Koio | Handcrafted Italian Leather Sneakers

Koios are handcrafted in Italy from start to finish. Every pair passes through the hands of 42 master craftsmen before it’s deemed complete, so even the smallest details are flawless.

Luxuriously Sustainable & Regenerative Materials

True luxury isn’t climate neutral—it’s climate beneficial, which is why we’re sourcing ecosystem-restoring regenerative leathers from the Swiss Alps and LWG-certified leathers in Italy.

Minimalist Design

We keep our silhouettes clean and minimal, so the beauty of the craftsmanship really stands out. Each pair is designed to transcend trends and seasons, so you can love and wear them for years to come.

Responsible Production

Every artisan deserves a voice, a fair wage, and an inspiring work environment. We produce our shoes at a family-owned factory that ensures every craftsman receives exactly that.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Customer service was great and I’m 100% loving the shoes. Compared to other designer shoes I’ve purchased, the leather is 100% up to par and the insole is 10x comfier than any other designer shoes I have. For sure going to purchase one of Koio’s high-top shoes in the future.

Eli A.

Koio Client

Comfort, quality, good value, great looking. I am a repeat client with multiple pairs. My shoes of choice for good reason.

Andrea S.

Koio Client

I received the black Chelsea boots and truly stand behind the fact that these are probably the best boots I have ever owned. They’re super comfortable with a medium toe box and the perfect platform height. 10/10 recommend.

Morgan C.

Koio Client

Have searched far and wide for the right balance of style, quality, comfort, and overall good customer experience. These are the ones! Compared to other luxury brands, Koio wins by a long shot. There is no other option on the market offering this value for the money. Period. Keep ‘em coming.

Bill J.

Koio Client

Two big takeaways for me from Koio: 1) Identical quality to Common Projects—and even some very strategic improvements which have swayed me to prefer Koio over CP. 2) Outstanding buying experience compared to Oliver Cabell. Will be recommending Koio to friends and buying exclusively in the future.

Chris D.

Koio Client

Quick, efficient service. Amazing product. Better quality product than Common Projects. Definitely a wise decision.

Kelly P.

Koio Client

These shoes are awesome and well worth the price tag. Premium leather upper and uber-strong sole complements the clean overall look. The heel portion is actually much slimmer and lower in person compared to the pictures. I have wide feet and still sized down to get that perfect fit!
