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.

RWHW-NGBU_Ridgeway_Insignia-Blue_Cerebral_02125.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 326 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!

NO SON IMPERMEABLES

Compré estas botas con mucha ilusión, pero ahora sólo estoy decepcionada y enfadada. En mi primer paseo con ellas, que no llovía, pero sí había helada en el campo, he vuelto a casa con los calcetines y los pies mojados. Me siento engañada. Son unas botas caras, que compré porque eran botas descalzas para la montaña, pero no es verdad.

NO SON IMPERMEABLES

Compré estas botas con mucha ilusión, pero gran decepción y enfado, porque en mi primer paseo con ellas el último día del año, sin lluvia, pero con el campo helado, he vuelto a casa con los calcetines y los pies mojados. Eran impermeables, según publicidad de las botas

Lots of room for the toes

I haven't used them yet for hiking but I find them super comfortable! The toes have lots of room. The insoles are cushioning the feet, so there is not so much barefoot feeling as I am used to, but might be perfect for transitioning.

Too tight

I only tried them at home and noticed that they are a bit too small (I had bought my regular size as recommended), but also that the Part around my ankle is so narrow that my ankle/leg started to hurt only after a few seconds. Furthermore the sole is so stiff that I can hardly call them barefoot shoes.

First barefoot shoes

The shoes are nice, very wide on the inside, true to size, and the delivery was fast. Unfortunately, within the first week of wearing them, part of the material on top, which is softer like suede, became stained blue, apparently from contact with jeans. I initially thought the issue was with the clothing, but the tongue of the shoes also turned black due to contact with the inner part of the shoes. Additionally, the tongue started looking worn and scuffed after just two weeks of use. I expected higher-quality materials for shoes costing €160. Otherwise, they are comfortable but not suitable for very cold weather. I always wear them with thick socks at temperatures around 0°C or slightly below. I would never wear them in colder weather. I’m yet to see if they will hold up for long-term use. These are my first barefoot shoes.
