We Put the Irish Setter Wingshooter ST to Work
We laced up the Irish Setter Wingshooter ST work boots and set out to see if they lived up to their heritage look and modern-safety promises. At first glance, the classic upland-inspired styling fooled us into thinking these were more for the field than the jobsite, but the non-metallic safety toe and robust outsole quickly proved otherwise. Throughout long days on wet concrete and muddy lots, the waterproof leather and UltraDry lining kept our feet dry without feeling swampy. The 6-inch height struck a comfortable balance between ankle support and flexibility, and break-in time was surprisingly short. We did notice a bit of added heft compared to lighter hikers, but in return we gained a boot that felt stable, protective, and ready for real work.

Our Take on adidas Terrex Anylander Rain.Rdy
When we first laced up the adidas Men’s Terrex Anylander Mid Top Rain.Rdy Hiking Shoes, we were curious whether they could balance everyday comfort with genuine trail performance. Right away, the mid-cut profile felt reassuring without being bulky, and the Rain.Rdy membrane gave us confidence stepping into wet grass and shallow puddles. We noticed the outsole bites well on packed dirt and light mud, though it’s clearly tuned for moderate hikes rather than aggressive alpine routes. The cushioning leans toward the softer side, making these shoes feel almost like street sneakers adapted for the outdoors. Visually, they’re understated enough to wear around town, which we appreciated on days when our plans blended errands with quick trail detours. Overall, the Anylander strikes us as a versatile, weather-ready option for casual to intermediate hikers.

Our Take on the KEEN Targhee 2: Trail-Ready Workhorse
When we laced up the KEEN Men’s Targhee 2 Low Height Waterproof Hiking Shoes, we weren’t expecting them to feel quite this familiar, this quickly. There’s a certain “just right” sturdiness here-enough structure to handle rocky switchbacks, but not so much that we felt weighed down on easier fire roads. The waterproofing held up respectably through shallow streams and soggy trail sections, although in warmer weather we did notice the trade-off in breathability. Grip on loose gravel and wet roots inspired confidence, and the roomy toe box will appeal to hikers who hate feeling squeezed in. Are they the lightest or most technical hikers on the market? No. But as an everyday trail workhorse that we can throw on without overthinking, the Targhee 2 earns its place by the door.

Our Take on FREE SOLDIER’s Lightweight Tactical Boots
When we first laced up the FREE SOLDIER Men’s Tactical Boots, we were struck by how light they felt for an 8-inch combat-style boot. The suede leather and fabric upper walk a fine line between rugged and refined, making these boots look equally at home on a dusty trail or a busy job site. We noticed the cushioning right away, especially under the heel, which made long periods on our feet more manageable. At the same time, the boots feel supportive enough around the ankle to inspire confidence on uneven ground. They’re not luxury footwear, but they aim squarely at practical durability-something we kept in mind as we wore them through a mix of daily chores, short hikes, and light work tasks.

Our Take on Guide Gear’s 400g Duck Boots
When we first pulled on the Guide Gear Men’s Pull On Insulated Leather Duck Boots, we could tell they were built with bad weather in mind. The 400 grams of insulation offer a noticeable buffer against the cold without making our feet feel packed in, and the waterproof construction handled slush, puddles, and light rain without complaint. We appreciated the easy pull-on design-no laces to fuss with when the driveway needs shoveling. The leather upper and rubber lower feel rugged enough for day-to-day winter chores, though they lean more practical than stylish. In this review, we’ll walk through how these boots performed in wet, muddy, and icy conditions, and whether their comfort and durability justify adding them to our regular cold‑weather rotation.
