Vasque founder, W.D. Sweasy traveled to Europe in 1964 and witnessed a hiking craze sweeping the continent – he returned home to Red Wing, Minnesota, determined to create purpose-built trail boots. 

Vasque footwear is made for walking, hiking, backpacking, and living outside. Our boots and shoes are built by and for hikers, backpackers, and people who love to be outside. We obsess over the comfort, durability, and performance of our shoes, so you don't have to.

In 1950 Red Wing introduced style 854 which was crafted with Red Russet leather--inspiring the Irish Setter name. Irish Setter became the brand for generations by proving itself in the field. 

Today, more than 110 years of Red Wing work boot experience--combined with the over 60-year legacy of Irish Setter outdoor footwear--results in purpose-built Irish Setter footwear for hunting.
