Why I'm in the Venus Network

Launching a new brand is never easy, particularly when you are doing it on your own.

I joined the Venus Network to be part of a professional network of women, who I can learn from and grow alongside.

For me Venus represents and investment in myself, my business and the community in which I live.

Testimonials

Our boots have taken America by storm, and now it is time for Oceania to take their place in the sun. We have over 1000+ reviews - however here are few local examples to share with you:

"This is amazing! I have been waiting over 10yrs for 'nice' steel caps to be a thing. Well done! I know where I'll be getting my next pair from" - @renovatewithjenjones

"Thank you so much for my new Gravity safety shoes. It's so nice to have a safety toe shoe that actually looks nice and is comfortable to wear. I work in the logging industry and a requirement of my job is to wear a safety boot. The main part of my job is in a retail environment, so these boots are awesome. Fast delivery and exceptional customer service." - Kerry H. (Logger)

"I stand on my feet up to 12 hours on most days. I walk constantly between departments on normal days and weekly work in the warehouse unloading freight. I needed something comfortable yet sturdy to keep up and last. I’ve destroyed so many shoes that I knew I needed something more long lasting. I’m so glad I found this company and my new work shoes. For being steel toe they are COMFORTABLE. Definitely glad I sized up as I’m sure that would have killed me. Worth the price! Buy the shoes girl." - Vanessa N (Retail)

"Just to let you know my shoes arrived and they fit perfectly. Thank you for answering all my questions patiently. Love them and will be showing them off at work. Few ladies that will be interested. None of them particularly like their safety's 🤣." - Roselle P. (Distribution)
