Irish Setter Ravine Boots w Boa Laces

[@simonestella3311]

I’m a big dude and I’ve been wearing these for the last 3 hunting seasons. I just switched out the insole with a high quality one. I really abuse mine and they’re still going strong. I highly recommend them.

[@tripod7991]

Okay so I wear these boots every day and they are awsome probably one of the best boots ive ever had.

[@darthsoros787]

I work 60-96 hours a week as an industrial electrician, I go through boots yearly, bought some Irish setter Crosbys and they are the bees knees, they're so comfortable I wear them when I'm not working because they look good. Over a year, they just started showing sole wear.

[@andyjansen9411]

I bought a pair on Amazon that doesn't have the BOA system, only regular boot laces. I kind of prefer a system I am used to, comfortable with, and feel easier to fix if there is a problem. The boots themselves are fantastic! I have never had a pair of boots wear so well in it's breakin period. Very comfortable, waterproof, and somewhat breathable. I figure they will be my bug out boots in a SHTF situation.

[@douglastong3208]

I have had a pair of Irish Setters for three years now. Very comfortable and they came in wide sizes, too. I have been looking for boots with the BOA system, because I first tried it on ski boots and loved them. Looks like you found me the perfect combo. Now I hope they'll have my size in stock. Thanks.

[@Allinoffroad]

I got a few pairs of Irish setter boots and love them so much they run alittle narrow so plan accordingly

[@Bestcabinetmaker]

Have 2 pair Red Wings, wear them everyday. Very comfortable, love them. Just resoled one pair for the second time, like new all over again. $100 for a resole job at the Red Wing store, with new laces and fresh oil applied. Not cheap, but good boots!

[@FirearmsofAmerica]

Thank you Sir for your review! I really like the BOA system, I wish they had these in black with BOA.

[@gmbler212]

I've been wearing Irish Setter boots for years driving truck. I use them all year up north in the snow. I usually get 2 to 3 years out of them before replacing them. They've never failed me but I've never had this ratchet system. From what I've experienced with Irish Setters boots I'd give them a try.I switched to these from Bates and I haven't regretted it.

[@gmcenroe]

My favorite boots are Lowa Renegade, they stay water proof and last for a long time and require no breakin for my feet, super comfortable as well.

[@Eric-ew8jt]

I have a pair of WindRiver winter boots rated to -40Celsius with the same lacing system, Still going strong after 5 years

[@MRHEAT20]

Great review- I have been wearing RED WING for at least 25 years but I have always found there laces suck -- I’m going to pick up a pair of those boots- that lace system seems to be a great option

[@paulhughes3961]

I've been wearing boots for every day for more than 30 years, Georgia boots, Danner, Irish Setter, Under Armour and Timberland. I'm very hard on boots and I have yet to find a boot that can last more than 1 year before the sole starts to separate or split. So far the Timberland Pro series seem to be holding up fairly well. As far as a glued sole I prefer a stitched and glued have held up better than just one way or the other.

[@derektodd4126]

You should try V12 brand. Just got 2 years from their Rocky. I just got 2 more pairs, different models to see how they last from everyday use. Great value for money. I usually go for a higher boot with zip side.

[@NickMango]

So I have these boots, but with laces. I can say without a shadow of a doubt, these are incredible boots for the woods. I have 200+ miles of bird hunting across mountain terrain in these, and they feel exactly like new. And I DESTROY gear. Mutilate it. Everything I own I kill. A few important things though: 1. These boots are not waterproof. They are very water resistant, but by no means proof. If you think you’re getting a gumleaf quality waterproofing, you’re mistaken. You can dunk the bottom half of the boot for a second or two. But that’s it. If you go too high or too long, you’ll have wet socks. I’m personally completely ok with that. Just don’t want to confuse people. 2. The coating on the front and side toe area cracks very easily. You can already see it on your outside right boot. I haven’t experienced and issues related to that, and half my coating is gone. Possibly this helps with water resistance, and that’s why you didn’t notice water seepage right away, and I did. But other than that theory, no issues besides aesthetics. 3. I can’t speak to the boa system but I do know that this isn’t a Irish setter product. It’s a licensed product that I’ve seen on other boots. This kind of makes me trust it a little more, because this is what they do. BUT it gets me nervous regarding dual warranties. Putting that aside, if it does work well and for a long time, I’d be very interested in upgrading because getting a boot tight all the way up your foot/leg is so incredibly important for safety. It’s also is important for longevity of the boot. A loose boot will not last as long as a tight boot. A loose boot stretches and deforms and rips. A tight boot holds its shape. And so will your ankles. Great review. Keep us posted 👍

