ORIGINAL Vtg - US-MADE - IRISH SETTER - 'Canoe Toe' Boots

Bought In Minneapolis USA - 1995

Size: 7 UK  US 7.5  Men's




GENUINE VTG - USA-MADE - IRISH SETTER BOOTS - Bought in 1996 in Minneapolis USA - where the factory was then located.

IRISH SETTER were a traditional boot manufacturer - with a reputation for producing high-quality, traditionally made outdoor/work boots. And after being acquired by RED WING were kept as their PREMIUM HERITAGE BRAND.

And I bought these on the advice of my US brother-in-law. However, they proved too small and I only wore them ONCE - before putting them away carefully - until now.

They therefore remain perfect and the heavy grain leather is as supple as the day they were made.

And over the years I've had a couple of pairs of standard Red Wing boots - though none were of the quality/finish of these. And, IF they fitted - I would not be selling them now ...  :   (

N.B. I understand Irish Setter is still marketed as R-Wing's Premium Brand - However, I understand they are now manufactured in China, and are not of the same quality (despite the marketing).



Sizing:

SIZE: G 7 UK 7.5 USA Men's (ESTIMATE)

When I bought these I was a UK7.5; and tho I recall these were a UK7 (the only pair in stock at around my size). And I believed with wear they might stretch). However, after only wearing them very gently ONCE - they felt just slightly too SHORT to be comfortable - and therefore I simply stored them - till now ...

So UK 7 - would be the Safer Sizing for any potential buyer  :   )

N.B. Please check the sole measurements against something similar that you have - as there are NO SIZE CODES anywhere on these boots (as they must have been on the original box).



Sole Measurements:

Length - 11.5/8"

Width -  4.5/8"


N.B.  please check size/measurements CAREFULLY against something similar you already wear :   )

And they'll be wrapped - individually; and sent in a shoe box


Background

We've acquired quite a lot of vintage, incl. High Street fashion, and household collectables for over 20 years. And we're looking to slim things down, as we're intending to move at the end of 2024/25

However, nothing being offered will be 'tired' or worn-out - be it Vintage or otherwise ...
 
And, as we know the disappointment of receiving things that are not as presented, we'll be making every effort to describe things fully and honestly, and giving any guidance we can on sizing.  

All items sent clean & ready to wear.
