The Ridgeway is Xero's best selling boot. A barefoot, retro style hiking boot with rugged canvas upper and suede accents.  It's designed to keep your feet dry with a fully seam-sealed inner bootie, gusseted tongue and waterproof membrane. Minimal, flexible and light with a grippy sole for all terrain activities. It might look like the Ridgeway has a thick midsole but Xero have actually embedded their TrailFoam™ layer (that evens out the bumps) and wrapped it around the upper giving the illusion of thickness.  It still has a flexible and minimalist feel, allowing toes to naturally splay out and freedom of movement so you can enjoy the barefoot feel.
