Why you’ll love Ridgeway.

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.

Love these boots
Just sliding my foot into the boots for the first time my feet and my whole body said we're home. They are great on the trail and around town.

I can actually feel the ground!

Best barefoot shoe for winter

Kept my feet completely dry!

The perfect shoe for me

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.

Grippy and Lightweight

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

At just 326 g (W5.5), 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.

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.

Ridgeway for everything you do.

Made to Last.

Like all Xero Shoes, the Ridgeway has a 5,000 mile sole warranty to outlast typical hiking shoes that are supposed to be replaced after 350-500 miles.

Fully Waterproof

The Ridgeway uses our "Xero Tex" technology, featuring a seam-sealed inner bootie, gusseted tongue, and waterproof lining, making them the perfect boot for your wet weather adventures.

Life Changing Comfort

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!

Best hiking shoes ever

I was a big fan of another barefoot brand but they stopped producing one of their hiking models so I decided to go with Xero and I’m not disappointed. I’ll probably get another pair as a spare. They’re perfect. My feet stayed dry and comfy, my toes had enough space. And don’t they just look cool? Please do not change this model. So many companies do it. If not broken, why change? Keep them as they are. They’re perfect! I’ll come back for more for sure ✌️

Too narrow and unsupportive

This boot is nicely made, but sadly it is too narrow for my feet. I had hoped that these boots would solve my foot problem since they advertise that they have a wide toe box. They are not very supportive - but maybe that’s the flat style of the Xero shoe. They also feel really clunky and make a noise when you walk in them - it’s impossible to walk quietly - no sneaking up on anyone. They are also really difficult to get on and off. So all in all they are a big disappointment for a very expensive boot. Sadly I think I have just wasted my money.

Great lightweight boot. Double check sizes

I bought my uk size, despite knowing the euro size in their table wasn’t what I’d expect for my uk size. They were too small. I re-ordered using my normal euro size and they fit well. They are light and comfy. The return process on the first pair was quick and easy

Light and easy walking

I really like the light weight of these walking boots - noticeably less tiring walking and feeling my feet are well supported and protected from the elements. As a lot of my local walks involve both pavement and trails, so I also appreciate these boots have good grip on different surfaces.
