About us
"My name is Ana Kraft and I founded Xena Workwear. My inspiration came from an immense frustration. Working as an Engineering project manager, I was required to wear steel-toe boots. The lack of professional footwear options for women like myself was demoralizing. So I designed my own safety shoes to help women feel confident at work. Xenas don't compromise. They safely transition between the facility floor, job site, office, and beyond. We're proud to call Detroit and Milwaukee our home. Located in the beautiful Great Lakes region, these manufacturing hubs embrace the spirit of hard-work, innovation, entrepreneurship, and friendly hospitality. Say hi by sending us a note!" -Ana Kraft | Founder & CEO

This week, we’re celebrating Women in Construction—the trailblazers, problem-solvers, and innovators shaping the built world. 👷♀️💪 Yet, despite their impact, women in construction still face barriers, from outdated stereotypes to lack of proper gear. At Xena, we’re here to change that. By designing workwear that prioritizes both safety and style, we empower women to show up with confidence and take their place in every job site, boardroom, and beyond. Let’s keep pushing boundaries, breaking barriers, and building a more inclusive future—one step (or steel toe) at a time. 👢🚧 #WomenInConstruction #BuiltToLead #XenaWorkwear

It’s exciting to see how far we’ve come in the expansion of products for women in construction. Having worked in a male-dominated industry for the last eight years it was tough finding items made for women let alone something that felt empowering at the same time but wow has that changed! Owning work wear that can keep up with me and the demands of my industry is essential. A big thank you Xena Workwear for handcrafting professional work boots that I can feel good in and stay safe in at the same time. If you happen to pass by a set of stylish pink bottom shoes running around the resort, feel free to say hello 😁 👷🏻♀️🥾👋🏼 Ana Kraft #womeninconstruction #spiceboot

This week we are celebrating all women and girls in science. Gender equality in science is crucial for building a better future for all, yet women and girls continue to face systemic barriers and biases in pursuing scientific careers. Closing the gender gap in science requires breaking stereotypes, promoting role models to inspire girls, supporting women's advancement through targeted programs, and fostering inclusive environments. At Xena we will keep changing perceptions, collaborating with partners who empower women and girls and we'll keep working on one thing we do best: provide the gear women need to thrive in non-traditional careers 💪 Let's keep supporting and inspiring each other to make our world a better place for everyone. We all can make a difference! One step at a time 👢
