  • Excelent!
Size: 13 Wide Color: Brown
13W. Perfect fit. No crunched toes or sliding forward foot. No heel slip. No width crunch. Comfort is litterly UNBELEIVABLE. Wore inside, 75 degrees, for 15 minutes walking. Feet stayed a comfortable temp. Went outside in minus 10 degree for one hour. Feet stayed same temp. That's impressive. Very little break in. So worth the money. I've spent so much money trying to get boots that fit and don't hurt, the price for these is so worth it. I'm 65 so I'd say these are lifetime boots for me. These are like my feet are still home in my fleece slippers by the fire. I am so impressed and happy. Happy birthday and Christmas to me. I also bought the 10" uninsulated Irish Setter elk trackers too. I say the same about them too. Excelent. Everything Red Wing, Irish Setter and the reviewers say about these boots is true. ... show more

  • ABRAMS TANKS FOR THE FEET!
Size: 10.5 Color: Brown
Wow!!! These are like wearing an Abrams Tank on each foot, and I'm not exaggerating either. I always wanted a pair of boots like this, Overbuilt and Tough as steel. These boots are made with extremely high quality materials and the workmanship is excellent too. I have narrow feet that always slide around in most boots, but they finally stay put in these boots because there is so much insulation in them. I ordered a half size larger as recommended by customer reviews and they fit perfect. They are a little on the stiff side but should soften a bit over time, they're serious boots that should last a lifetime whether you're hunting or The Stuff Hits The Fan. I can't say enough about these boots and Highly recommend them. ... show more

Best boots I've ever bought

  • Heavy, Snug, and Warm. And heavy. And warm. And heavy.
These boots are well-built and absolutely massive. They're comfortable and fit snugly without any pressure points on my extra wide, relatively flat feet (size 14W). The arch support is present, but not to the point of causing aches. Cushioning is adequate, but not great. They seem to be incredibly warm and hold up well in wet environments, although I haven't had them submerged yet - I'll try to update my review after spending some time in the woods, snow, and water. The boots handle most natural surfaces well, but they're a bit awkward on stairs and can be dicey on sheer surfaces. Get some extra large creepers if you plan on walking around on ice. Note: they are very heavy boots. Not for the faint-legged. [Update 1.2.16] The soles of both boots have begun to crack and separate. The soles are made up of three parts, a bottom, mid, and upper. The uppers are separating from the mid. These boots have hardly been used outdoors save for one season of whitetail hunting. Very disappointed that they are splitting apart already, as I've had these just a little over two months. They're still comfortable and warm, but that won't do me any good if the bottoms aren't intact and start leaking. I will contact Irish Setter customer service and post an update on their response. $200 boots should not split like this after mild use over two months. [Update 1.11.16] I contacted Irish Setter customer service via email. I received a confirmation email telling me that I would get a formal response from a rep within two business days. In my email I requested that they send me a pair of replacement boots, whereas they are currently my only pair of winter boots and I cannot wait several (wintry) weeks for a repair. I also told them that once I received my replacement pair that I would gladly ship them the damaged pair so long as they covered the shipping costs on both ends. I received an email three days later that informed me that I would not only receive a pair of replacement boots, but could also keep the damaged pair if I chose. Needless to say, I am very impressed with their customer service. I received a new pair about 1 week after filing a claim. Couldn't ask for a better outcome. [Update 3/13/26] Be patient with these boots. There was an initial break-in period of 3-6 months, followed by a longer, subtler break-in over the next year or so. The separating of the soles hasn't gotten much worse over the years, so no complaints or worries there. Honestly, these have turned out to be the best boots I've ever owned. Having worn them every fall and winter for 11 years, I can honestly say that they have performed better and lasted longer than any other boot I've worn. Ever. All others have burst at the sides, had the tread scuffed off/split, or both (Keen, Timberland, and Red Wing in EE or H width). My 10+ year old Irish Setter Elk Trackers are still warm, dry, comfortable, and intact. I'm still using the original inserts, as the boot has fully molded to my foot and is incredibly comfortable. To each their own in that regard. Some might prefer replacement inserts. I will say that walking over hard surfaces such as ice or pavement for long distances or for an entire day does tend to bother my legs and lower back a bit, but trekking over dirt or through the woods doesn't bother me at all. The tread does soften over time, but they are still a stiff boot, which impedes a natural walking motion slightly. I could see how some people would want a better insulated boot, but I tend to run hot and have only gotten cold in these a few times. For me, they're almost too warm to wear until temperatures start to dip below 40*F. I would recommend periodically cleaning and applying a sealant to them as they crease and get scuffed. I admit that I have not done a great job at maintaining mine, and yet they still keep my feet warm and dry. After cleaning and thoroughly drying, I'll warm the boots to 100-120 degrees with indirect heat, then apply a sealant. I think I've done this maybe 2-3 times over the years, and intend to do again soon, as they finally began letting some slushy water while ice fishing last weekend. I'm almost certain that they'll be perfect again after a cleaning and resealing, but even if they're not - they're over 10 years old and have treated me very well, and I can't reasonably expect any boot to last forever. That being said, I intend to wear them until they fall apart, which they still seem far from doing. Hopefully I'm still wearing them in 2036 and remember to write another update. I had previously given these boots 4 stars. I would increase that to 4.5 stars, but whereas I can't do halves, 5 stars it is. These boots have more than proven themselves over the last decade or so. I hope that Irish Setter hasn't changed a thing about them over the years, as I would buy them again. The price drop, however, does cause me concern. These were $200 boots when I bought them in 2015, and now I'm seeing them for $150. I hope this is not indicative of the newer versions of these boots somehow being a lesser product. Hats off to Irish Setter if they're offering the same boots I have at a lower price. It's rare to find footwear that lasts a year, let alone ten, so if these new boots are the same as mine, these are a steal at $150. I'm not sponsored or compensated by Irish Setter, but if they wanted to send me a new pair of these to try out, I'd be happy to write a few more reviews. ... show more

