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.

What great boots, from camping, to running errands downtown to being caught in the rain, these boots delivered.

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.

Disappointing quality for price

I own several pairs of xero shoes at this point and so far haven’t been disappointed in any of them until now. I got my Chelsea ridgeways just over 6 months ago to wear to work - my job requires business dress but is half spent on cemetery grounds where things get dirty/dusty quick. These boots offered the perfect balance of professionalism and utility, but they are already falling apart. Perhaps I should have gone up a half size, but they broke in well and fit comfortably the whole time. Super disappointed 🙁

Fun style.

I have only worn these once so far. I own so many Xero Shoes that I can pick and choose depending on my outfit and the weather. The day I wore these they were very comfy. I did wear some thin toe socks, and they were still comfy. I kept the lining in. They were easy to get on and off. They fit true to my shoe size 6. They were easy for me to drive in! Often shoes like this make it more difficult for me to drive; they feel so clunky and chunky. These Ridgeway Chelsea's do not feel clunky or chunky in any way. I was very impressed in that department. They looked really cute with my low hip jeans. :o) I was leery about getting them due to the price and I have Xero shoes for year round, but I'm glad I made this purchase. A little different and classier style for when I want to take my outfit up a notch (as opposed to sneakers).

Great for everything!

I've worn these boots through the winter and now onto camping and hiking! They are so comfortable after the initial break in period along the back of the shoe. I ordered my usual size 9.

My Favorite Shoes

I love these shoes. I forget I’m wearing shoes and I wear them in all terrain. I wear them in the city, the forest, the rain and shine. I’ve worn mine every day for almost a year and they’re still going strong. They pull on easily and go with most of my outfits whether I’m outside hiking or going to a party or work event. I adore these shoes.

Those boots are beautiful and lightweight but a little too narrow for one foot with bunion. Had to return, regrettably. Nice customer service.
