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

In this review the Irish Setter Wingshooter ST 6in work boot is evaluated for tradespeople who need a waterproof, safety toe boot that can handle factory and construction environments; the single biggest reason to buy is its combination of non-metallic safety toe protection and proven waterproof full-grain leather construction, which keeps feet dry while meeting multiple ASTM safety standards. The review finds the boot balances protection, comfort, and resolable construction for long-term service on the jobsite without feeling like a rugged hunting boot repurposed for work.

Key Features

• Non-metallic safety toe: Provides impact and compression resistance while remaining metal-free for metal detector environments and lighter toe feel.
• Waterproof construction: Full-grain leather with UltraDry waterproofing and moisture management lining keeps feet dry during wet shifts.
• ASTM safety standards: Meets ASTM F2413-18 M/I/C and EH plus ASTM F3445-21 SR for slip and electrical hazard protection on many worksites.
• HRO rubber outsole: Heat-resistant rubber outsole resists melting at high temperatures and offers durable traction on hot surfaces.
• Removable polyurethane footbed: Cushions the foot for all-day comfort and can be replaced with orthotics if needed.
• Goodyear Welt resoleable platform: Welt construction reduces water intrusion and allows resoling to extend the service life.

Who It's For

The Wingshooter ST is best for electricians, industrial workers, and tradespeople who require a safety toe but need a non-metallic option for security checkpoints or to reduce weight at the toe. It also suits anyone who spends long hours on hard surfaces and values waterproof protection and the ability to resole their boots.

Those who want an ultra-lightweight athletic-style work shoe or who prioritize the lightest possible lace hardware may want to look elsewhere, since some customers report the boot has a noticeable weight to it compared with low-profile work shoes and laces can wear out under heavy use.
