Irish Setter Wingshooter Men’s 7" Waterproof Hunting Boot Review

Very comfortable and warm also waterproof. Perfect workbook for the winter. They break in and loosen up. So if they feel tight wear them for a day.

This is my second pair of these boots. They are true to size and comfortable. They keep water out and keep my feet warm and dry. They are perfect for construction work! As with most boots, there is a short break in period, but after that the boot conforms to your foot, fit nicely and are flexible with good traction. The laces are great, but they seem to wear out prematurely. Other than that, they are my go-to boot!!Big Rudy

Quality, comfort and waterproof. A must.

The age old saying right……. Well holding true here too. I worked hvac for several years now starting out in residential and worked my way in to the industrial environments with very large Rtu’s, huge hot roof spaces and very wet cooling towers. Through the years I used to wear $100 timberland hikers. Get about 4-5 months of good waterproofness and maybe 1 year out of the boot if I’m lucky. Working in pretty rough conditions especially for my feet I realized it’s time to get serious and invest a little more in my foot wear for something that will actually last. So after 100 miles logged in these I can safely say they are well worth the investment. The boots felt big and cloggy at first but with time and muscle memory that faded. Out of the box they screamed comfort till the second you take them off. I find myself getting home after a 12 hour plus day on my feet and feeling no foot pain and marginally less back pain. They somehow are light and don’t take a lot of energy to mover surprisingly. Most importantly they are as durable as they come. Consider a safety if you position needs it but they are plenty protective as they are. The steel packed stitch sole will be around way longer than any adhesive backed sole would. Which once the adhesive wear yourwaterproofing is shoot. I’d Recommend this boot for anyone they does any amount of work in less than ideal conditions. And ps order the black sole cause the white ones are gonna turn black eventually anyways! Why cheap out on the tires for your feet?

Well made, as expected. Quality leather,sole, and foot bed. Very nice tongue and eyelets are spaced well for speed lacing. Upper well padded. A little heavier than expected, especially for “wing shooters”

I am fat and have a wide foot and these fit perfect out of the box,, 12EE,, really nice leather and really good quality goodyear welt, for an import they are impressive. My hats off to Redwing for at least giving an old reliable brand a decent build standard. The only recommendation I have is to get a better quality insole to put in place of the Irish Setter brand....

I initially ordered my normal size.. they seemed narrow and I didn’t want to take a chance on not being able to stretch them for a comfortable fit. Amazon has a great return policy, I reordered wider and they are very comfortable. Good grip, without being too stiff, great quality leather is breaking in nicely…Good boots!

I am rarely if ever compelled to write reviews. However, this boot deserves it. I needed a pair of field boots for fall hunting and general yard work and my old steel toes were shot. I shopped online for looking at several moc toe and smooth toe boots. I cannot justify $290 for USA Red Wings, or anything USA anymore (except LL Bean Maine boots... still the best made in USA deal out there..), so I accepted the fact that I would be buying something imported. I found a pair of Cabela's hunting boots on sale which I bought, then decided to pull the trigger on these as well. They arrived at the same time so I could do a side by side comparison. Two different animals, the Cabela's was more of a waterproof, winterized boot 9-10' tall, while the Wingshooter are 7", lined but not necessarily for winter. The Cabela boot was ok, but definitely has that "imported" faking it feel... especially in the bottom sole. As soon as I put the Irish Setters on, it was like stepping back in time. Yes, they are imported, but you would never know it. Feels like old USA boots used to feel. Excellent soles... fit was perfect for my wide duck feet (12EE)... and it felt broken in right from the get go. And they look good to. The Cabela's are boxed up and ready to return. I think I will buy another pair of Wingshooter's now just for price guarding, and I NEVER do that. They will get field tested hard next month on a week long backwoods deer hunt in Maine, but everything I have seen so far tells me they will be perfect.So I am back and adding to my original review. Best boots I have ever owned Period. I hunt in them. Work in them. Walk the dog for miles through woods and fields. Love them and the fact that Red Wing will refurbish them when needed just adds to the value.Second update. I just. bought my second pair of these Actually I bought the 808 9" version but sent them back as they were just too high on the shin, and uncomfortable to me. Exchanged for 12EE 7" pair like I had bought 2 years ago. Something was different. They were much tighter than the first pair I bought. I called Red Wing and they did say that the last mold has been changed recently. So I exchanged the 12EE for a 13EE. Perfect fit on width, but a tad long. I am a little disappointed. I am going to keep them, but I will shop around for my next new hunting boot in a couple years. Maybe the LL Bean Kangaroo.
