Do these run true to size?
These run true to size. KOI does not carry half sizes. If between sizes, go up.
Are these comfortable, and do they suit wider feet?
The hiker-style outsole and padded comfort insole are built for all-day wear. Customers note these are comfortable from the first wear with no significant break-in needed. The full grain leather upper conforms to the foot over time. The fit runs standard width. If you have wider feet, size up one.
What should I know before wearing these for the first time?
Full grain leather stiffens slightly in cold weather and softens with wear. Wear them for a few hours around the house before a full day out. The distressed and burnished detailing is intentional and gets more characterful with wear. Apply a leather conditioner monthly to extend the life of the upper.
Who is this style designed for?
Built for men who want alternative footwear with genuine durability. Popular with dark streetwear fans and goth dressers who want a full leather statement trainer for everyday wear, commuting, events and occasions where the shoe needs to hold up as well as it looks.
Is this style vegan, how do I care for it, and how long will it last?
This style uses full grain leather and is not vegan. Leather at this grade is highly durable and with the right care can last for years. Apply a leather conditioner regularly, wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth, and store away from direct sunlight. The burnished finish is UV-sensitive.
