About Us
Over twenty-three years ago, we created a performance footwear brand that stood for quality, style, function, and value. With the support of our partners and customers, we have grown to become a recognized and trusted brand in tactical footwear and accessories. In September 1996, Ridge Footwear launched nine models designed for sportspeople and public safety personnel. We serve the public safety sector exclusively to focus on the needs of police, fire, and medical staff in the U.S. and beyond. This has allowed us to be a reliable and reputable footwear manufacturer for over 20 years. We now have over 20 Boot models, developed our performance socks that are Made in the U.S.A., and created a unique and popular concealment undergarment called the Packin’ Tee®.
Ridge Footwear is the first tactical footwear manufacturer to design air cushioning into our outsoles since 1997. This sole construction was ahead of its time for the uniform market and has become a Ridge best seller to the present day. We continue to incorporate air cushioning in our Air-Tac series to provide reduced shoe weight with additional comfort.
Since the inception of Ridge Footwear, it has been a priority to provide our customers with first-class customer service, top quality, and a variety of products to meet the needs of tactical and public safety personnel. Reliability is key: Our veteran staff has been with us for over 15 years, and our product return rate is less than 2%. Our (U.S.A. based) family-owned and operated company allows us to build personal customer relationships in an otherwise congested corporate marketplace. Ridge Footwear is proud to serve the police, security, fire, medic, and military men and women around the world for over 20 years, and we look forward to 20 more! We are happy to serve you and appreciate your business!
