The KOIO team stands with the millions of affected people worldwide and in our local communities during COVID-19. We’re committed to keeping our Italian factory partners and NYC based team safe, our customers happy, and our business strong. Our COVID-19 FAQ page is being updated regularly, and if you have any additional questions or concerns please do not hesitate to email or call us, we’re here to help!
What is the situation at Koio's manufacturer?
Our manufacturer is outside of the immediate risk zone. They are located in the south of the Marche region, which has seen very few cases of Coronavirus so far. Our manufacturer has not seen any cases. The factory has implemented precautionary measures (disinfection, personal distance, staggered breaks, masks, etc.) to make sure employees are safe. We are in daily communication with their team and are monitoring the situation closely to ensure the safety of all workers and to minimize disruptions to our supply chain.
As of Tuesday, March 24th, Italy has shut down all nonessential factory production to limit the spread of Covid-19. This includes our footwear manufacturing partners. Production is scheduled to resume April 8.
Is there any risk of Koio products being contaminated?
No. The transit time for a pair of our shoes from our manufacturer to you is, at minimum, 4 weeks. This is far beyond the lifetime of the virus on surfaces, according to the WHO.
