Koio makes high-quality leather sneakers to inspire a high quality life. Their journey began in 2014, with a mission to create our personal dream shoe, one that would accompany us on any quest and adapt to any situation. So they went straight to the source- the heart of Italy where craftspeople have been perfecting the art of handmade shoes for hundreds of years. They were thorough. They visited 34 factories before they found the one that mirrored their vision for Koio, in the gorgeous coastal village of Civitanova.
