Irish SetterWingshooter ST, Men's, 8", Waterproof, Non-Metallic Safety Toe, Work Boot

So I’m a union electrician and have tried many different work boots. I’ve used to be a die hard Thorogood guy, but the last pair I bought totally blew out after three months and when they wouldn’t honor the warranty, I started boot shopping. So after reading multiple good reviews on the Irish setters I ordered a pair blind, meaning I didn’t try them on I just ordered my size and hoped for the best. I can honestly say that I knew the second I put them on they were like no other boot I’ve ever worn. The support on the ankles and heel were like nothing I’ve ever felt in a boot, totally supportive, but they were intensely comfortable almost like wearing memory foam slippers. I have worked a lot of hours since Jan. 2 when I first wore these to work, with out a doubt they are just as comfortable as they were the first day. I actually look forward to putting them on. My legs and feet have not felt so good after a 12 hour shift ever. If you are in the market for a new pair of work boots, please do yourself a favor and try a pair. You most likely will not regret unless you are overly critical about some little detail that I don’t notice. When these are finally ready to retire I already no what boots I’m getting next. The quality of the material, the overall comfort and support, in addition to the warmth in the winter and not overly hot when it’s not winter make these the best work boots I’ve ever had the privilege of putting on my feet.

I do not usually write reviews, BUT I seen a lot of people disliking these and I figured I’d give my 2 cents from a workers point of view. I am a commercial Plumber. I Work on numerous construction sites where the conditions are always changing. On the weekends I’m hiking, hunting, fishing, chopping wood, working on my vehicles, ETC. I’ve worn NUMEROUS brands of boots from Carolinas, big ol redneck Chippewa loggers, Thorogood boots, red wings, and on and on... Irish Setter Wingshooters are, in my opinion the Best all around boot I’ve ever worn. The comfort on these boots are Awesome, your old broken back will thank you. They are not a clunky boot by any means, if they Are clunky, then you picked the wrong size dummy. Check before you order. The toe on these are COMPOSITE. Not steel. Which is absolutely fine with me, the boot is VERY light compared to the steel toe loggers i used to wear. There is very good support in the ankle due to the 8 in leather upper. Now the durability of this boot, is pretty good. Could be a littleee bit better. Had them for about a year now. After about 7 months, the composite toe began to show through. I did apply a toe saver to it obviously that mended well into the leather and saved me from having the water leak though. However, after being worn every single day in dry, wet, dry, wet, dry, wetness, the leather began to break down (become non-waterproofed). I expected this so I do apply waterproofing and mink oil every month to my boots that will add a Little bit of weight, but not much that you will really notice. These boots, like any other leather, will not be waterproof forever. The laces lasted me about 5 months. (Not a big deal to me) The insulation on these boots are perfect to me. They don’t make my feet sweat (unless I wear heavier socks) and they keep them plenty warm in these upcoming colder months. As you can see I bought a 2nd pair because I do like this boot. Will most likely be buying these for as long as I continue to work.

Exelente

These and Redwings are the only work boots I wear and well its the same thing, fit is good. Thick leather for warmth. I feel they’re stiff at the ankle but can go straight to the job site, plus they look good with some jeans for dinner.

Not the same model as pictures shown . I love the wingshooter model. Very comfortable and durable! I have bought over 5 pairs in the last five years ever pair has held up great and not had any issues other than the laces braking, due to the hook eyelets are two sharp. That is the only flaw in my book. Water proof . But I always bees wax mine right out of the box and every month or so after . It helps break in and keeps them water tight. These are great for working on roofs . Walking trusses and bare sheeting. Tons of grip ! Not so good in the ice tho. My feet never hurt wearing these and I work long hours on all types of surfaces. I highly recommend these boots for any carpenter or general contractor. But check your model before ordering, this is the first time this has happened to me . Size runs true to a Nike shoe . I wear a 10, 1/2 “ and it fits perfectly. Hope this helps.

They don't come this dark out of the box, they get a darker brown after a few coats of mink oil. I got 3 years out of my first pair. The break in time is almost none & they actually stay waterproof. The moc toe allows you to walk on the entire bottom surface of your foot rather than just the front & back. 8" helps support your ankle so they're comfortable all day. Best boots I've ever owned.

My son, a union ironworker, wore these Irish Setter boots for 2 weeks. At the top of toe where the top is sewn to the front, they ripped apart. Over 200 bucks and they are pure GARBAGE. Red Wing and their sister company Irish Setter are absolute Garbage.I have been in the steel business for over 40 years, and never had boots fall apart like this. The last pair of Irish Setters I bought, the same as I had been wearing for years, cut into the side of my ankle to the point I can't wear them at all.This is the last pair of boots I will buy from Amazon. For the amount I spend with Amazon, almost 1000 dollars a month, I would think they would try to make me a little happy.THE REASON FOR THE ONE STAR IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GIVE A RATING. POOP WAS NOT ONE OF THE OPTIONS.

Great boots!! Definitely worth the money and would buy again.