[@nickclifton4978]

Ive been wearing red wing boots with these laces since about 2011 the weak point is the laces ive never gotten more than a year without having to replace the laces and they are kind of a pain. the boots themselves ive gotten up to 3 years out of with daily use. with that being said I still continue to buy them and they are $220 a pair. once you start using them its hard to go back.

[@ginger4life377]

Great review, i've never seen those types of laces before. So cool!. Not enough reviews on outdoor boots on youtube, thanks for this one!

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome boots Sootch00 an that BOA lacking system is very Cool. Thanks for showing thesis boots an long live the republic Sir.

[@lincolnmark8656]

Just had back surgery. My back brace has the same kind of cable tensioning system.

[@bambi4410]

I hope your better!! A year later..How's your back now??

[@themechanic1867]

That’s the only boots I buy Irish setters or any. Red wing. Boots. Unbelievable service. They replace shoes laces. Oil your boots. Anytime you stop in.

[@husky701rider9]

I have used the boa system in different snowboard boots and binding setups. It’s so much nicer than dealing with laces with heavy gloves. Having wearable boots with them seems really nice but they don’t sell them in just classic black.

[@Iowarail]

Correct me if I am wrong but most of Red Wing and Irish Setter is made overseas now. Another American company with oveseas labor and US made prices.

[@mr.excitement689]

Iowarail you have to pay close attention when in store is my best advice. Most stores have 2 different sections with American made vs China made. Usually the price is the dead give away.

[@scotthill6807]

Redwings are made in the USA. I can't speak to the Irish Setter boots. That's what I've read. My Redwings said Made in the USA.

[@lamarasamuel]

Just got a pair today 🙌🏾

[@twiz8789]

I love my Red Wing Irish Setter insulated boots. They were on sale for $130 and bought 2 pairs. Really comfortable and waterproof

[@sootch00]

Good to hear! Thanks Brother!

[@twiz8789]

These look great for hunting, and THANK YOU, Brother!! Love the vids!!

[@talkeetna911ify]

It will be interesting how they wear with the stainless steel against the material

[@halfcantan1208]

I live in Ireland and do a lot of out door stuff first time I heard if these

[@leetexas3924]

Looks like great quality boots.....the BOA system is unique, that's for sure. Great review God Bless

[@douglass69]

I see this as a good work boot, but for those that hike a lot know you need to be able to adjust the tension on different areas of the boot.

[@scruffster2497]

I heard Redwings "other" brands like Irish Setter are made in China. And NO they can't be resoled.

[@fishman80]

this is great! if they make them in a wide im in. im usually limited bc of having wide feet. will check them out. great review as always. Reasonably priced for high quality

[@politicallyunreliable4985]

Magnums (Hi-Tech) have been super comfortable since the early 1990's. That being said, you got me, I'm curious.

[@Enes-wj5xq]

Durable of 8 million steps, wow !!

[@MichaelR58]

Thanks for sharing !

[@mikeboone4425]

Love my sitters and Red wing now for some 48 years I think, but I do not like the Boa system I need tension in odd places places on my feet it just does not work for me. Happy Trails

[@constructiontech1970]

Nice boots! Great vid Don!

[@kempoguy7597]

LOL, you advertise many nice sets of boots, but I'm still wearing my early 1980's combat boots from the military.

[@240weatherby3]

Looked like they were a little sloppy on your feet. Did you have good ankle support? Would like to see a follow up video in a couple months

[@ulkesh78]

I've had the redwing with this style lace for years. Find myself having to constantly retighten them during the day. Easy enough to do, but the tension doesn't hold for any length of time for me.

