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

Solid boots
I was hesitant to try these because of the reviews, but I’m so glad I did. These are incredibly well built, and I love the soles. Great traction with lots of flexibility. I’d also like to add that you should go half size up like they mentioned but be patient. Pull on leather boots need to be broken in and they will form and stretch to your foot. If they don’t start a little tight in the toebox, you will have heel slip when they break in so expect for them to be a little tight in the toes at first. I wore them for a few hours of at a time and then change shoes throughout the day to get them broken in.

Sizes are different than all other shoes but they are amazing.
So far they have been really good the hikers don’t last as long as I think they should but definitely a great shoe for feet and back.

Great all purpose boot!
I have these in both brown and black. They go with jeans or casual slacks and the easy on & off are great in the winter coming in and out. Nothing worse than tying or untying soggy wet laces!

Great boots, but size up…they run small
I initially ordered my regular size 13, but these were much snugger than my lace up Xeros. I returned them for 14’s that fit great. Definitely order a full size up from regular size.

Great boots
My feet are tall, and most boots are uncomfortable out of the box. These were no exception, but an application of Huberd's sped the break in process along nicely. The boots are easy on and easy off without being loose. The soles offer ample ground protection without being thick or bulky, and they are very flexible. My only complaint is the tread pattern. It picks up EVERYTHING. One walk through the chicken house and it's game over. Nothing is cleaning them out but a water hose. Mud, rocks, everything comes along for the ride. They have excellent traction, but it's still a pain. I will likely replace these with an identical pair when the time comes, but I will be investing in a boot brush at every door of my house...
