This boot has the classic Chelsea look paired with a lugged outsole for extra traction. In these boots, you’ll feel confident navigating uneven outdoor terrain, while looking perfectly in place around town. The full-grain leather looks better as it breaks in, and the elastic gore lets you slip in and out of these boots while providing a secure fit, making them a favorite for fall and winter days. Very comfortable and stylish boot that's easy to wear right out of the box without break-in time. The lugged outsole means you can wear this Chelsea boot where other versions might not fare so well. The extra traction makes this a surprisingly capable boot for such a stylish look. With the Ridgeway, the embedded TrailFoam layer (that evens out the bumps) wraps around the upper giving the illusion of thickness. It’s true to the Xero Shoes DNA with a more classic look.Why you’ll love Ridgeway Chelsea

FAQs
We do! We’ve sold Xero Shoes to people in more than 85 countries around the world.
We use the US Postal service to send our shipments. The cost to ship will depend on the weight of the package and the delivery speed you select; several options will be provided at checkout.
All domestic shipments come with tracking. Limited tracking is available for some first class international shipments depending on the country, and full tracking is available with all Priority Express and Express International shipments.
Though almost all of our international orders arrive without incident, we strongly advise you to select Priority Express International or Express International if you live in a country with a less reliable postal service, including (but not limited to) India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Indonesia. We cannot guarantee delivery of packages shipped using First Class International.
International delivery can take anywhere from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on how long your order spends in customs at the border.
Please note that some countries do require the payment of import duties for international shipments above a certain value. We advise you to know the import regulations of your country and understand that you will be responsible for payment of any duties and fees imposed by your government at the border.
All packages will be marked as merchandise; as a commercial shipper, we are not able to mark a package as a gift (if you’re giving Xero Shoes as a gift, that’s not the same as us sending a gift).
Also, check our Stores page. There may be a Xero Shoes dealer closer to you.
After you purchase a gift certificate, you’ll be able to enter an email address for the recipient.

Almost Perfect
Great firehouse station boots. Only minor issue is the black leather is matte suede finish. Would be nice if they were available in a smooth finish to take a shine.

Love these boots … except
Love these boots, actually I love all my Xeros. They (and some foot strengthening exercises) have eliminated my plantar fasciitis. My only complaint about these boots is that they are no good on slippery surfaces. On smooth wet concrete I jumped out of a truck and my feet went right out from under me. One other thing is that after they are wet and you walk inside the soles squeak like crazy when you walk. Saying this they look great and are super comfortable. I can live with the squeaky soles and just try to be extra careful in slippery situations.

Perfect Boot
great boot exceeded my expectations

Almost Perfect
I love these boots and really wanted them to work! I typically wear a size 9.5 in Women's but got the mens boot as I much prefer the color offered over the different brown in women's. After some sizing trial and error, the Men's size 9.5 fit the best- but not good enough sadly. My big toes hit the front of the boot and if I were to size up to a men's 10, the already wide boot would have been much too wide for me. The boot is lovely and exactly what I was looking for, but for now, my search continues...

wish i found these sooner
i love my shoes. i recommend these shoes to all my friends and family. it’s a real game changer in terms of comfort and you don’t sacrifice the style. i wish the site had a print out template to determine your size. It said to size up but i needed to go 1.5 sizes up to get a pair that fit. in the end im still very happy. i didn’t have to pay for any return shipping and they always sent out a replacement free.
