About this product
The Irish Setter 817 "Bemidji" Double Boot is a vintage men's lace-up boot from 1994, manufactured in the United States. This brown leather boot, size 14D, features a tempered steel shank for support and includes both insulation and waterproofing. Classified as a rain boot style, it also offers a soft toe. Suitable for various occasions from casual to workwear, it represents a classic Red Wing Shoes product line known for its quality and handmade construction.
Our take
This vintage Irish Setter "Bemidji" boot is a fascinating find, especially for collectors or those who appreciate classic American-made footwear. Manufactured in 1994 and handmade in the USA, it carries a sense of heritage. The tempered steel shank is a nice detail for foot support, and the combination of insulation and waterproofing makes it versatile for different seasons. While it's styled as a rain boot, its leather upper and soft toe suggest comfort for broader use. The larger size 14D might appeal to those with bigger feet looking for a piece of Red Wing history, though the vintage status means it’s not brand new condition.
