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

Our review of the Irish Setter Wingshooter ST 6in work boot finds it best suited for tradespeople who need a waterproof, protective boot that can stand up to long days on site. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a non-metallic safety toe and full-grain leather with UltraDry waterproof construction, which delivers site-ready protection without heavy metal components. Comfort features like a removable polyurethane footbed and a supportive steel shank make it practical for all-day wear, while the Goodyear Welt platform helps extend the life of the boot.

Key Features

• Non-Metallic Safety Toe: Provides reliable impact and compression resistance while staying lightweight and safe for metal-free work environments.
• Waterproof Construction: Full-grain leather combined with UltraDry lining keeps feet dry in wet conditions for prolonged comfort.
• ASTM Safety Compliance: Meets ASTM F2413-18 M/I/C, EH and ASTM F3445-21 SR standards for slip, impact, compression and electrical hazard protection.
• Heat-Resistant Outsole: HRO rubber outsole resists melting at temperatures up to 475f, making it suitable for hot-surface exposures.
• Resoleable Goodyear Welt: Rubber-EVA traction tread is built on a welted platform that prevents water intrusion and allows resoling to extend service life.
• All-Day Comfort: Removable polyurethane footbed and a steel midsole shank deliver cushioning and stable support over long shifts.

Who It's For

The Wingshooter ST 6in is aimed at construction workers, utility technicians, and factory personnel who need a protective boot that is waterproof and meets formal safety standards while avoiding metal toes. Its heat-resistant HRO outsole and electrical hazard rating make it a fit for mixed jobsite conditions where varied hazards exist.

People who prioritize the lightest possible footwear or who need ultra-long-lasting sole life without occasional resoling may want to consider alternatives; some users report mixed longevity from the outsole and laces under heavy, continuous use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid protection with a non-metallic safety toe that still meets ASTM impact and compression requirements.
• Waterproof full-grain leather and UltraDry lining keep feet dry in wet environments.
• Comfortable for long shifts thanks to the removable PU footbed and stabilizing steel shank.
• Resoleable Goodyear Welt construction supports long-term ownership and repair.

Cons

• Sole durability receives mixed feedback from customers, so heavy outsole wear can occur sooner than leather wear.
• Some users report lace wear after months of heavy use, so expect to replace laces periodically.
