Irish Setter Wingshooter ST Men's 6in Waterproof Safety Work Boot ASTM

Our review of the Irish Setter Wingshooter ST finds it best for men who need a durable, waterproof work boot with a protective non-metallic safety toe and stable support for long shifts. The single biggest reason to consider this boot is its combination of protective safety features meeting ASTM standards with a comfortable, removable polyurethane footbed that keeps feet dry and supported through a full workday. Practical hunters-turned-tradespeople and construction workers will appreciate the familiar Wingshooter build adapted for industrial settings.

Key Features

• ASTM safety compliance: The boot meets ASTM F2413-18 M/I/C, EH and ASTM F3445-21 SR standards, offering slip, impact, compression, and electrical hazard resistance for workplace safety.
• Non-metallic safety toe: A lightweight non-metallic safety toe provides protective coverage without tripping metal detectors while still resisting many common jobsite hazards.
• Waterproof construction: Full-grain leather with UltraDry waterproof construction and a moisture management lining keeps feet dry during wet conditions.
• All day comfort: Removable polyurethane footbed and a supportive steel shank help reduce fatigue and provide stable footing through long shifts.
• Heat-resistant outsole: HRO rubber outsole resists heat, designed to withstand temperatures up to 475 F to reduce sole damage around hot surfaces.
• Resoleable Goodyear welt: Goodyear welt construction prevents water intrusion and allows the boot to be resoled to extend usable life.

Who It's For

The Wingshooter ST is tailored for men working in construction, light industrial, and outdoor job sites who need certified safety protection plus waterproofing. It suits professionals who value a traditional full-grain leather boot feel with modern safety updates and who may want the option to resole rather than replace the boot frequently.

People who prefer an ultra-lightweight trainer-style work shoe or those who dislike any weight at the ankle or a firmer wedge sole should look elsewhere; some users note mixed impressions of weight. Also, if lace durability is a top concern, plan to keep spare laces available, as a few customers have reported breakage under heavy use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons
