Irish SetterAshby, Men's, 6", Aluminum Safety Toe, Work Boot

I finally broke down and bought a new pair of Irish Setters since in last few months the toe has started to wear out. I bought my first pair in Sept of 2021. I got to say I’m very impressed with the durability of them and overall have been great boot! I’m a diesel technician so I’m on my feet all day, jumping up and down off of trucks and have never had sore feet after getting home at night. Also I work with a bunch of different solvents and fluids which I was worried about when I first purchased these boots because I thought the harshness of the fluids would prematurely wear out the soles but that wasn’t the case at all! Would definitely recommend them to anyone in the trades and if you can change out the insoles for a more custom fit for your foot.

I've always bought higher end boots. These are my first pair of moc toes. I usually go with thorogood. But they have gone up to 300 bucks. These were 150. Figure I would try. They look great out of the box. But to my surprise they are super comfortable right out the box. Soft leather. They feel as if they are already broken in. And there not yet. Only time will tell if they hold up. But for the price. I am very happy. Most comfortable boot I've ever put on right out of the box. And i am on my feet 12 hrs a day. 5 to 7 days a week. These are well worth the price in my opinion. I ordered a half size larger than my normal. Fit was perfect.

Took them out of the box yesterday, put them on my feet, and wore them for 10+ hours. Wore them again all day today, and spent at least half my day on a ladder. Yeah, my feet are a little sore, but no blisters or real problems to speak of, and I’m not even wearing proper boot socks.They look good, too. Got my first compliment at work today.A few thoughts:* The color is darker than I expected. Almost espresso. Nice, but the belt I bought to match... doesn’t. I’ll need to get a new one.* They run large. I wear a 13D in almost every other brand of boot or shoe, but in these, I’m a 12D.* The toe box has plenty of room. I’ve had to return other brands of safety toe boots due to fit problems in the toe, but these are just right.* You can (and should) experiment with lacing patterns to dial in the fit. Google “how to lace boots” for some suggestions if you’re not sure where to start.* The included laces aren’t great; do yourself a favor and spend the extra ten bucks on a nicer set. I went with 45” Honey Badgers and they’re perfect.* They don’t have much arch support. My next upgrade may be a set of insoles.Overall, I’m very impressed with these boots, and my minor complaints aren’t worth losing a star over. I’ve had my eye on a pair of Red Wing moc-toes for years, but I never got over the sticker shock. These are a great alternative for half the price.

We did our research and everything we found indicated that Irish Setters were the best boots for working on roofs. My son installs solar panels, and more often than not, that puts him on a roof. What he's found with these is that they are great for shingle roofs, but terrible on a metal roof. They don't provide any traction on metal, so he ended up sliding, which can be a hazard. In every other aspect, he says these are terrific work boots, and he wears them daily unless he's going to be working on a metal roof. The boots are well made and durable, and he says they're comfortable as far as work boots go - a little snug at the toe, but other than that, a good fit. What he ended up with was he wears these most days, but he carries a backup pair for days when they're working on a metal roof.

As other reviewers have observed, this boot runs large. It's a little confounding why Red Wing doesn't just increase the size designations rather than perpetuate the confusion over this model - i.e. a size 10 would be designated as size 10.5 or 11. I suspect it would address the level of confusion experienced by purchasers and reduce the number of exchanges for a smaller size.The above acknowledged, I prefer to add a thick arch support inside my work boots and wear two layers of heavy socks, so I still purchased my usual size. Ordinarily, I wear a 10 D in most shoes. I still ordered size 10D and that size accommodates my socks and insert just fine. This is a rugged work boot with an aluminum toe and heavy leather construction, so don't expect it to feel like a pair of dockers or your favorite sandals. It definitely has a substantial feel. If you're accustomed to a "large shoe experience," that is a substantial footprint with the need to adopt a deliberate gait as you walk, then you'll probably like this shoe just fine. It serves me well because my feet are well protected and I don't experience a lot of foot fatigue when wearing them for several hours on concrete floors. Admittedly, these boots aren't for everyone. Be aware that they are are over-sized. If you want to wear them with a light pair of socks and no arch support, you may do well to consider ordering a full size smaller than you accustomed to wearing in most other shoes.

This is the first pair of decent boots and it’s been a whole new world. If you’re on the fence just do it your feet will thank you.

I purchased these boots for work. The style and color are great, but they have no cushion on the inside making them uncomfortable to wear all day long for work. Save the money and get a better quality pair

I wear the Irish setters in the warehouse. Loading docks have a concrete surface, I go inside semis load them with a conveyor by hand. Boots provide comfort for 10-14 hour shifts

Están super cómodas, muy suave el cuero, muy buen soporte en tobillo, buena estabilidadMuy recomendadas Excelente producto

These don't have the green patch because they don't meet puncture resistance ratings, however they are what you expect from Red Wings - well built and comfortable. If you can find a better made boot for that price point let me know..

Estás botas están formidables .....solo q son algo amplias ya q yo tengo pie delgado y se miran más grandes q una bota cat ....las uso todo el día sin problemas ....son robustas pero ese es su estilo ....si eres amante d botas d trabajo t encantarán combinan con jeans bermudas y skinys

es un producto de alta calidad, son un poco pesadas y si no estas acostumbrado a este tipo de calzado te costara trabajo adaptarte pero en general super bien, como consejo pide medo numero menos del que calzas ya que viene un poco grande.

Very comfortable boot right from the first hour easy to remove foot at end of day no prying your foot out I like and recommend these because I wear them 10 hours a day....
