Why you’ll love Ridgeway Chelsea

Ridgeway Chelsea – Capable, Versatile, and Comfortable

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.

Rugged When You Need It

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.  

A “Midsole Illusion”

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.

Caring for your Xero Shoes

To clean your Xero Shoes, hand wash with warm water, mild soap and allow them to air dry. We do not recommend putting them in the washing machine or dryer.

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.

You could email it to yourself and forward it at a later time if you like.

You can also take the Gift Certificate code and send it to the recipient.

Nice but small

I have another pair of Xeros that were "go up a size", so I went with the same for the Chelseas. I had to return and get an even bigger size. They were still a little snug, so I removed the insoles. They fit great now. Return process was easy. Turn around time from dropping old pair off to getting new size was less than 2 weeks.

Amazing boots!

I have worn these for a month or so now. They are super comfortable and look great. I love them and wear them all the time. I have wide feet and have never found a pair of comfortable boots before this. These are amazing, and I love them. These have a thicker sole than my other barefoot shoes, which is great when going out for hikes, etc, but I do miss the ground feel if I wear these too many days in a row... And because they are so comfortable, I find I wear them a lot.

Part of sole is coming unglued

I like the feel of the boots but am worried about how long they will last as I’ve had mine for about a month and part of the sole near the heel is already coming unglued.

Xero Shoes

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re glad to hear that you like the feel of the boots, but we’re concerned about the issue you’re experiencing with the sole. Our products are designed for durability, and it’s not typical for the sole to come unglued after just a month. Please reach out to our customer happiness team with your order details so we can assist you further and address this concern. Your satisfaction is important to us!
