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

In this review of the Irish Setter Wingshooter ST work boot, the bottom line is simple: these are for men who need a waterproof, safety-rated boot that balances protection with long shifts on hard surfaces. The Wingshooter ST keeps the classic Wingshooter build-full-grain leather and a supportive shank-while adding a non-metallic safety toe and ASTM-certified protections, making it a solid choice for industrial and construction environments where electrical hazard resistance and heat-resistant soles matter most.

Key Features

• Non-Metallic Safety Toe: Provides toe protection without metal, so it is lighter and compatible with metal-detector-free workplaces.
• ASTM Safety Standards: Meets ASTM F2413-18 M/I/C and EH plus ASTM F3445-21 SR, offering impact, compression, slip and electrical hazard resistance for jobsite safety.
• Waterproof Construction: Full-grain leather with UltraDry waterproofing and moisture management lining keeps feet dry during wet work days.
• HRO Outsole: Rubber HRO outsole resists heat and will not melt below approximately 475o F, useful around hot surfaces.
• Removable Polyurethane Footbed: The cushioned footbed helps provide all-day comfort and can be replaced for extended wear.
• Goodyear Welt Resoleable Platform: Welt construction prevents water intrusion and allows resoling to extend the life of the boot.

Who It's For

The Wingshooter ST is aimed at tradesmen, industrial workers, and anyone who needs a waterproof, safety-rated leather boot with a non-metallic toe. It is particularly well suited to workers who value traditional full-grain leather construction combined with modern safety certifications, and those who want the option to resole boots rather than replace them frequently.

Those who need the lightest possible footwear or prefer athletic-style composite soles might look elsewhere, and if extremely long-lived outsole wear is the chief concern, some users report mixed durability for soles under very heavy daily use, so consider job demands when choosing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable full-grain leather and Goodyear Welt construction allow resoling and prolong service life.
• Certified safety features including non-metallic toe and EH provide broad site protection.
• Waterproof UltraDry system keeps feet dry in wet conditions.
• Comfortable removable polyurethane footbed and steel shank support for long days.

Cons

• Sole longevity receives mixed feedback from customers, with some reporting earlier wear than the leather upper.
• Some users note lace durability and boot weight vary by preference, which may not suit those wanting minimal bulk.

Our Verdict

The Irish Setter Wingshooter ST is a practical, safety-focused work boot that blends traditional full-grain leather and a supportive shank with modern non-metallic toe protection and ASTM certifications. It represents good value for workers who need waterproofing, electrical hazard resistance, and the option to resole, though those prioritizing the absolute lightest sole or maximum outsole longevity under extreme use should weigh that trade-off.
