Product Knowledge
How do I care for my Koios?
Koios are made from the finest eco-luxe Italian leathers, suedes, and nubucks, all of which require a different kind of care. Caring for your Koios will extend their lifecycle so you can wear them for years to come! Check out our Care Guide to find out how to care for yours.
Do you sell vegan shoes?
We do not offer any vegan shoes at this time.
Where are Koios made?
Koios are handcrafted in Italy from start to finish. To learn more about our craftsmanship and production processes, click here.
Why did you stop using Margom soles?
The Capri 1.0 was made with rubber soles from Margom. While working with Margom, we learned that the company’s materials and processes are really dated. First and foremost, they use fossil fuel-derived synthetic rubbers—we urged them to use natural or recycled rubbers, but they wouldn’t even engage in the conversation (probably because they want to minimize input costs).
Frustrated with Margom’s refusal to change for the sake of the planet, we found a more modern and innovative sole manufacturer, which is also located in Italy. For the Capri 2.0, we worked closely with this new manufacturer to develop a custom Capri sole. Not only is it made with responsibly sourced natural rubber and recycled rubber, but it’s also more comfortable and durable than Margom’s. All in all, the new Capri sole is better than ever.
Are Koios waterproof?
Koios are water-resistant, but they’re not waterproof. This means they’ll resist water but only to a certain degree. Visit our Care Guide to learn how to prevent water damage.
How do I know which size is right for me?
To determine your perfect size, visit the product page for the style you’re interested in and click the Size Finder.
Do you offer custom sizes?
We generally do not offer custom sizes. That said, many of our shoes are available in extended sizes such as 14 and 15. Our bestselling Capri sneaker is available in a wide fit, too. If you have any additional questions, please email hello@koio.co, message us through our live chat, or call us at (929) 205-2826.
Are Koios recyclable?
Koios are built to endure frequent wear for years, but eventually they’ll arrive at the end of their lifecycle. We developed Koio Recycling to ensure the environmental impact of your shoes remains low even after they’ve reached this point. To recycle your Koios, just follow these three simple steps:
1. Email us at hello@koio.co when you feel your Koios have reached the end of their lifecycle.
2. Using the pre-paid shipping label we send you, pack up your Koios and send them back to us—we’ll deconstruct them and send both recyclable and non-recyclable components to the proper facilities.
3. Receive a reward of $50 toward your next pair of Koios, so you can enjoy several more years of style and comfort.
How does Try Before You Buy work?
Try Before You Buy allows you to try on up to three pairs in the comfort of your own home, then only pay for what you keep. Here’s how it works:
1. Add up to three pairs of Koios to your cart.
2. Go to checkout. During checkout, you will not be charged full price—instead, we’ll place an authorization hold on your card, but won’t charge you anything. We’ll ship your order to you for free.
3. Try them on at home. You have seven days to try on your Koios at home, so there’s no rush to decide which pair(s) you’re going to keep.
4. Send back anything you don't want. You only pay for what you keep.
When does the try-on period start?
The try-on period begins as soon as your package is delivered. You will receive an email and text message with details on how to return any unwanted products.
How long is the try-on period?
The try-on period is seven days. You must return any unwanted items by the seventh day in order for pending charges to be voided. Learn more here.
How do I return a Try Before You Buy item?

Do you provide gift receipts?
