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 padded tongue and heel and the built-in comfort insole are designed for all-day wear. The hiker outsole provides excellent grip and impact absorption. 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 benefits from a break-in period of a few hours before a full day out. The rope laces are oversized and functional, lace tightly for the best fit. Apply a leather conditioner monthly to keep the upper supple and extend its life.
Who is this style designed for?
Built for men in the goth and alternative fashion community who want a full leather utility trainer for everyday wear, commuting and dark occasions where the shoe needs to stand up to serious use as well as look the part. Popular with dark streetwear fans and goth dressers who want a statement sole in a trainer silhouette.
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. Full grain leather at this grade is highly durable and can last for years with regular care. Wipe clean with a damp cloth, apply a leather conditioner regularly, and store away from direct sunlight and moisture.
