Love the Irish setters - got em for $189 or so, but worth it. There's a big jump in quality/durability for $50-100 extra, in my experience. At least double the life.

I bought a set of Irish Setters about 3-4 years now and they haven't held up very well. Granted I hunt a lot, but for the $$$ I expected them to last longer. They are comfy and work great just not very durable, I didn't think I would have had to replace them this soon.

If you want lightweight, waterproof, and no insulation, I'd think about a pair of rubber boots. I have a pair of lacrosse alphaburly's for turkey hunting and general mucking around that are great.

+1 plus they stay waterproof longer. most gore tex boots i have had stay water proof maybe half a season. alpha burlys are 1st choice for hunting birds in snow or wet areas and work good in dry areas only problem is they dont let the sweat out as good as leather gore tex boots, but they keep water out better and are very comfortable.

USA Danners or Schnees. I am done buying cheap boots that wear out quickly. I tried Irish Setters that didnt last a year.

Danner's made in the USA for me. They are expensive but it is a good quality boot. Remember though not all Danners are made in the US, only their higher end boots. The dump Pronghorns are made in China - they are very comfortable but the last pair I had leaked within a year.
