … safety footwear was heavy, ill fitting, designed to fit a man’s foot and just plain boring! After much research and development, due diligence, planning, prototype building (and lack of sleep!) she wear’s first range of safety work boots designed and styled for women, along with a range of other matching workwear accessories, was launched in October 2013. Also discussed in this episode was the Walking Mediation that Jacqui uses which you can download here.
