Red wing Elk Tracker or Irish setter

[Greenthumbed]

I'm thinking about getting a pair of Redwings. Wondering what you folks think of these boots.

Thanks

I have the Irish setter elk trackers. There a good early season boot they only have 400 g of insulation. Good comfortable boots. But they soak through quickly if it’s wet

Are yours gore Tex lined?

[Rayne]

No I cheaped out.

For hunting boots, why not spend a bit more to get something really good: Hanwag, Meindl, Kenetrek etc?

My Meindl's are only 200gr thinsulate, but they are bombproof and my feet stay warm even down to frigid temps.

I agree, especially for that sheep draw you just pulled!

Ha! It would seem that all of a sudden I need a real mountain boot, now doesn't it?

That’s for sure .... save the elk trackers for them whitetails you get.... for the draw you got I be talkin to Bigwhiteys on here or Stone Sheep Steve or the many more advid sheep hunters on here I haven’t mentioned.... save the trackers for the still hunts in the woods.

I wear Irish Setters with 1000g insulation. They are great, I have no complaints. I don't spend a huge amount of time in the bush and I remember reading they are not as durable now as they used to be, but all my stitching, etc, is fine after 5 year. I've never had a problem with wet feet either, but I hunt region 3 where it's fairly dry, and I always put gaiters on.

I should have added (like Frango did) that I take care to oil my boots well each year with mink oil. The leather is extremely supple and comfortable. Wool socks & you're comfy alllllllllllll day even in -C temperatures.
