OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE: Gokey and Field & Stream Announce Collection of Handcrafted Leather Boots
OSCEOLA, IA – February 10, 2025 Gokey, a leader in men’s handmade premium leather boots and shoes, is proud to announce a product collaboration with Field & Stream, the iconic American outdoors brand, and the launch of a collection of men’s handmade premium leather boots. This collaboration unites two legendary brands with over 250 years of combined history to celebrate the enduring values of tradition, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to the outdoors. The collection will be available on the Boyt Harness Company and Field & Stream websites, as well as select retail locations nationwide starting February 2025.
The Field & Stream x Gokey collection brings together Gokey’s unmatched leather craftsmanship and Field & Stream’s legacy as the most trustworthy guide for outdoor enthusiasts. Each design draws on Field & Stream’s rich heritage in outdoor storytelling, from the rugged charm of vintage Field & Stream magazine covers to the timeless narratives penned by its award-winning writers. Every boot in the collection reflects Gokey’s signature precision, premium materials, and a dedication to quality, attributes that have made both brands icons of the American outdoor experience. From upland fields to wooded trails, the Field & Stream x Gokey collection honors the traditions of the outdoors—a legacy passed down through generations, like a well-worn pair of boots.
“Our brands share a profound respect for the outdoors and a commitment to values like quality, tradition, and durability,” said Tony Caligiuri, President of Boyt Harness Company, parent company of Gokey. “As someone who grew up immersed in the outdoors, I’ve always admired Field & Stream—not only for its legacy as a trusted resource, but for the quintessential magazine covers and timeless stories that inspired generations to venture into the field. Partnering with Field & Stream feels like bringing a piece of that history to life, and I couldn’t be more excited to create a collection that celebrates the spirit of the outdoors while honoring the craftsmanship and tradition both of our brands represent.”
“As we celebrate 150+ years of Field & Stream’s legacy and the revival of our brand this past year, it’s humbling to reflect on our journey from an outdoor apparel company in St. Paul, Minnesota to the authority in the outdoor space we are today,” said Doug McNamee, Field & Stream President. “Partnering with Gokey allows us to bring this legacy to life in a new way. These boots are crafted with the same dedication to quality and tradition that has defined both of our brands, ensuring they’ll stand the test of time and continue to serve outdoor men and women for years to come.”

About Field & Stream
For more than a century, Field & Stream has been the most-trusted voice of the outdoors.