[@NickelSpeedShop]

Into reminds me of Earl Dibbles Jr... check the roof, cross the creek, climb the hill... just waiting to see Sootch jam a whole tin of grizzly in his lip.

[@oabouhatsira4901]

Any testing or idea how the locking mechanism can unlocks in the event of falling and hitting branches at lower level? It seems quite simple to get it pulled and unlocks and you are left with no shoe. Please advise or correct if I am wrong. Love your videos.

[@truebornsonofliberty554]

I’ve seen good reviews but have felt they’re a gimmick. Not sure what to think. They’re not cheap and am hesitant to take a chance. The fact they’ve just started popping up all over KZbin at the same time makes me suspicious.

[@sootch00]

Always do your research. I've been really impressed but until I get a couple months wearing them, I will reserve my final judgement. Thanks

[@truebornsonofliberty554]

sootch00 thanks for the reply, Sootch. Since I don’t get these sent to me, I’ll have to wait to see how extended use and wear effect them. I’m not in any position to be a beta tester. I have an ammo habit to feed as my priority.

[@jadedoptimist6364]

I agree. Its like the Carbon 60 (C60). It came out of nowhere and it claims to be a cure all. Hmmmmm. At least the boots aren't taken internally. I may try them.

[@openmythirdeye]

Go to REI, the sales people are usually knowledgeable. Plus you have 1 year to return them for any reason.

[@Brian-vz5cu]

I've been an Irish setter fan for a few years. The wing shooter and Ashby boots haven't let me down yet. I might have to give these a try next time I'm due for a new pair.

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

I want to give a shout out and say thank you for putting the Michigan Mitten on each boot although the Democrats have the left hand thanks for your Channel and I appreciate your knowledge and expertise

[@hengdju5306]

It's very nice, i wished i could afford it.....

[@jorqlip]

Seem like a great buy but I can’t find it on amazon only the female version!

[@phyllismulkey3778]

wow those are some nice boots

[@kevinjones2088]

Been wanting a pair of these please do the update and let us know what they are like then. Great video

[@mrkojak-ci1zm]

Looks fantastic. I have to see the temp range or if they have a cold weather version. I live in Washington state and it gets cold up here . Great vid

[@mrmuck3917]

Rocky S2V's, you want the best? These are hands down the best!

[@oliverallen5324]

Why don’t tourniquets use a BoA system?

[@superboy305]

Question, how long were you on your feet? I have a side job where I might be on my feet for 8-10hrs straight.

[@JasonSmith-xo9qr]

Look at the tong are these make in the USA or are they assembled in the USA from outside source. It does give the country of origin.

[@DOCSAFETUBE]

Very good review my brother I have heard of them but never bought any of their boots. Is there only one color or how many colors?

[@anthonyellison4737]

Hmmm yeah puma disc came out like 30 years ago

[@zechnarwilliams8019]

plastic ratchet points, what could go wrong?

[@silasmorand8173]

Really nice video man! Will these boots have a Christmas sale?

[@pathdoc60]

Did you mean Neoprene for the insert areas or is it another material? Thanks.

[@JOB1925pk]

Spend $250 and get ya a pair of Asolo Fugitive GTX boots...Great Boots!!!

[@kfeltenberger]

I know it's like asking to compare a frankengun AR to a high end manufacturer's AR, but how are your first impressions on these as compared to the LAPG side zip boots that you've reviewed?

[@chuckoaks6756]

I can tell you that the lapg boots are great for the first 6 months or so. but when worn daily they get side stretch and sloppy. the soles get really hard. In cold weather they have really hard soles. I have had mine for quite a while now and they do hold up but I wouldn't buy them again.

[@rodsofgod6863]

I'm not concerned about the steel lace but the lace points, are they plastic?!!

[@TheTyrial86]

So you need wire cutters to cut the laces on a hiking boot?

[@jasonnav9969]

Nice!

[@rock283]

Hey Sootch, Do you have any thoughts on the current Paris riots?

[@catherinebottari6347]

How have they held up?

