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.
Having owned Red Wing boots with the same lacing system I would never go back to manual laces. These boots are lightweight and comfortable. About $100 less than the last pair of Red Wings I have. I would buy these again if needed.
My first pair of these were great! The BOA system is really nice if your boots get super dirty like mine. You don’t have dirty gross laces to mess with at the end of the day. The slip resistant soles work really well, and they are anti-puncture (very important at my last job where I walked on sharp objects a lot). They lasted about a year, with heavy use every day in all types of weather. This second pair however, only lasted a few weeks. The BOA cable got routed incorrectly during assembly, causing the boot to tear, and ultimately, the cable to snap. Lucky, returns with Amazon are easy. I’ll be ordering the same boot again, but this time I will check them out more closely once they arrive, before I wear them.
Boots are comfortable and my feet stay warm and dry. I work outside for 12 hours a day
Only 3 months of equipment operator work (not hard) and they are falling apart.
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!
I purchased this boot for my grandson who works at an alligator sanctuary and he loves them.
Boots are great, fit good, 100% waterproof and are warm. The only thing is I’ve had them less then 2 months and the bottom of the soles are wearing fast. I doubt they will make it through the hole winter before its like walking on a slick which in my line of work will not be sufficient.
