In our opinion, the new Xero Shoes Ridgeway are the best looking hiking boot Xero has made yet, but how do they perform? In today's video we talk about how these minimalist hiking boots stack up. After putting them through some difficult hikes we'll talk about our likes and dislikes of the boot, including everything from how their waterproofing and traction work to how they look on the trail vs out on the town. We're a big fan of minimalist boots, and we try to grapple with the question of how minimal is too minimal for a technical hiking boot. If you're in the market for some great minimalist shoes take a look at our affiliate links below! We love these brands and totally stand by them.
