Irish Setter Wingshooter ST 8in Waterproof Work Boot - Safety Ready

In this review the Irish Setter Wingshooter ST 8in waterproof work boot is examined for tradespeople who need a safety boot that stays comfortable all day. The biggest reason to consider these boots is the combination of a non-metallic safety toe and UltraDry waterproof construction, which provides site-ready protection without heavy, clunky weight. The reviewer found the boots true to size with roomy toe space and a supportive feel for long shifts, making them a solid choice for construction, utility, and outdoor work where electrical hazard protection and slip resistance matter.

Key Features

• ASTM safety rated: Meets ASTM F2413-18 M/I/C, EH and ASTM F3445-21 SR standards to protect against impact, compression and electrical hazards on the jobsite.
• Non-metallic safety toe: Provides protective coverage without metal, keeping the boot lighter and compatible with metal detectors or non-metal work zones.
• UltraDry waterproofing: Full grain leather with a moisture-managing lining and waterproof components keeps feet dry in wet conditions for extended wear.
• All day comfort: A removable polyurethane footbed plus a supportive steel shank deliver underfoot comfort and stability during long shifts.
• HRO heat-resistant outsole: Rubber outsole resists heat up to a minimum of 475o F, adding durability around hot surfaces.
• Resoleable Goodyear Welt: The welted rubber-EVA Traction Tred sole resists slip and oil and can be resoled to extend the life of the boot.

Who It's For

The Wingshooter ST is best for men working in construction, industrial, utilities, or outdoor sites who need a waterproof, safety-toe boot that is relatively lightweight and offers electrical hazard protection. It fits workers who value a roomy toe box and prefer removable insoles for custom orthotics.

Those who need an ultra-premium stitched finish or expect flawless long-term stitching might look elsewhere, as customer feedback includes mixed reports on stitch longevity. If you require a metal safety toe specifically, this non-metallic option will not meet that preference.
