Product Description

“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.

Ridgeway - A retro-inspired waterproof hiker from Xero Shoes

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 326.1 grams (W37.5), 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.

 

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!

Absolutely in love!

Used it for a 3.5hr hike and I loved them!! It was the first time that I didn't feel like I had to take them off as soon as I got to the car. Very comfortable, great grip (it was a very rough and irregular terrain), and lightweight. I totally recommend them!!

Almost perfect .....

The shoes were light and the size I had ordered was perfect for me and they seemed really good quality. There was some nice space for my toes. However the sole was really hard, so my feet felt very tired very quickly, when I tried them on inside my house. I would have needed the sole to be much softer.

Great shoes

I absolutely love the way these shoes look! I bought them a for hiking and as every day shoes. I live in the mountains where waterproof shoes are a must. These are very good waterproofed. Sizing is very true to size, don't size up with this shoe. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the stiffness of the ankle part. When I lace them up till the highest point my ankle really hurts. I definitely hope this will get better in time. Overall I'm happy with my shoes and I guess l'll use them a lot.

Por fin he encontrado lo que buscaba!

Llevaba tiempo buscando este tipo de botas de montaña barefoot, que pudiesen reemplazar a mis antiguas botas de montaña de calzado regular. El tiempo que las he probado me han resultado muy cómodas y amplias. Con buen agarre a los terrenos. Todavía no he probado la resistencia al agua, pero estoy casi segura de que no me defraudarán! Así que, de momento, solo tengo buenas palabras!

Comfortable fit, some design issues

The shoes look great, the fit is comfortable. Looks like hiking boots, feels like high sneakers. Wide enough, spacious for the toes. Outer sole is hard and firm, makes a loud noise when walking, almost like heels. Pity, takes the relaxing out of walking in nature. Zero drop, but doesn’t feel like a barefoot shoe all the way. Too bad there are iron rings on the upper two lace-holes - hooks would have been nicer and easier, esp. to get into the shoe. Also on the upper part of the lace-row, where the rings are, there is some of the inner fabric visible. Overall: Nice shoes, with some design issues.
