About us

We are Gateway1

Built for nature. Designed in Scandinavia.

Gateway1® was born out of a simple idea: to create footwear that could endure the toughest conditions – and still feel good to wear after a long day in the wild. Our name is inspired by the old American frontier – the original "Gateway to the West" – where nature set the rules, and your gear meant survival.

We bring that same mindset into everything we build: durability, purpose, and respect for the outdoors.

Our footwear is designed in Scandinavia and tested in the field. Whether you're hunting in wet forests, walking fence lines in the mud, or just spending full days outside – you need shoes that stay dry, stable and strong.

At the heart of every Gateway1 boot is our unique multi-layer sole system. It absorbs shock, provides stability, and grips on terrain where others slip – so you can move confidently, no matter the conditions.

Bad weather is just a test. Our boots pass.
