This boot has the classic Chelsea look paired with a lugged outsole for extra traction. In these boots, you’ll feel confident navigating uneven outdoor terrain, while looking perfectly in place around town. The full-grain leather looks better as it breaks in, and the elastic gore lets you slip in and out of these boots while providing a secure fit, making them a favorite for fall and winter days. Very comfortable and stylish boot that's easy to wear right out of the box without break-in time. The lugged outsole means you can wear this Chelsea boot where other versions might not fare so well. The extra traction makes this a surprisingly capable boot for such a stylish look. With the Ridgeway, the embedded TrailFoam layer (that evens out the bumps) wraps around the upper giving the illusion of thickness. It’s true to the Xero Shoes DNA with a more classic look.Why you’ll love Ridgeway Chelsea

FAQs
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.

USRidgeway Chelsea Boot
Another phenomenal shoe from Xero shoe. Comfortable and stylish, they don’t scream “barefoot shoe” in appearance but deliver on all the advantages. Same sole as the ridgeway hiker which I also have, and those soles are proving their wear resistants. I wear sandals hikers and casual shoes from Xero and love them all.
USTwo week old shoes
The toll on my right foot has started to laminate less than two weeks. I find that unacceptable for 150+ dollar shoes. It’s a rubber that is glued to the leather that goes around. I’m hoping you can do something for me cause I was hoping these shoes at last at least two years. Can you please help thank you?
USGreat, but...
Love the fit and the size and the overall look but, the toe tip is separating from the vamp. Everything else is all good!
USGreat Boot with a minor hiccup.
I think they are very well made and would be super comfortable if it was not for the hard toe cap at the front. I usually get my normal shoe size but these feel very tight at the front. I may try to stretch them because I can not return them. Recommend doing a half size up. Other than this I think they are a fantastic boot that look great.
USThe “Barefoot” Alternative to Redbacks
The work boot of choice in wineries is the Redback. The Ridgeway Chelsea is (finally) a great alternative - especially if the only shoes you wear are Xero’s (or you go barefoot). Sturdy, water-resistant, non-slip, they’re great! And great for working outside the winery, too.