  • Looking Good so far.
The boots are comfortable right out of the box walking on flat land to the park. I walk three wild and wooly puppies about four miles a day. I've done this since I have bought the boots. Surprising the D width on my size 14's seem O.K. on the flats. After two weeks of walking they are working out fine. I'm tickled that the break-in of the boots was without pain. I love the last three big metal shoe string holders on the Irish Setter line. Oh how I hate those smaller metal clips that keep breaking on other red wing shoes. My foot is a 14 B narrow. I have no idea how I will do in the national forest hunting Elk this November when I walk straight up Hog Backs and ridges like Green Ridge. I will find out how much my feet slide around in the boots on those straight up trips in November. I will either fix that with huge fat socks or maybe a insole from some company. Only time will tell when I go hunting. My feet have stayed warm and dry through the last two blizzards so we're good there. I'm withholding the fifth star until I'm finished Elk hunting November 23 through December 1, 2013, that will tell the tale. I have another pair of Irish Setters that are 600 grams of insulation that I need to send back to the factory for new soles. They have been terrific for the last five years. I have worn the sole down so much little holes showed up in the middle of the sole just under the toe area. A lot of wear. The rest of these boots are fine and with new soles will be great backups to these new boots I bought. I put insoles in my old boots to walk in the woods. It worked out fine. My old Irish Setters were great for hunting and I hope for the same result with these new boots. Oh yes, the new boots have scent block, very important for Elk hunting. ... show more

  • Got them to wear in a frozen food processing environment Got them to wear in a frozen food processing environment
I drive a forklift in a frozen food processing facility. My work environment ranges from 55 degrees to minus 25 degrees...80% of my day is spent in areas that range between 36 and minus 10. I love Red Wing boots and wore them for years before taking the forklift job. On a forklift, though, I don’t walk around or do as much physical labor as I had been doing and the Red Wing brand doesn’t offer a model with the amount of insulation I need. But Red Wing’s Irish Setter brand offers models with much more insulation. I went with the 860 Elk Tracker because it’s leather, can be re-soled, and it’s price point is similar to other brands of freezer specific boots which can not be re-soled when the soles wear out. They have lasted me almost four years now. My Red Wing size is 8.5D so, to account for the thickness of the insulation, I ordered the Elk Tracker 860 in size 9D. The fit was a tad snug for the first week or so but the insulation compacted somewhat (as expected) and the fit has been perfect since then. I have dropped pallets on them, scuffed them against pallets and metal storage racks while walking around, and the leather has held up well to the rigors of a work environment. Their weakness in my work environment is the soles. The Elk Tracker 860 is made for tromping around in the woods, not working on concrete. They wear out quicker when used “off label” the way I use them...but I expected that. After a year and a half, I had to have them re-soled. I took them to my local Red Wing dealer and he sent them to the Red Wing factory in Minnesota be re-soled. That was in October of 2018 and cost me $90. It gave my boots a second life. The other drawback for work use is that they don’t grip smooth, wet floors (i.e.: restroom floors) well. But again, they are made for the woods. I have slipped but have never fallen. These are good looking, durable boots that keep your feet warm, even when worn for a purpose they weren’t designed for and I can’t recommend them enough. ... show more

  • Silent, practical, and manly.
These boots look great, and fit perfectly upon arrival. They are a deep, dark red, and the shafts go up to a little higher than mid-shin on my legs. It is a rather snug fit, so there is little movement between the feet and legs, and the boots themselves, making the boots feel comfortable and like an extension of my own legs, rather than footwear. The first thing I noticed when I received these boots is that they are BIG. Each boot is massive. The soles go down about another one to two inches, so when you wear it, you are an inch or two taller than you would otherwise normally be, which helps your stature, and also makes you, in a subtle way, appear bigger to others. The second thing I noticed about these boots is that they are silent. By this I mean the boots, when walking on a solid hardwood floor, will make no sound as you tread across the surface. The soles have a unique padded design to them, and softens each step by dissipating the force of your step into the sole itself. Of course, these are hunter's boots, so a hunter has little use for a boot that is silent on hardwood floor - it has to be silent out in the woods. Well, on my own ventures out in the woods, I notice that as long as you watch where you are treading, and that you bend your knees and move with a softer step, you can become very silent, indeed. In fact, there have been multiple times where I could walk behind someone for five or ten minutes where they would not even notice my arrival, so be prepared to properly announce your arrival before passing them on the road (out of courtesy, if not out of a sense of safety). The bottom line here though is, that in the woods, you will have to sometimes make an effort to walk softly on uneven or leaf-littered paths if you want to maintain covert travel. I've walked many miles in these boots already, and I daresay they are rather comfortable to hike in. I noticed a little discomfort at first, but I think that has to do with being used to walk in such high boots in general, and I've since gotten used to the feel of the boots when going on long hikes. One more thing: these boots are fantastic at keeping the water out. I've stood on the shoreline where the ocean water would come in waves and submerge my feet well up above my ankles, and I noticed that no moisture made its way into the boot. The gore-tex seal is superb. People would warn me not to stand so close to the ocean waves, to which I would laugh heartily at their worries that my boots would somehow be ruined by the seawater as it came flooding around my feet. ... show more
