Irish Setter Wingshooter ST Men's 8in Waterproof Work Boot - Safety

Our review of the Irish Setter Wingshooter ST finds it best for tradespeople and outdoor workers who need a waterproof, safety-rated boot that stays comfortable through long shifts. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a non-metallic safety toe and UltraDry waterproofing that together protect feet from impacts and wet conditions without adding unnecessary weight. It is clearly built for all-day use on job sites where slip, heat and electrical hazards are a concern, and it aims to extend service life with resolable Goodyear Welt construction.

Key Features

• Safety standards: Meets ASTM F2413-18 M/I/C, EH and ASTM F3445-21 SR for impact, compression and electrical hazard protection so workers can meet site requirements.
• Non-metallic safety toe: Provides toe protection while remaining lightweight and non-conductive, useful where metal toes are restricted or heavier footwear is a burden.
• Waterproof design: Full grain leather with UltraDry construction and a moisture-wicking lining keeps feet dry during long shifts in wet environments.
• Heat-resistant outsole: HRO rubber outsole resists melting at temperatures to a minimum of 475o Fahrenheit, suitable for hot work surfaces.
• All-day comfort: A removable polyurethane footbed and supportive steel shank offer cushioning and midfoot stability for prolonged standing and walking.
• Resoleable platform: Goodyear Welt construction with a rubber-EVA Traction Tred sole resists water intrusion and allows resoling to extend the boot's life.

Who It's For

The Wingshooter ST is aimed at construction, industrial and outdoor workers who require certified safety protection plus waterproof performance; it is particularly suited to those who value a lighter, non-metallic toe and need heat- and slip-resistant soles. Users who work in wet conditions, on hot surfaces, or near electrical hazards will find the combined feature set relevant to daily demands.

Those who should look elsewhere include workers who insist on a metal safety toe for maximum abrasion resistance, and buyers who prioritize premium stitching durability above all-customer feedback shows mixed experiences with stitching longevity around the toe area.

Pros & Cons

• Resoleable Goodyear Welt construction adds value by allowing repairs and extended service life.

Cons
