Product Description

“I hated the way hiking boots looked and felt… until I found these. My feet stay protected, and I LOVE the style.”
– Ed M.

RIDGEWAY – Look Good On and Off the Trail

Combine the allure of retro style with cutting-edge barefoot-friendly technology, and you get the Ridgeway – a hiking boot with a rugged canvas upper with suede accents. It’s ready to conquer technical trails with friends and comfortable enough to enjoy a beer afterward.

Your Wet Weather Companion

The Ridgeway is not just stylish and comfortable; it’s also waterproof, with a fully seam-sealed inner bootie, gusseted tongue, and waterproof membrane.

A “Midsole Illusion”

It might look like the Ridgeway has a thick midsole. Actually, we took our embedded TrailFoam layer (that evens out the bumps) and wrapped it around the upper giving the illusion of thickness. You’ll still enjoy the flexibility and natural movement you expect from Xero Shoes.

Grippy and Lightweight

Confidently navigate the terrain with an aggressive trail-ready lugged outsole.

At just 13 oz. (M9), the Ridgeway is lighter than most technical boots, but even lighter than many running shoes.

Embrace brisk mountain mornings, wet trails, or cozy evenings by the fire with the confidence that your Ridgeway boots have your back.

WE MAKE HIKING SHOES SO COMFORTABLE, YOU’LL FORGET THEY’RE EVEN ON.

If your feet don’t feel as good at the end of the day as they did in the beginning, you haven’t tried the Ridgeway.

Life-changing comfort and superior performance come from letting your feet do what’s natural – bend, move, flex and feel.

All Xero Shoes feature a wider, foot-shaped toe box that lets your toes spread and relax, a non-elevated “zero drop” heel for proper posture, low-to-the-ground design for perfect balance and agility, and a flexible sole that gives you “just right” protection so you can bend, move, flex, and Live Life Feet First!

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.

Do you ship internationally?

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.

Love these boots

These boots were ready to go right out of the box. They are comfortable, breathable, and offer good ankle support. Love these boots!

A good option for minimalist mountaineering

These are possibly the new best option for minimalist snow/mountaineering boots. Last season I used a pair of Xero Alpine boots for snow and mild mountaineering. They worked pretty well overall but were not great for kicking steps into the snow and had a few other minor issues. The Ridgeway has fixed most of those issues. The sharper, stiffer, saw-like edges of the sole will be much better for cutting into snow. The front of the toebox also has some sort of plastic protection inside that makes it rigid, so kicking steps will be much nicer now. These also work well with Kahtoola flexible crampons. The weight of these boots with crampons installed is still less than most mountaineering boots without crampons. In my opinion the leather and canvas style of these looks much nicer and more premium than the Alpine which has a cheaper plastic-y look, and I like that the branding is more subtle than other Xero shoes. Overall they are pretty comfortable, but the part around the ankles is slightly stiff and could be a little softer. I think these will a great minimalist option for mild-moderate mountaineering. They are not going to be warm enough for extreme cold, and not stiff enough for technical ice climbing, but they should be good for most things short of that, and comfy enough to wear for regular hiking.

Perfect everyday &#55356; work boot.

This boot is exactly what my husband needed for a motorcycle commute and all day work boot. Great waterproofing and look! Xero does it again! Yay!

I am happy with my purchase. They are very comfortable and light weight. They can be difficult to get your foot into. It would be awesome if the top four lace fasteners were the hook style. I have been wearing them for work so they get at least 30 hours a week of wear time and my feet feel great.

The fit is perfect, and the shoes are very comfortable. The sole is very grippy. I couldn't be more pleased.

Forgot I had them on all day

It is said that really great shoes "disappear" from your attention - and I thought that was a myth until now. I get it now and only wish the same for everyone. I'm not sure what else can be said.

So Far, So Good

These are really great work boots so far. I gave them an extra waterproof treatment right out of the box and they have been bone dry at work for a couple weeks. Very comfortable for full work days outside, as all my Xero shoes/boots have been. We'll see how long the waterproofing lasts, I'm in the soaking wet Pacific Northwest and the rainy season hasn't arrived in earnest yet!

Very happy with these shoes.

My wife bought these for me as a gift. I have been a long time fan of vibram five finger shoes, but winter months make those difficult to wear in the Midwest. These give me the nearly the same feeling of being barefoot, but with water proofing and more warmth. I have only been wearing these about a week, but very happy with them so far.
