Irish SetterKasota, Men’s, 8", BOA, Waterproof, Insulated 400g, Non-Metallic Safety Toe, Work Boot

UPDATE 3 and Final:After 1-1/2 months solid worn every day 8-12 hours, the boots have exceeded my initial opinion by a lobg shot. Getting in and out is no longer an issue, there is very little side pressure on my feet even at the end of the day, no overtightness or too much room either. A very good boot.They wear well also. I haven't tested them by submersion but I work in the water process industry and work in very wet conditions and the boots are dry. (I also spray all my work boots with Boeshield so that may be a factor as well). Up to 5 stars now.I was wrong, just give them time. Good job Irish Setter.UPDATE 2:They are breaking in nicely and seem quite comfortable, though I havent spent 8-12 hours in them yet. Sizing is still a bit off, that "XX-Wide" is no better than a normal width "E". Added a star to four.UPDATE:After much talcum powder and 3-4 steady days in these boots, they have become easier to get into/out of. They are also becoming less restrictive in the width. I haven't had a chance to test their water-proofness yet but I hace sprayed them down with Boeshild with no ill effect. More stars added for the decent break-in.I currently have 2 pairs of the older versions of I.S. Two Harbors pull-ons, size 12D, which I keep at different locations. As of late, because of my age the Two Harbors are becoming difficult to pull on and the toe box is a now a little resrictive.I wanted the same boot in a wider size but the Two Harbor XX-wide size 12 were sold out. Instead I was able to get this Kasota boa constrictor in size 12 XX-wide and decided to guve them a shot.Nice looking boot, I'm sure it's well made BUT-It us more difficult to get my feet into them than the pull-on Two Harbors, and they are much more constrictive in the width than my Two Harbors 12D size. Maybe they're extra wide in Chiner or Vietnam but for a 6- foot American male they are no wider than a standard size shoe, no BS.I had these shipped to a remote locale so return is not an option, maybe I can ge some use out of them with thinner socks. I reordered the Two Harbors but in a larger size 13, I'll update when I see how those fit.Irish Setters, get your sizing act together.

I bought these for my dad and he loved them. They as such good quality and are honestly worth the money. They are durable but not too heavy. They fit comfortably and are honestly the best shoes for blue collar workers

Love these boots and everything about them but like everything it is not perfect I wear theses boots for welding I was really surprised how long BOA held up reason I bought the boot was the BOA if you snowboarder your no stranger to them and if they break they are a quick fix my regular boot Laces would always catch on fire. And I would always frequently be replacing laces on my boot. First, to go on my boots where the sides. Needs better stitching, for the sides part last thing you want is water in your boot .. this pair lasted me 2 years strong otherwise in my field I would be regular buying boots every 6 months but this one has done its job well.

A little hard to get on but fit great once they are on. Love these boots!

Ordered the 6” Kasota boots. Liked them so much I ordered the 8” insulated 400 gram ones. I wear heavy winter wool socks , so I ordered a 1/2 size larger in double wide and my feet aren’t cramped and stay warm. I’ve had several Boa lace boots prior to getting the Irish Setters, and love this lace system. Composite toe and Waterproof are several of the other features which I find important.Hopefully Irish Setter will keep this model for years to come!

Boots are comfortable and my feet stay warm and dry. I work outside for 12 hours a day

These boots are a little over a year old only and already falling apart already. For the price paid, these should last a long time. No longer waterproof, obvy. Not pleased!

I purchased this boot for my grandson who works at an alligator sanctuary and he loves them.
