Why you’ll love Ridgeway Chelsea

Ridgeway Chelsea – Capable, Versatile, and Comfortable

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.

Rugged When You Need It

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.  

A “Midsole Illusion”

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.

To clean your Xero Shoes, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry. We do not recommend putting them in the washing machine or dryer.

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.

You could email it to yourself and forward it at a later time if you like.

You can also take the Gift Certificate code and send it to the recipient.

Best Boots I've owned!

6 months in and I can say these are the best boots I've ever owned. I've grown trust on the build quality that Xero puts out. The shoes have not deteriorated in any notable way. I was happy to see Xero come out with these boots, as the styling offered for greater flexibility of use cases. Well done Xero.

Good boot, but measure your foot!

I followed the sites recommendation of half a size bigger, but 1-1.5 size bigger would've been ideal for thicker socks and I find them tight.

Xero Shoes

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're sorry to hear that the sizing didn’t quite work out as expected. While we suggest going half a size up for comfort, we understand that everyone's fit can vary, especially when considering thicker socks. If you're finding them a bit tight, please feel free to reach out to our customer happiness team. They can help you explore other options or exchange for a different size if needed. We appreciate your feedback and want to make sure you have the best experience with your Xero Shoes!

I’m using these as work boots to replace the blundstones I’ve been wearing for years. I had to size up a whole size to fit the length of my foot and while the length is correct, the top, sides and heel of my foot are floating in a pocket of space. Ideally the boots would be much tighter around the top, sides and back of the foot. I also wouldn’t mind a slightly thicker sole for outdoor construction work. The boots seem to be made well.

Xero Shoes

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you think the boots are well-made, but we’re sorry the fit isn’t quite right for you. Sizing up can sometimes affect the fit around the top, sides, and heel, and we understand how important a snug, secure fit is, especially for work boots. If you haven’t already, trying thicker socks or adding insole adjustments could help improve the fit. As for the sole, we’re always working on ways to enhance comfort and durability, and your feedback is valuable in that process. We hope you find the perfect fit with Xero!

Great boots!

These are rugged minimalist (replicating the feel of bare feet) Chelsea boots. They are super comfortable and seem durable. I’ll admit when I opened them I was shocked by how big they are (I’m a size 14), the shape reminded me of Birkenstocks or Crocs. So, I wouldn’t say they’re the most stylish compared to traditional more narrow boots, but as a result they are much more comfortable with a wide toe box. They are overpriced. I’m satisfied overall.

Awesome Shoes!

I started out with one pair of Xero shoes just about a year ago. I love these shoes and so do my feet. I don't even like wearing any of the dozens of other shoes I have. I now have 6 pairs of Xero shoes in different styles and they are all so comfortable. Thank Xero for making my feet happy.
