Opinions on Irish Setter Vaprtrek boots?

Get you some Lacrosse. You might not be warm, but you should stay dry. I have yet to find a boot that keeps me warm, I have too far of a walk to my stands.

Well, the cold part was more an effect of being wet. I have a pair of Lacrosse boots already, but I don't much care for them when I'm hunting terrain with more slope. Not enough support or grip for my liking.

I have the snake proof ones an they are waterproof, keep my feet warm and comfortable as all get out.

I just brought some back due to Xmas gift and not exactly the right fit. Want to buy another set. Wild how this is a current thread. My only concern when looking at them was that there is a visible glue where the rubber of the sole meets the side of the shoe... RIGHT where the color changes at the seam. I wonder if this separates more easily than I want it to. Only a 6 month guarantee on damage that isn't user caused. But I'm a BIG believer in vasque and red wing as companies. Don't know much about Irish setters except that a buddy swears by his tall snake boot version of the same boot.

Also a major fan of their top lace up technology. normally have to feed each ankle lace around a peg, but I'm these boots case u jist cinch it up and it all pulls.

I have had mine for two seasons and they are comfortable and haven’t leaked yet. They have not separated at the area you are talking about (I had some dinners that did separate in a year). I have the snake boot versions and so do about 4 other guys in my hunting club. They are like wearing a pair of sneakers in the woods even with the 17 in boot height on the snake boot model. They don’t seem to pinch my ankle like my dancers did. Buy with confidence but I would say go a 1/2 a size or size larger because mine seemed to run small plus wearing thicker socks when it is cold out.

ETA: danners not dancers or dinners
