Irish Setter® Introduces Extra Durable Elk Tracker XD Hunting Boot Series

The next generation Elk Tracker XD boots pack the legendary comfort of the original Elk Tracker into an even tougher, more durable boot that takes award-winning boots to the next level.

A full leather camo upper with a leather reinforcement layer protects the feet and prevents debris from entering the boot. Welded construction improves durability, while a wraparound rubber tread offers abrasion resistance against rocks, sticks, and other sharp objects.

This patented camouflage Troutbook® the leather is manufactured in Red Wing, MN.

TempSens technology helps regulate the temperature inside the boot to maintain consistent foot comfort. In hot conditions, the system reacts to wick moisture away from the foot, facilitating evaporative cooling. This helps keep your feet cooler, drier and more comfortable. In colder conditions, the system also draws moisture away from the skin, but traps it to create a thermal barrier that helps maintain a constant, comfortable temperature inside the boot. UltraDry™ waterproof construction offers long-lasting protection. primaloft® Insulation (200 grams) is available in Elk Tracker XD style #3981.

A lace-to-toe adjustment allows for a closer fit that reduces discomfort created by movement within the boot, especially when descending steep terrain. A row of locking hooks help keep the boot tight during lacing. A Cushin™ Comfort Tongue provides comfort in the shin area, while ScentBan™ scent control eliminates odors inside the boot.

EnerG material underfoot provides comfort and sustained support through an energy-returning core sandwiched between the midsole and outsole. EnerG offers an energy recharge with each step. A durable, removable EVA and memory foam footbed provides long-lasting comfort. An ultra-durable Vibram® The rubber outsole features bull’s-eye air cleats with a tread pattern that sheds mud and dirt for superior traction.
