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

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 11.5 oz. (W7), 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!

FAQs

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 shoes. Went to a barefoot shoe after my trainer had me train shoes less. I’ve only tried Xero shoes and I now own three pairs. It’s so nice to feel grounded when hiking and what was strange at first is my new normal.

These are my second pair of Ridgeways. They are comfortable and the waterproofing held up better than any other brand I've tried over the years. (I live in an Alaska rainforest - 13 feet of rain per year so that is a big deal) The bad part of both of my Xero models are that the Ridgeway's stitching failed, leaving a big hole and the other pair has the sole separating from the upper. Both worn for just over a year probably about and average of 10 hours of rough trail time weekly for each pair. Liked them enough to buy again, however!

I Have Already Ordered Two More Pairs!

These shoes are amazing for your posture. I have struggled with hip and back pain and my therapist recommended barefoot style shoes. I tried these on and I was instantly amazed at how it corrected my walk! I ordered my second pair ten minutes later.. don't hesitate to try these. I can't recommend enough!

First Xeroshoes purchase

Bought these to replace my Merrell work boots. I am on my feet all day for my job and unfortunately got bunions from my Merrell boots I wore for almost three years. I've work these Xeroshoes for a week and I very much appreciate the wider toe. The laces are also easier to tie and untie than most boots I've owned. I did, however, have to replace the insoles with XStance insoles for my own comfort. The insoles that came with them made me feel extremely off balance and I almost fell a few times while climbing stairs. I gave these 4 stars instead of 5 due to the overall purchase experience. These shoes did not in fact arrive within 10 business days and I had no updates on the shipping until I reached out directly to customer service, which took a few days to respond to me. The shoes themselves were a worthwhile purchase but I'm thankful I didn't have to return them and deal with slow shipping/communication.

Wonderful - straight on and straight out the door

I am used to Xero summer shoes but this is my first pair of hiking boots. Terrific! I headed straight out for a three hour mini-hike and they are perfect. (And they look super cute too! bonus!)
