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. 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

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

Slip on and go
I absolutely love these! I love the way they fit. They’re so comfortable immediately… I also love my Ridgeways, which is the same soul. These are my new dress shoes go to shoes great for winter spring transition. I’ve been waiting a long time for my size to come in. These were definitely worth waiting for.

Great, with construction issues
I want to love these boots - they were soft from the start, no break-in needed, and supportive enough for a day on my feet. But within less than a month of wear, I had the stitching on the back of the heel of one of the boots come undone. Seems like an odd place to put a seam, and it was disappointing since I've enjoyed wearing them otherwise. I did reach out and customer service was very helpful, but just wanted to warn folks. I got my usual size 9 and these do run just a bit large, but I like that in boots so I can wear thicker socks with them.

Reward your strong feet with some style!
After physical therapy to fix a hyper mobile foot that didn’t know how to pronate but was locked in a high arch causing pain, Xero became the most comfortable shoe. Never going back! Got these for dresses, jeans, etc. just wear socks initially to protect your legs where the boot rubs at the top.

Roomy Groovy Chelsea Boot
A while back I tried the all-famous Blundstone boots, and they killed my feet. I decided to give these a try since I am attracted to Chelsea boots. (I usually go for lace-up boots.) I love how rugged but soft these boots are. I'm connected to the ground, but feel feet-protected. I've accidentally thrown them on when it was sprinkling outside (and yes, totally easy to slip/throw on), and was worried the rain drop splats ruined them a little. But after they dried, I rubbed them with the palm of my hand, and they went pretty much back to normal- their boots, and should look worn if they're worn haha I usually order a size 9 in boots, and an 8.5 in sneakers. I got these in an 8.5 and they feel perfect. I could have ordered a 9 and they would have felt perfect as well, I think. Leather stretches some over time, and they are roomy enough, so 8.5 works great for me. If you have Raynaud's, and suffer in the toes, I highly recommend Xero Shoes all around. Your feet will thank you!
