Rooted In Tradition

For more than seven decades, the Irish Setter Wingshooter has set the standard for rugged, dependable boots that perform in the field and on the job. First introduced in 1950 as a premium upland hunting boot, the Wingshooter quickly earned a reputation for its full-grain waterproof leather, iconic prairie sole, and all-day comfort — traits that made it a favorite among sportsmen and outdoor professionals alike.

Today, Wingshooter remains one of Irish Setter’s best-selling boot families, trusted by hunters, tradespeople, and weekend adventurers alike. Each boot blends decades of craftsmanship with modern features like UltraDry™ waterproof protection, durable Goodyear welt construction, and versatile styles for hunting, work, and everyday wear.

Whether you’re tracking game in wet conditions or working hard on your feet all day, the Wingshooter delivers reliable comfort, lasting durability, and a performance legacy that’s stood the test of time.

The Story Behind The Legendary Wingshooter

In 1950, Red Wing Shoes introduced boot style 854, crafted with distinctive Red Russet leather which inspired the Irish Setter name. Irish Setter became the premier boot brand for generations of hunters and workers by proving itself in the field and on the job site. Today, more than 120 years of Red Wing work boot experience, combined with the over 75-year legacy of Irish Setter outdoor footwear, result in purpose-built Irish Setter footwear for the avid hunter and modern craftsman. The Wingshooter has been an iconic boot in the line since the beginning of the brand. It started with an upland hunting boot and has expanded to mid and heavy duty work boots, all with a variety of features and options.
