Irish Setter Wingshooter ST 6in Waterproof Work Boot - Safety Ready be

Our review of the Irish Setter Wingshooter ST 6in finds it best suited to workers who need a durable, waterproof leather boot with a non-metallic safety toe for worksites that demand ASTM-rated protection. The single biggest reason to consider these boots is the combination of safety certification and comfortable, all-day wear: the boot meets ASTM F2413-18 M/I/C, EH and ASTM F3445-21 SR standards while using UltraDry construction and a removable polyurethane footbed for long shifts on feet. This makes it a practical choice for construction, industrial, and utility crews who need waterproof performance and impact protection without a heavy metal toe.

Key Features

• ASTM Safety Compliance: The boot meets ASTM F2413-18 M/I/C, EH and ASTM F3445-21 SR ratings, offering slip, impact, compression and electrical hazard resistance necessary for many industrial workplaces.
• Non-Metallic Safety Toe: A non-metallic safety toe delivers protective coverage without setting off metal detectors and reduces weight compared with steel caps.
• Waterproof Construction: Full-grain leather with UltraDry waterproofing and a moisture-management lining keeps feet dry during wet jobs and long hours outdoors.
• Comfort and Support: The removable polyurethane footbed plus a steel shank stabilizes the foot and reduces strain on calves for all-day comfort.
• Heat-Resistant Sole: The HRO-rated rubber outsole resists heat and will not melt at temperatures up to the specified minimum of 475f, useful around hot surfaces.
• Resoleable Goodyear Welt: Goodyear Welt construction prevents water intrusion and allows resoling for extended life, improving long-term value.

Who It's For

The Wingshooter ST is ideal for tradespeople and industrial workers who need certified protective footwear that also performs in wet conditions; waterproof full-grain leather and ASTM safety ratings suit construction, maintenance, and utility roles. It also works for anyone who prefers a traditional, sturdily built boot with a removable footbed and the option to resole for longevity.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers who require a lighter minimalist boot or a specific specialty outsole not offered here, and people who want a very narrow fashion fit, since this design provides more room through the toe and emphasizes durability over a slim profile.
