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.

Caring for your Xero Shoes

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.

Great boots! Order full Size up

These are comfy all day, slip on easy, keep the water out and stay grippy even in light mud/dirt. Overall very satisfied with them. I would recommend you size up 1 full size erring on the larger. for example I am usually a 8.5 or 9 depending on brand I have a 9.5 and they fit with thicker socks but occasionally my toe will touch the front. I think I could have gone with a 10 and still been happy. If you only wear thin socks maybe stick to the half size up.

After getting the right size, love these

After initially getting these in a 10.5 (half a size up from normal) and having my toes squished pretty badly, I exchanged them for a pair of 11.5s. Exchanging was a breeze, btw. The new ones fit and feel great. The tread is great for icy winter and they feel quite durable. They are just the right amount of warm, and taking the insoles out makes them great for all day wear in and out of the office!

Most comfortable boots

I wasn't sure about these because they don't have a way to "cinch " them up like the rest of the Xero shoes. Once i received them I realized I'd worried for no reason. These are THE MOST comfortable boots I've gotten in a long time! I LOVE them! Thank you for making such a perfect pair of boots!

Not the best fit

I originally ordered a half size up on these as recommended and got a 10. However, they felt a bit small in the width and toes so I exchanged for a 10.5. The 10.5 feels good in the width but now they fit me a bit long. My biggest complaint is that there seems to be too much room around the ankle (as a few other reviews have also mentioned). This means that the boot doesn’t fit as securely around the ankle as I would hope. At first I thought I could make it work, but after the second wear I walked around for just 1 hour and the back of my heel had formed a blister from all the movement. These shoes look great and might work for some, but unfortunately they don’t seem to be a good fit for me.

Great for users of custom orthodics foot support

This is my second pair of men’s Chelsea boots (different color). I wear custom orthodics inserts and need a pair of shoes with a large toe box to accommodate the inserts and still leave room for my toes to flex as they should. These shoes give me that room, plus I like the minimalist feel while I’m walking. If you wear custom orthodics I recommend you give these shoes (boots) a try.
