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

Our review of the Irish Setter Wingshooter ST 6in work boot finds it best suited for tradespeople who need a comfortable, waterproof, safety toe boot that stands up to long shifts. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a non-metallic safety toe and Goodyear welt construction, which together deliver on-site protection and a platform that can be resoled to extend service life. This review looks at comfort, protection, and durability to help decide if it belongs in a work rotation.

Key Features

• Non-metallic safety toe: Provides essential impact and compression protection while keeping the boot lighter and compatible with metal detectors.
• Waterproof construction: Full-grain leather with UltraDry components and a moisture management lining keeps feet dry in wet conditions.
• ASTM-rated protection: Meets ASTM F2413-18 M/I/C EH and ASTM F3445-21 SR standards for slip, impact, compression and electrical hazard resistance.
• Resoleable Goodyear welt: The welted rubber-EVA traction sole prevents water intrusion and allows resoling to prolong the boot's usable life.
• All day comfort: A removable polyurethane footbed and a steel shank support the arch and calf through long workdays.
• HRO heat-resistant outsole: Rubber outsole resists melting at a minimum of 475o Fahrenheit for high-heat task compatibility.

Who It's For

The Wingshooter ST is aimed at workers in construction, industrial, and utility roles who need a waterproof, protective boot with a non-metallic safety toe and ASTM-rated resistance to slip and electrical hazards. It suits people who value a resoleable platform and want the option to repair rather than replace the entire boot.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers who require a metal safety toe, ultra-lightweight minimalist footwear, or a boot with a very long-lived sole without periodic resoling; some customers report mixed longevity for the outsole under heavy use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable removable polyurethane footbed offers long-wearing cushioning for daily use.
• Waterproof full-grain leather and UltraDry lining keep feet dry in wet jobsites.
• Resoleable Goodyear welt construction extends service life and prevents water intrusion.
• ASTM and HRO ratings provide confidence for slip, compression, and heat resistance.

Cons

• Sole durability draws mixed feedback; some users report the outsole wearing faster than the leather uppers under heavy duty work.
• Some customers note occasional lace wear over months of use, which means laces may need replacing sooner than the boot.
