Absolutely fabulous shoe! It fits perfectly, very stylish for a work boot and the leather is butter soft. The foot bed is very comfortable and hugs the foot without suffocating it. I always purchase high-end shoes (Cole Haan, Marc Nason, Bruno Magli, etc...) and this boot ranks right up there. In fact, I purchased this Irish Setter boot to wear exclusively at the shooting range, but it is so comfortable, that it has become my normal daily wear boot. You can't go wrong with this one! Take it from someone who is very picky about footwear.

I've worn my Red Wing Softpaws for almost ten years now. Mostly walking to work, and hiking on the back roads and trails with the dog. There's no doubt in my mind that I must have 5000 miles on them, and they are starting to look tired. I oil them four times a year and usually alternate days with another pair of boot, but these have been far a away the best and most comfortably boot I've had. The sole are in fact soft. I wouldn't recommend them for really rough terrain hiking, but for the back roads and urban walks they simply can't be beat. I'm currently waiting for Zappos to get some larger sizes in stock and I'll be ordering a new pair.

This is an excellent boot. Good toe room, soft and comfortable, though not quite as right-out-of-the-box as my Keen boots. It's good looking, sorta traditional with a bit of style, and the sole is a good contrast and doesn't make the boot look like a two or three-tone 57 Chevy.

Boot looks terrific. The size feels true to size, except a bit narrow. I wore for the first time today, all day. The boot was comfortable to wear to the office, shopping at Costco, as well as tramping around in the forest during our first snow. The only problem I have with the boots are the shoestrings. I must have re-tied them at least 10 times. Very irritating. Will have to remedy in the future. Would recommend. A bit pricey for my tastes, but worth the extra doe.

I've bought at least 2 pairs of these boots. They look good, are comfortable, and they last. The laces that come with Irish Setter boots aren't great -- replacements from Walmart are great. I wear them to the office, but I wouldn't hesitate hunting in mild weather in them.

My husband loves these boots. The fit is perfect and the style looks good with jeans and his hunting gear. The leather is soft and is waterproof.

I searched the Red Wing web site to find this specific pair of footwear. They had none in stock. I have owned a pair of this Irish Setter boot for a number of years. They are comfortable all day, useful on different types of terrain and easy to clean.

I tried the shoes on and unlike the other shoes I bought before they feel like I will not have problem breaking them in. They feel a bit on the hard side but compared to other shoes that I bought they do feel comfortable. I’m on my feet 18 hours a day and I need something easy on my feet.

I wear these boots for work and am constantly traveling. They are, without question, the best boots for daily wear that I've ever had on my feet. I am into the 3rd year of this pair and they still look nearly new and feel like an extension of my foot. My secret is to have them cleaned and shined 3-5 times during the first few weeks of wearing them. And then continue a quality cleaning and shining regimen thereafter. They have form fitted to my feet and the leather has continued to shine, remain supple and wear fantastically. I know I've worn them for hundreds of miles but the sole remains lightly but evenly worn.
I can't recommend them highly enough.

I ordered these for my husband, and he loves them. He usually wears a 10, but in these a 101/2 fit better so they run a little small. He says they have great support, and could wear them all day right from the start. Don't hesitate to buy.

I bought my first pair of these boots 5 years ago and I'm still wearing them to work every day. Although some of the waterproofing has worn off, everything else about the boots are still in great condition. I'm looking to get an identical pair to replace my existing ones. I'm really hard on my boots and if I can get 5 years out of them, if recommend them to anyone. The comfort is unbelievable. They're by far the most comfortable boots I've ever owned.

These are a really great pair of boots. The comfort is really great & they come on & off really easy & it takes very little time to break in.

Generally they are good. Material is stiff and rigid, slow to break in. Fairly waterproof. The strap that holds the laces on the tongue, broke -- not long after purchase. Decent overall for a discontinued product, that is a low cut.

Very Boxy in the Toe area. I have a narrow foot but usually can wear Red Wing/Irsh Setter D Width with no slippage.

I needed new work boots so I bought these because the reviews told about how comfortable they were and my wife liked the look of them. They were comfortable as far as the fit of the upper part of the boot goes, however the sole left me thinking "really?". Putting in my orthotics help some but I can't imagine wearing them all day. If you think leather sole dress shoes are comfortable you might like these but if you like wearing shoes with some forefoot cushioning you'll probably send them back like I'm going to. I guess my wife will have to continue seeing me wear comfortable but ugly work boots.
