Irish Setter Elk Tracker

Does anyone have experience with these? Durability, waterproofing, and warmth?

I had a pair of the low top version of those that they used to make (cant remember what they were called). They were super comfortable. Mine were uninsulated so they were as warm as any other uninsulated leather boot. I had no issue with the waterproofness, I treated them with boot oil. The only complaint i had with them was they were not sufficiently stiff/supportive for really rugged terrain. We did a day of rough rocky country with A LOT of sidehilling and I got some NASTY blisters (had to take the next day off of hunting). If you aren't planning on hunting sheep type country they should be a fine choice, but if you are looking for a boot for the steep stuff I would look at something else. And I am a huge fan of Red Wings (my dad worked for them for 40 years and i grew up wearing them).

I've been using these for the last couple of years.....can't say enough good about them. I run the un insulated and my feet still are fairly warm. When the soles do start wearing, the traction in snow is not very good but I've got 2 years on them and highly recommend them. I also wear them at work.

They are very comfortable. I wear them to work, camp and hunting.

I liked them so much that I got my father a pair but his soles essentially rotted away in a year. We are working on getting him a new pair right through the manufacturer.

Mine are 2.5 years old and going strong.

I’ve been wearing these for the past several years and have had two pairs but recently switched to schnees. I have the 200g thinsulate and have had good experiences with them. I hunt in Washington and with all of the rain have never had wet feet. I’ll wear thin wool socks in early season and remained comfortable. I’ve put hundreds of miles on them but the uppers became way too flexible. Overall really good boots though

I appreciate all the info. I think I am going to order a pair and hopefully use them in montana this winter.

I love mine, they have held up really well for me. They are a little heavy, but waterproof and comfortable. I think you will like them... a lot. Happy trails.

I've used them for a lot of years. No complaints. I have a 1000 gram pair right now. I bought a pair of Kenetrek Mountain Extremes last Fall. I found I like the stiffer boot better. The Elk Tracker is a great boot for the money. mtmuley

I bought a pair of the 10" 400 insulated last fall. Wore them all through the winter as my everyday boots. They seem good solid all-around boots. Myself, I like the big roomy toe box. Keeps my feet dryer (from sweat) and warmer.

Glad to see the reviews. I bought a pair this spring and have around 100 miles on them. So far so good. I’ve got the uninsulated and they are plenty warm.

I like them enough that I want to get another pair (uninsulated) for the warmer weather.
