    Follow these simple steps to find your perfect size. You'll need a ruler and a sheet of paper.

    1. Place the sheet of paper against a wall or straight edge.

    2. Position one foot along the sheet of paper, pressed against the wall.

    3. Align a ruler beside your foot.

    4. Measure the length in centimeters or inches from the tip of your longest toe.

    5. Repeat the process for your other foot.

    Compare your measurements with the size chart. If your foot measurement falls between sizes, choose the larger size.

    How can we sell a $600 shoe for $245?

    We cut out the middlemen.




    Our Value


    At Koio we’re striving to make the most valuable shoe on the market. For us, value doesn’t come from an outrageous ticket price; it comes from pairing ethics with the highest-quality Italian materials and craftsmanship to create the best shoe we can, and pricing it at a fair margin that allows us to do business sustainably.




    Our Quality


    Each of our shoes passes through the hands of 42 craftspeople at our manufacturer in Italy, using locally sourced premium leathers, suedes, and recycled materials. We’re creating footwear that’s matched only by the world’s most renown luxury brands in its dedication to quality. How do we know? Because we see their shoes being manufactured next to ours by the same craftspeople.







    Don’t get us started on retailers. Italian leather shoes of comparable craftsmanship are sold for twice the price of Koios or more. When a luxury brand sells a shoe to a retailer, the retailer applies a markup of at least 100% to the wholesale price—the price that they are paying the luxury brand—in order to come up with the price that you are seeing in the store. When you buy a pair of $600 leather shoes through retail, at least half your money goes to the store location.




    We get around the unnecessarily pricey world of traditional retail by selling the finest Italian leather shoes directly to you.


    Here's to getting the best value for your money.

      The Shoes I Had Been Searching For

      I really love these shoes. I had been looking for something like this a long time when I read about them in the WSJ. I ordered them right away and they were delivered in a flash. They certainly won't be my last pair.

      Nice suede, comfortable fit and quality made. When they suggest to size up or down, trust them as this is very accurate in sizing.

      Comfy slip on.

      I liked the material and the solid construction, which at first felt a bit stiff. But after wearing them for an hour they loosened up. Folks here say they run small and to go up. It was the opposite with me. I wear Capris 9E, and the Garda 9 regular fits very well (I’m normally a 9.5), even with thin socks. After a days walk my left foot felt a bo loose in the jerk but the toe box was right on. Probably will try the enclosed insoles on the left shoe…

      Garda fog

      Very nice! Fit was great. Nice fog colorway. Can be dressed up or down depending on occasion.

      Shorts to trousers to even formal in my opinion.

      I own several pairs of koio shoes and boots. They are one of the best.
