Great customer support. They were willing to make an exception for my boots that were 1 size too big after one day of wearing through snow & ice. They gave me a 50% off discount on my second pair, but... See more

I got a product i was dissatisfied with (not the brand’s fault) and the customer service was very human and lets say they got another loyal customer now!

Great Product!

Just bought my second pair of Capri sneakers and I made an error in my order and noted the incorrect size. Customer service was great and helped to correct the issue. Much appreciate!

Thin Leather - Results in cracking

Loved the design of the shoe and easy to wear out of the box. However after a few wears the portions of the shoe that crease started to crack. The leather is thin and nothing compared to Common Projects or Oliver Cabells. It feels dry and rough to the touch. I've only worn these shoes out in the city and they are unwearable now due to what looks like spiderweb cracking on both shoes.

Hi Lucas, we appreciate your review. What you're describing definitely isn't normal, so we'd love to look into this further to see if there's a defect or other issue with the pair you have. Your information wasn't included with your review, but if you can send us an email at hello@koio.co with photos of the shoes, we would love to help with this. We hope to hear from you soon!

It’s worth it to go in person!

Ryan was super helpful in assisting me with figuring out my sizing. His patience and knowledge was perfect in cementing my commitment as a Koio customer.

Underwhelming for this price point

Underwhelming for this price point. Bought the capri whites without laces. Fit is terrible, feels loose/not snug, thin material around the foot vs a thick sole, and the faux laces are cheap looking bands. Creases already appearing in the “leather” after 3 wears. Marketing is a 5/5, but value for money is a complete miss and wouldn’t recommend Koio based on the poor quality of the product.

Hi Drew, we sincerely apologize for the disappointment with your Capris. It sounds like you may have ordered the wrong size, and we would love to check your measurements to see if a smaller size would be the right fit. Please reach out to us via email at hello@koio.co so we can assist further! Kindly note as well that creasing in leather is normal, and is how the material softens up and molds to the foot over time.

We appreciate your review, and look forward to hearing from you!

Terrible Quality, Terrible Customer Service

absolutely terrible quality materials and equally awful customer support. I’ve had these shoes for a little over 3 months and the leather is already starting to tear and peel. This should never happen for the price point of the shoe. Customer support is not helpful whatsoever and will just offer you a discount towards another pair that will also degrade in 3 months. To anyone reading this I highly would recommend paying the extra few hundred for common projects, as the quality is a lot higher and the shoes tend not to shoe damage after years of wear. Really disappointed in the KOIOs I bought.

Hi Ryan,

Koios are built to last for years, but this can vary depending on the extent of wear by each customer.

We received photos showing extensively worn shoes with some areas on the toe that had been scraped, which reflect manual damage. As we're unable to be responsible for external damage to shoes outside of normal wear, we did offer a gift card towards a new pair as a compromise.

We apologize for your disappointment, and hope you can understand. Our craftsmen use premium Italian leather, but if the shoes are worn in rough environments or scraped, they can sustain some damage. We appreciate your feedback, and are always working to improve both our product and service.

The shoes are the best. And their Lafayette store is awesome. Amazing and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

I hate writing positive reviews…

I hate writing positive reviews (because I always feel like that reduces the chances of the company needing to offer discount prices, lol),, but I just ordered my 6th pair over the last 2 months. I didn't expect to like the suede as much as I do, uggh.

I had a very good experience shopping in store. The salesman helped me pick out a style that fit me perfect. He also took the time to lace up the shoes very nicely. I would highly recommend stopping in store to get a pair.
