Checking out Koio Sneakers (review + first impressions + first look of the Capri) • Effortless Gent

[@luwmen3284]

Great review, really like the stone color way. Do you think the stone is as versatile as the triple white?

[@EffortlessGentTV]

I'd say Triple White > Stone / Mid Gray > everything else (in terms of versatility) ... but this Stone color is a really nice neutral, I could see myself swapping the whites out regularly for the stone color

[@gregbrown2834]

Love your advice. I need a slightly wider sneaker. Any advice on what premium minimalist white sneaker might be a little wider?

[@ML-kr3ih]

Koio comes with a wide option

[@lisaho3325]

Would definitely appreciate an update!

[@Bonbon45629]

Hi em

[@ESRohner]

Hey Barron, what do you think of the Capri Bianco? I'm considering them over the Triple White, just to bring a touch of something different, however I want to be able to wear them with anything I'd wear all-white sneakers with! That little strip of tan-ish suede is subtle enough, right?

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Yeah! I love that little tan suede detail. totally still versatile, can wear with pretty much everything, etc.

[@ESRohner]

@@EffortlessGentTV I'll be picking those up, then! And yeah, like you mentioned in the video, I'd love to hear what you think of the shoes down the road. Thanks for everything Barron. You're awesome. 👍

The quality of the Koio Capri is exceptional. For a price point of $200-250 these cannot be beat. I also happen to own a pair of the Common Projects Achilles and without a doubt the Capri is just a good for less money. Although I will say if you want something a little less "chunky" you might be happier with the Achilles.

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Yeah i feel the chunkiness is negligible... at least based off all the minimal sneaks I’ve come across (The Greats feel chunkier to me, and they don’t bother me at all)

[@edraldi]

Ricky Gonzales I have a few pair of CP’s. I’m interested in these. Would I wear the exact same size in the Koio? Thanks!

[@rickzilla09]

@@edraldi I normally wear a 10.5 US. For CP's I wear a 42 and 43 in Koio's. I had ordered a 42 in Koio and they feet way too snug so I had to exchange for a size 43 and they fit perfect! If you have to exchange they have a really easy exchange process.

[@superseiyan]

How kind are these shoes for 30 minute walks? My understanding is flat soles shoes with no cushioning (are they padded?) can stress the Achilles tendon

[@PoliticalMastermind0]

What do you recommend in regards to sizing?

[@EffortlessGentTV]

They're true to size for me!

[@jiaxinw8371]

Hey! I really love the stone colourway but they don’t have it anymore. Do you think the nuvola is somewhat similar? Nuvola, bianco, mocha or perla? Are you aware of how often they release new colourways?

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Nuvola is probs most similar to stone, and no im not aware unfortunately

[@ujwalshrestha8078]

Hi, can u please tell me how long your koio 42 is from heel to tip? My foot is 26 cm long.

[@EricBandholz]

Love my Koio high tops. 😎

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Yeah buddy!

[@qarhsi]

i like the 1st and 2nd pair. not a fan of mixed leather (3rd piece), which ace marks does as well. but it does have a super awesome silhouette, like CP Achilles. Greats are a bit bulkier, the silhouette isn't as nice in my opinion. cheers!

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Yeah I agree the Koio has a bit slimmer of a silhouette compared to the Greats Royale, though I still love my Greats sneaks.

[@Jean-om1ok]

What do you think of these or Axel Arigato?

[@mr.x335h]

They are sick go for it

[@Refield583477]

pink one looks amazing, just wish there was a no suede version

[@EffortlessGentTV]

I feel ya. Any reason in particular? Having these IRL, the suede adds a nice aesthetic, though I guess the biggest worry would be keeping it clean.

[@mulaidisini2871]

How to checks koio original or fake?

[@dharmeshnadhe7418]

I had a very bad experience unfortunately. I can not agree with the quality. After a moderate use, they are wearing out on shoe tongue. I was very surprised and disappointed. relatively cheap sneakers like Jim Ricky went well for at least 1 year without any wearing out! But in case of Koio in 7 months I can see the wear out. I also tried to reach customer care but no reply. My opinion would be not to buy!

[@EffortlessGentTV]

Ah that’s a bummer. I’ll have to report back in a few months with my experience wearing them in

[@Toga-q6u]

I also had bad experience for Koio customer service.

[@EscobarStyle]

12:42 when ambulance 🚑 sirens go off 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@EffortlessGentTV]

I think that might’ve just been in your neighborhood bro!

[@EscobarStyle]

Effortless Gent haha. I paused and rewind because I THOUGHT it was hood 😝

[@GatorFan112]

What shirt are you wearing in this video? Thx

[@EffortlessGentTV]

it's a light chambray long sleeve popover from J.Crew... I've had it for a number of years so they don't sell it anymore, but i'm sure someone else makes something similar

[@whitemailprivilege2830]

Do these come in a size 76?!

[@EffortlessGentTV]

mmmm, I think this is a sarcastic joke that I'm not getting 😩

[@balkaransingh986]

Hey Barron clear this can be wear socks with sandals sneakers with dress pants like many fashion bloggers are doing this so if yes then where is the term fashion sense or what it even means though....

[@EffortlessGentTV]

come again?

[@guziroger]

Follow up review?

[@jidofole]

I get it - nice delivery/polish/content - just lacks humour/snap

[@JR-jz7mt]

It's been almost a year. Coronavirus happened, market crashed, and people protesting. Whats the update on these bro?

[@22purple9]
