They were comfy boots.. but I won't be getting the same ones... for a$160 I expect more than one hunt in the stand lol....

They are not meant for actual hunting use, only for sitting around a campfire or relaxing by the fireplace/woodstove, [smile :silly:]Quote:

I'm using a pair of Irish Setter rut masters this year and have logged many many miles in them. No problem yet.
I'm surprised they split. I assume you took them back without any problems. I'd be pizzed is that happened to me. I have a pair of Setters and am happy with them so far. Boots are important tools. Good luck with the replacements.
Ii just retired my Irish Setters after this years deer hunt. Had to have had them over 12 years. Worn but no holes or splits. Just not warm anymore. Gotta pair of Mucks for next season. Hope your dealer gives you some satisfaction...................................Boo g
Call Irish Setter. You are with in warranty to get them fixed or replaced.
Mine lasted me 3 years. The right one split in Moose season and the left one split in Deer season this year. They are a great boot, too bad they did not last longer. they will now be my "back up" boots.Quote:

If you are getting another pair of Irish Setters, try to get a pair of elk trackers or black bears. At least they are all leather. I've been using a pair of Black Bears this season (400 grams of thinsulate), and they are o.k. so far. They're obviously not top quality boots, but they don't seem too bad. I have these boots and a pair of decent quality hikers. I like the hikers better, and I'm sure they will outlast the Irish Setters.
It was actually the leather that split...Quote:

I am thinking Danner Canadians...but am a little hesitant due to price.

I have had the Danner Canadians for 15 years Fishy and sad to say they just developed a slow seep on the left boot. I will replace them with another pair guaranteed. I know the price is steep but how many pair of 150 to 200 dollar boots will you go through over 15 years.?
Good to know! I am also worried about...my lack of attention to taking care of such things...Why I hesitate to spend money on them. Even good stuff don't last if you don't take proper care of it.Quote:
