Irish Setter VaprTrek boot

Manufactured using U.S.-raised steer hides, the VaprTrek from Irish Setter is a comfortable, water-resistant, scent-blocking 8" full-grain leather boot with a multi-purpose camouflage pattern—making it a great choice for hunters putting in long days. Reinforced in high-wear areas for added durability, VaprTrek boots are surprisingly comfortable thanks to a memory foam insole and ample cushioning in the boot’s collar. A relief engineered into the tongue also minimizes pressure on the wearer’s shin that can be a source of irritation in other boots. Both regular (sizes 6-15) and extra-wide (sizes 8-14) versions of the boots are offered. Price: $210. Contact: Red Wind Shoe Co.; (888) 738-8370; irishsetterboots.com.
