Default Irish Setter Boots

Does anybody have any opinions on Irish Setter boots? I am looking for some light boots to where out in the moutains this fall. I know the danner's are the way to go, but The Irish setters are alot cheaper and they seam like really light & confortable boots. What do you think of them?

I've got a pair of the Elk Trackers & worn the hell out of them last year for a week in Alberta, they are great boots for the price.

I have a pair of Buck Trackers I think they're called. They are one of the best pair of hunting boots I've ever owned. They are pull ons around calf high 1200 grams of Thinsulate and do a good job of keeping your toes nice and warm. When ever I need a new pair of hunting boots Irish Setters will be what I look for first.

Irish setters will do fine for gentler terrain,but for the mountains I wear only Meindls.I find them much more comfortable than Danners,totally waterproof and they offer great support in the rocks,or with heavy packs.

Just bought the Irish Setter-ShadowTrek w/ 800 gm. Theyjust came out and arevery comfortable. They offerthem w/o insulation if you want and cost only 100 - 110 dollars. I have a pair of Rocky Bear Claws and don't care to use them anymore. Another one you might look at is the Wolverine 12 point's. Good luck finding them local -Icould only get them from Cabelas or Bass Pro Shops.

Irish setters are very good. I believe that they are made by Red Wing. They will compare to Danner.

Irish Setter is all I ware. Insulated or uninsulated they ware well and are very comfortable. I recently purchased the Elk Hunter with the kangaroo leather and they are great.

I bought a pair for upland hunting a couple of years back. Very comfortable and agreat price. The only complaint that I have is that the tread isn't very aggressive. Irish Setter must think that upland hunters walk on smooth, dry surfaces.
