Xero Shoes Ridgeway Hiking Boots - Black/Asphalt

The Xero Shoes Ridgeway hiking boots combine rugged trail performance with the natural freedom of a barefoot-inspired design. Engineered for hikers who demand ground feel, flexibility, and protection, these boots feature a water-resistant canvas and synthetic leather upper, a seam-sealed waterproof inner bootie, and a zero-drop, low-profile sole that lets your feet move naturally.

Advantages

Experience the perfect balance of minimalist design and trail-ready durability. The Ridgeway boots offer a wide toe box for natural toe splay, a flexible sole that adapts to uneven terrain, and a lightweight construction that reduces fatigue. The FeelTrue® rubber outsole provides excellent traction with a 3.5 mm lug depth, while the hidden TrailFoam™ layer adds just enough cushioning for comfort on longer hikes. Plus, they are vegan-friendly and made with moisture-wicking mesh lining to keep your feet dry.
