RE: Danner or Irish Setter
I have both and they have both served me well. I will say for an all leather boot I liked the Danner better. I have the Danner "Trophy" model and compared them to the "Elk Hunter", for me the Danners were the better boot. They have been superb and replaced my old pair of Danner "Canadians" that served me very well for many years. The Irish Setters I have are the Trackers (800 grams) and I have been pleased for the 5 years I have owned them.
Good Luck

RE: Danner or Irish Setter
I like the Irish Setter boots. They fit my foot better than Danner’s. Last year I purchased a pair of Setters called Elk Hunters. They are 10” with kangaroo leather. Like bedroom slippers.

RE: Danner or Irish Setter
Irish setters have a well earned rep. I own some redwings myself. But the new setters are almost or completely made in China. Danner still has some boots made in USA. Also check out browning which are made by the venerable HH brown co. They also have some USA made boots starting at a couple of hundred bucks

RE: Danner or Irish Setter
I own a pair of both Danner and Irish Setters. Both are Kangaroo hyde with gore-tex (uninsulated). Both are excellent boots with similar construction and longevity. I would try a pair of both of them on and see which one fits/feels better and is in your price range. Personally, I don't think you will be disappointed with either.

If you are looking for an excellent American made boot try the Russell Moccasin Company.

RE: Danner or Irish Setter
I've never owned a pair of Danners but I guess I need to get some, if they arte better than Irish Setters. I just got back from a 6 day wilderness hunt for Elk & Deer in Alberta & my Elk Trackers were the best thing I bought for the trip. They are hands down the best hunting boot I have owned.

RE: Danner or Irish Setter
When I was at the Sidney, Ne Cabela's store I asked the the clerk in the footwear department what is the lightest hightop, waterproof boot they sell. He said,"Danner Pronghorn". Three years later of heavy use I am still getting good service out of the pair I purchased.
