Gokey Heritage Not many brands get to set the industry standard for 170 years, in fact, we know of only one. Gokey. Gokey boots have been worn by hunters, soldiers, explorers and professional raconteurs the world over. Men like Presidents Eisenhower and Teddy Roosevelt, Ernest Hemingway and even Grandpa Jones treasured their Gokey boots. But you don’t have to be famous to own a pair of Gokeys, you just have to appreciate timeless style and enduring quality. Each pair is still 100% made in the U.S.A., hand stitched by a craftsman who trained five years to learn their trade. Nothing is outsourced, nothing is imported, we do it all ourselves, right here in Tipton Missouri. Gokey boots, shoes, gun cases and luggage cannot be bettered, made to be passed from one generation to the next, just as they have always been. Handmade in the USA The Gokey construction process is an incredible example of the bootmaker’s art – a rare thing in today’s mass-produced world. Our craftsmen expertly hand cut and hand sew this durable leather using techniques that date back generations—methods that take years to teach. We start by hand selecting the finest oil-tanned bullhide the world has to offer. This heavy, remarkably durable bullhide is molded over a hardwood last. Next, a welt is stitched to this so cunningly that no awl hole ever completely penetrates the shoe leather to admit water. An arch support is inserted, the outer sole hand-sewn into place, and the top constructed. Each stitch of waxed thread is knotted, locking it firmly in place. Keep in mind, this is done for every single individual shoe that leaves the factory. With durable Vibram soles and modern comfort features such as cushioned leather insoles, Gokey footwear is built for comfort and a lifetime of wear.
