I've owned several pairs of Irish Setter boots - all with the white prairie sole. When I saw these, I decided to try them. This is also the first pair with the Ultra Dry waterproofing; my other pairs had GoreTex.
Like the other Irish Setter boots I've owned, these are comfortable right out of the box. The Ultra Dry lining is thicker than the GoreTex, so it looks like the boot is insulated which is not a good thing here in the sub-tropical South. However it is no warmer than the previous pairs I've owned.
These are comfortable boots that do well with all the tasks I use then for and good-looking enough for casual wear.
