Irish Setter Marshall 11ft Waterproof Steel Safety Toe Work Boot EH

Our review of the Irish Setter Marshall 11' work boot finds it best suited for tradespeople and outdoor workers who need a rugged, waterproof boot with dependable protection. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a steel safety toe and ASTM-rated protective features that cover impact, compression and electrical hazards while the UltraDry construction keeps feet dry on wet jobsites. It is substantial but not overly heavy thanks to RPM materials, and it delivers reliable daylong comfort for long shifts when paired with the removable polyurethane footbed.

Key Features

• ASTM safety standards: Meets ASTM F2413-18 M/I/C and EH plus ASTM F3445-21 SR ratings, giving certified resistance to impact, compression and electrical hazards for workplace compliance.
• Steel safety toe: Provides a metal protective cap that deflects heavy impacts and compression common on construction and industrial sites.
• Waterproof design: Full grain leather with UltraDry waterproof construction and moisture management lining keeps feet dry in wet conditions.
• Comfort and support: Removable polyurethane footbed and a steel shank in the midsole provide underfoot support for long shifts and reduce fatigue.
• Heat-resistant outsole: HRO rubber outsole resists melting at high temperatures to 475 F, useful for hot surfaces near equipment or asphalt.
• Platform construction: Goodyear Welt construction prevents water intrusion and allows resoling to extend the boot's service life.

Who It's For

The Marshall 11' is aimed at men who work in construction, industrial settings, or outdoor jobs where ASTM-rated toe protection and waterproofing are required. It fits well for those who value a classic leather pull-on style with long-term durability and the ability to resole the boot when needed.

Those who need a very lightweight safety shoe, a non-metallic toe, or who want a narrower, fashion-oriented boot may want to look elsewhere; some users report fit variations and a few have experienced sole separation over long-term heavy use, so buyers who demand a precise fitted last or ultra-light weight should check fit carefully.
