High quality work boot
I'm a garbage man in Minnesota and these boots are amazing. Bought them for winter and they've been holding up great. Very very warm, durable and waterproof. They're also comfortable and supportive. Great protection against ankle rolling. Fairly slip resistant but I still usually wear cleats on ice and packed snow. Just so I can move faster. It would be just fine in wet conditions though. Would highly recommend, if you're looking for a good quality work boot.

Really really nice boots
Fit perfectly. Great quality materials and construction. Warm, comfortable, and waterproof. This 9" Steel toe logger work boot from Irish setter, continues the tradition of a rugged work boot made with durable materials. That's a real winner, and this is the perfect gift idea for the most important people in your life. It's a great value as these are made to last for a good many years. The outsole is non slip rubber from Vibram and you can pretty much take these things hiking if you really wanted to. The material inside will definitely keep your feet dry too which is always my biggest concern with these. Many times, your feet will get sweaty and then out in the cold, it will cause them to be uncomfortable. There's plenty of room for heavier socks if you like, but they're decently warm with hiking socks as well. The sole has a good wet and dry grip, and they're waterproof as advertised. I rode a motorcycle 3 hours in steady rain and me feet stayed warm and dry. The construction is great, and the materials are heavy-duty as expected for work boots. They also come with a decent insole, so you don't have to immediately get Dr Scholls if you don't want to. The break-in period is normal, but they were comfortable enough for all-day use right out of the box. These boots keep your feet from getting all sweated up no matter how thick your socks are. It allows them to breath comfortably while staying nice and warm. This is the non-insulated waterproof version, and provides good comfort with solid support and protection. These are the type of boots that will make it so you don't notice. Really! I used these to do a day of cutting wood for the upcoming winter season. This means cutting fallen trees up, carrying that to the truck and then coming home to split them all up for putting in the fireplace or wood stove. On uneven ground you want a boot that will keep you ankle supported so even if you step onto uneven ground, you won't get a sprain...which is very easy to do when doing wood. Nice lace system ensures a secure and snug fit every time. The chocolate leather construction looks as good as it performs. A solid value.

Great boots, a little heavy.
The Irish Setter Shorewood boots demonstrate exceptional quality and designed for rugged outdoor use. The 9-inch height provides substantial ankle support and stability.The waterproofing is highly reliable, effectively keeping feet dry in wet conditions, including deep snow and stream crossings. Combined with the insulation, these boots are excellent performers in cold climates, offering consistent warmth while maintaining adequate temperature regulation during activity.The standout feature is the aggressive outsole design, which provides superior traction on diverse surfaces, including mud, ice, and wet rock. The grip is genuinely confidence-inspiring.The primary trade-off for this comprehensive protection and durability is how heavy they are. These boots have the feel of a heavy-duty work boot rather than a lightweight hiker. While the weight is noticeable, it is reasonable given the boots' overall durability and warmth.If you prioritize long-term durability, reliable waterproofing, and outstanding traction over being light, these boots are highly recommended.

Nice boots
I got these for my husband, whom wears his “top pick” pair of boots to work daily, and he prefers these Irish Setter boots over the Georgia boots I recently got him, bc he claims the Georgia boots are squeaky… the only reason that these boots get 4 stars instead of 5 stars, is because the oil applied by the manufacture had not been settled before the boots were put in the box, and they therefore came pretty scuffed up (from shipping I suppose). This seemed to bother me more than my husband, as he said they’d get scuffed up at work anyways. Other versions of Irish Setter (and/or Red Wing) boots typically last my husband 8-12 months, so I expect the durability of these to be of a similar fashion, however, this probably varies by the line of work someone is in… my husband is in industrial heating and air industry.

These are simply great boots
I love shoes in general, and boots in specific. I have way too many, but what's one more, right?Well, when it comes to these boots, they're definitely worth having. If I had to pick just one pair of boots to keep, these would definitely be contenders. They fit great, and are really comfortable. The construction seems pretty robust, and I expect to get a long useful life from them. I haven't had opportunity to test them in wet conditions, but I am sure their claims of keeping your feet dry are 100% true.Definitely an enthusiastic five stars from me!
