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.

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.

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.

great boot, but wide heal

I normally wear a 10-10.5 Xero shoe. I have gone through 5 pairs in the last 3 years, I like the shoes a lot and how they fit. So I tried these boots to replace my Blundstones, most reviews said to go up half a size and I ordered 11s. First review of the boots, sole is flexible and roll them up, the leather is high quality and they are super light with a nice tread. I went for a walk with them and they felt ok, tried a few more walks and noticed the toes are not quite as wide as the shoes but the heals are very wide. I have gotten blisters on my heals now after 6km total of walking because my heals lift out, my big& little toe also has some new callouses forming from being jammed into the boot. I am not sure if this is due to my foot sliding around in the boot or the narrower toe box. overall they are wider than a Blundstones, but I did find them to be pretty floppy on the foot, Blundstones have a narrower heal. If you are in the US they are worth the purchase as you can return them. Living in Canada its not really worth returning and I'm a bit disappointed, maybe I'll try the 10.5s in the future and update this review.

Very Pleased, as Expected

I've yet to purchase a pair of Xero shoes and regret it. At the risk of sounding like an advertisement, this is the simplest way of putting it. But as Xero will most likely publish this, it is sort of an advertisement so oh well. I buy a pair; run, no, love them into the ground, and get another one. I've had the Rideways for a little over a week now and I'm thinking it's going to be more of the same. Break in for me was about 2 hours - walking and standing at work. Now they are like a second skin. The ground feel is a bit diminished by the more robust lugs on the sole but they are every bit as comfy and my feet can still move. I'll stop gushing and simply say that I love these shoes. Well done Xero 🙂

Very pleased

This is my first pair of Xero shoes. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they are. I wear custom orthodics and remove the insole that came with these shoes to accommodate the inserts. They have plenty of toe box room which allows my feet to spread when I walk which is a game changer for me. Much more comfortable to walk. I’m hoping over time my foot pain goes away completely. If Xero could make a waterproof version of these it would be a big plus for those of us who live in places where it snows.

A new fall favourite

I’me a big fan of Xero shoes. I’ve got their candles, runners, trail runners, slippers and more. The Ridgeway is yet another favourite to add to add to the list. These are my new daily wear for the fall. They’re super comfortable, look great with jeans, pair nicely with khakis for a little more business casual look at the office, and fit so comfortably that I’ll wear them regularly when on a long walk with my dog. I’ve switched pretty much entirely to barefoot shoes, and these have perfectly filled a real gap in my collection for those days that call for something a little more stylish.

I love these boots

They broke in super fast. I have hiked in them, worked in them, and worn them casually. The shoe has weathered in really nicely, looks classy and a little rugged. Easy to put on and take off. Can’t say enough good things about them
