In 1950, Red Wing introduced style 854, crafted with Red Russet leather which inspired the Irish Setter name. Irish Setter became the brand for generations by proving itself in the field and on the job site. Today, more than 110 years of Red Wing work boot experience, combined with the over 60-year legacy of Irish Setter outdoor footwear, results in purpose-built Irish Setter footwear for work and hunt.
GROUNDBREAKING INNOVATIONS
These are just a few of the key technologies we employ to make Irish Setter boots as tough as the conditions they are worn in.
- High- Rebound Energy Return-Strategically placed high-rebound material brings high-end athletic shoe technology to more practical applications, delivering a recharging burst of energy with every step.
- RPM Technology-A breakthrough composite material that significantly reduces the weight of the boot, providing extreme comfort and added endurance. Engineered to provide the durability and strength of traditional materials without the extra weight.
- Ultra Dry-Our UltraDry™ construction combines a moisture management lining with waterproof components for dry, long-lasting comfort and performance.
- Tempsens-This technology reacts to your body temperature and sweat level to keep you dry and comfortable. When you’re hot, this innovative Swiss technology cools you down by vaporizing moisture and removing body heat. And if you’re chilly it retains your body heat to keep you from getting too cold. It’s like your personal thermometer.
- Thermalboost-THERMALBOOST is a revolutionary, multi-zone barrier system that delivers serious insulating protection against brutal cold and biting wind. ThermalBoost is strategically built into specific areas of the boot, such as the toe box, beneath the insole and within the footbed, where heat loss is most common.
