This boot features the classic Chelsea style combined with a lug solefor enhanced traction. Designed for comfort for both everyday wear and longer treks, with these boots, you'll feel confident navigating uneven outdoor terrain and look sharp in the city.

Full-grain leather looks better as it molds to you, and the elastic gore allows you to slip these boots on and off while providing a secure fit, making them a go-to for fall and winter days.

The lug sole gives this Chelsea boot extra traction, making it a surprisingly capable boot for such a sleek style. And it's backed by our 5,000-mile sole warranty, so you know it'll last.

In the case of the Ridgeway, the built-in TrailFoam layer (which levels out bumps) wraps up the upper and creates the illusion of thickness. It stays true to Xero Shoes DNA with a more classic look.

Xero Shoes was founded in 2009 by Steven Sashen and Lena Phoenix, who, after discovering the benefits of walking barefoot or in minimalist footwear, decided to create a line of shoes that would allow people to experience those advantages with a bit more protection for their feet. They were largely inspired by the book Born to Run by Christopher McDougall, which explores the culture of the Tarahumara tribes in Mexico, known for their long-distance barefoot running abilities.

The company has a strong focus on reducing environmental impact, making products that are durable and using more eco-friendly materials whenever possible.
