Irish Setter Men's Work Boots
In 1950, the debut of Red Wing shoe company’s iconic 854 boot in Red Russet leather sparked the birth of Irish Setter, inspired and propelled by this signature rustic look that gave the company its name. Since then, this American designer has crafted the finest sportsmen and work boots in sleek vintage styles for over 70 years. From muddy fields to boiler rooms, Irish Setter men’s boots are as trustworthy as a beloved canine friend—exemplified by their original mascot, Red Mike.
Originally designed for outdoor hunters, Irish Setter boots became popular among workers for their incredible quality and performance. Now, they’re a staple among the toughest work environments (and some of our best-selling shoes). Cutting-edge protections + supportive designs = timeless and durable work boots for all.
At Boot World, our Irish Setter men’s work boots selection includes several models of the original Wingshooter boot, a tried-and-true classic. Whether hunting, working, or anywhere in between, this versatile design holds up against the elements. In the toughest terrain, your feet stay dry with full-grain, water-resistant leather uppers, patented ULTRADRY™technology, and moisture-wicking linings. The Ashby safety boots have a sturdy steel toe that’s Electric-rated for certified protection. Even better? Almost every model meets or exceeds ASTM impact and compressions standards. Consider your Irish Setter boots as much a shield as a shoe.
No matter your pick, each of our Irish Setter work boots comes with slip-resistant outer soles that ensure stability. Stay secure while trekking across oily, chemical-treated, and slippery surfaces. With durable rubber that adds traction, you’ll walk through life on solid footing.
Safe, protective features are just the beginning of Irish Setter’s benefits. Slip your feet inside these shoes and you’re set for cushioned, comfortable movement. Different styles include their built-in or removable EVA midsoles that absorb shock, returning energy with each step. Meanwhile, cushioned polyurethane footbeds give an extra boost of support. And to top it off, breathable membranes or unlined innards keep airflow up and nasty odors out.
Besides all their tactical features, these boots come in striking styles. Irish Setter infuses each work boot with traditional hunting flair, using solid and smooth leather exteriors. The contrast between white soles and tan uppers gives Wingshooters a distinctive, mid-century modern look. The Ashby model offers a robust heel and standout stitching in a subdued dark brown, while the stylish Mesabi adds lift with its high 8” shaft design and rubber heel.
Whether you’re on the hunt or the warehouse floor, our Irish Setter men’s boots are a step towards excellence. Start shopping for comfort, protection, and style today.
