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.

RWHM-FNRK_Ridgeway_Fallen-Rock_Cerebral_02120.jpg

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.

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.

Please go to Xero Shoes Return Policy page to learn about our 45-day return policy.

These are excellent hiking and running shoes! Waterproof raises the bar! Excellent comfort. The color of blue and rust is attractive. FYI I hiked the Ridgeway National Trail in England several years ago and the lovely coincidence of these shoes also being named Ridgeway is a fun plus! Makes me want to go back to the Ridgeway Trail and hike it again with these shoes! Royce Fitts.com

Enjoying the ahoes

I have waited a few weeks before reviewing the shoes. At first I wondered if they were to loose for my narrow food, but they hold in place well. They are the lightest hiking boot I’ve ever worn. They reaction is amazing. So far I’m quite pleased.

Ridgeway day hikers

Very comfy and good looking boot! I've had two other pair of well known day hikers that just did not work for me (too little space in the forefoot area, too stiff, looked too much like a "hiking boot") but yours is working as advertised. The video promoting it is what prompted me to make my purchase; keep it up and keep on truckin' (oops... just dated myself!).

Love these so far…

My first experience with these minimalist type boots but I’m getting used to them more each day. I wear them while farming so they get abused regularly lol. Really like the light weight too!! I used to run alot and always preferred minimalist tennis shoes so I’m very interested in how well these will hold up under adverse conditions lol!! Not a fan of them being made in China but nowadays, what isn’t…

Great outdoor shoes

Shoe feels and looks well made. I used them as a yard boot on my flower farm and it checks all the boxes. Great grip, comfortable, waterproof, and an old school style. I’m still breaking them in but so far so good.
