Irish Setter Wingshooter ST 6in Waterproof Work Boot - Safety Rated

Our review of the Irish Setter Wingshooter ST 6in finds a work boot aimed at tradespeople and outdoorsmen who need built-in protection without sacrificing the classic Wingshooter comfort. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of a non-metallic safety toe and full-grain waterproof leather, giving reliable impact and water resistance for factory floors, construction sites, and wet fieldwork. It preserves the hunting-boot heritage while adding ASTM-rated safety features that make it a practical choice for jobs that demand certified toe protection and heat-resistant soles.

Key Features

• ASTM safety certified: Meets ASTM F2413-18 M/I/C, EH and ASTM F3445-21 SR so users have verified slip, impact, compression, and electrical hazard protection.
• Non-metallic safety toe: Lightweight composite toe provides site protection without triggering metal detectors and reduces overall boot weight.
• Waterproof construction: Full-grain leather with UltraDry construction and moisture management lining keeps feet dry during wet shifts and outdoor work.
• Heat-resistant outsole: HRO rubber outsole resists melting at temperatures up to 475F, helping maintain traction on hot surfaces.
• Supportive platform: Removable polyurethane footbed and steel shank give long-term comfort and midfoot stability for extended standing and walking.
• Resoleable build: Goodyear welt construction and rubber-EVA traction tread allow resoling to extend service life.

Who It's For

This boot fits men who work in industrial, construction, or outdoor environments where toe protection, electrical hazard resistance, and waterproofing are required. It is well suited for workers who appreciate a traditional leather look but need certified safety features and a resolable platform to justify a longer service life.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers who need an ultra-lightweight athletic-style safety shoe or those who require a metal toe. Also consider alternative models if extremely low weight or a slim urban profile is a priority, since some users report mixed impressions of the boot's weight.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Certified protection with non-metallic safety toe and EH rating for versatile jobsite use.
• Waterproof UltraDry leather keeps feet dry through wet conditions and heavy use.
• Comfortable removable PU footbed and steel shank offer all-day support on hard surfaces.
• Resoleable Goodyear welt construction extends the useful life of the boot.

Cons

• Some customers note variable durability for accessories like laces; a fair limitation to plan for occasional replacements.
• Weight impressions are mixed, so those expecting an extremely light safety shoe may find it heavier than athletic work shoes.