[@samuelrocha5323]

Very Nice

[@sootch00]

Thanks Samuel!

[@ferway6295]

I will never again purchase another product made by Irish Setter! I bought a $200 dollar pair of Irish Setter Kastoa work boots and they lasted a total of 27 days before the soles started coming apart. Both of my big toes were on fire at the end of the work day. I had to wear band aids on both big toes to reduce the pain. I ended up throwing them in the trash after a month. Worst boot purchase I've ever made.

[@operationNOBO]

Let me tell you exactly why not to use these boots in a shtf scenario or for normal use. I have the same boa system except they are for fishing...the Irish Setters actually have more of the wire exposed. The wire in mine has a 100lb strength and guess what... 3 times they have broken. Unless you carry the small allen wrench and a new full piece of wire with a crimp, you are sol. They have busted on sagebrush and downed logs. Nothing is more of a moral downer than having to walk with a loose boot...especially in uneven terrain or through water. Get lace up boots and carry 550cord or extra laces. Ill never get Boa again for fishing or normal use foot wear.

[@DrewEdwardBacklas]

Feel like that “cable” lacing system would wear through the tongue and also dig into the top of your foot?

[@simonestella3311]

DrewEdwardBacklas nope

[@alexv6324]

Are they faux or sourced from real Irish Setters?

[@goldrush16280]

I bought a pair of the Afton hiker steel toe for work and they are the biggest piece of crap for boots I have ever owned.

[@DQ_ftw]

These boots are not for sale at cabelas or bass pro currently would love to try them but those are both in my area and neither have them in store or online

[@Qubits4]

So they can't be resoled?

[@Crazy_clown6969]

What is the warranty on them

[@JeffWallace2009]

These boots aren’t nearly as durable as the Irish Setter Snow Claw or Grizzly Tracker. Is this model currently being made in China? Ravine actually seems gimmicky to me.

[@HezakiahRhinehart]

Are these the 9 or7 inch boots?

[@jhlewis10]

The last pair of Irish Setter boots I had where poorly made.

[@jesselopez904]

HANWAG SPECIAL FORCES BOOTS!! NUFF SAID. PEACE

[@pfarraldcash6095]

That's the smartest thing I've ever seen in the footwear industry. and should the mechanism be broken you can still move paracord

[@lorengriffin6788]

mxx pro Is

[@GFox...]

Sportmans guide does not have the ravines with the Boa lace style!! Also, Redwings started making their boots in China years ago, and that's when their quality went down hill.

[@dsarti1]

try running them thru a muddy barnyard those little holes will fill with mud and horse poo in a hurry

[@dave09650]

Ok so am I the only person that saw the shirt he is wearing is an anti 2A company? I am not bashing him but I do believe we as a community need to NOT support these companies.

[@karlhester6105]

It was my thought also when I saw the hoodie Sootch is wearing. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and ask him to look into Levi's rescent actions. I believe I learned about Levi from the Gun Collective. The KZbin gun channels people are a tightknit group so it should be easy for him to confirm what we are calling out. Brand awareness is important and boycotts do have an impact.

[@jflin01]

sootch00, reply?

[@Rfpepe7295]

Levi isn't "anti 2a"..They are just "pro" common sense

[@creepingmee]

@@Rfpepe7295 FUDD ALERT!

[@wkuadkins]

Levi Strauss & Co. is taking a stand against gun violence, an unexpectedly political move from the all-American denim company that could turn off some customers - but also win it points with a new segment of shoppers. The San Francisco-based retailer said last week it is pledging more than $1 million to support nonprofits and youth activists who are working to end gun violence. The company is also partnering with Michael Bloomberg to help create a coalition of business leaders who support gun control measures and encouraging employees to get involved in political causes.

[@digs1223]

I don't like the look of that boa system. I like my boots tighter in some spots than others, though I've never tried it so I can't say for sure.

doesn't come in narrow width so once again can't wear em.

I HATE boots lol but these seem too fix a lot of problems i have with boots.

well they look good but they are MADE in China so that is a deal killer for me. love your videos though.
