About us

We are Gateway1

Tough by nature. Scandinavian in design.

Over the centuries, we Scandinavians have learned to master the capricious northern weather. Learned to adapt to the changing seasons. To keep going, even on wet, slippery, muddy, rocky or difficult ground. Nothing will keep us indoors, or hold us back. In the words of a wise old Scandinavian:

There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.

PLEASANT. BY NATURE.

In the words of a wise old Scandinavian: “There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.” This is the simple philosophy that has made Gateway1 the leading footwear brand that we are today.

Functional. By nature.

Every time we design a new model, we do so with a strong determination to make our mark. To raise the bar and set new standards.

As a result, we are always exploring: minor and major improvements, new innovations, new details, new materials, new outsole patterns, new … anything that will improve comfort, functionality, resilience and durability.

This is exactly how we have already established the Gateway1 brand with recognised innovations such as our Japan-rubber™ technology, G1® air spacer™, Lynx ICE-GRIP+™, YKK® side-zip, heel kicker, G1® turbo-energy™ heel and forefoot shock absorption, G1® flex calf™ in reinforced spandex, fiberglass shanks and zipper “keyholes”.
