Hi guys, I wanted to update you since I made this video. Due to the bad customer service, I actually give Koi Footwear a 1.5/5 stars. --- It has been 3 weeks and I have had one of the worst customer experiences with Koi Footwear concerning the return of the 2 damaged shoes I sent back. For some reason there's been a different person replying to my emails asking for the same repeated information, and they don't understand how postage works in the US (I am assuming the person dealing with my return is from the UK). They have incredibly poor grammar and writing, and it's been 3 weeks of 20 back and forth emails concerning my return. Delayed shipping is a fault of USPS, but I have been repeatedly asked for "proof" that I sent the package back even though I provided a tracking number and then the a photo of my shipment receipt, and they can't seem to stay on track with what items I even returned (even though I filled out their forms and everything). So in addition to losing nearly $30 on shipping to the US and returning DAMAGED items, I also have to deal with poor customer service. This is unacceptable for Koi Footwear, and unless you guys are willing to just keep whatever shoes you get, I strongly suggest you completely skip koi to avoid dealing with a mess like mine. -- update -- It has been about 4 weeks and I finally received a refund, so that's good I guess. But it definitely wasn't worth the trouble and I lost a lot of money to buy these shoes. I'll be looking for alternatives for people who like this style, so stay tuned!

Warning to international shoppers in the US - their returns department is a mess. Keep very good documentation of your return. Make a video of yourself dropping the box at the post office, keep return receipt (returns not free for U.S. shoppers!) , and prepare to have to fight for your return to be acknowledged... or don't buy their plastic...

This video 5/5 I have to say I've already bought the mary janes. Your review was accurate. The only story I have is I bought what was the biggest size in stock. It was on my feet but as I walked in them I realized they were way too small. They put black dye on my white socks. I couldn't exchange them because I already wore them. I thought they were cute but the tight fit and how the dye exchanged onto the socks was very disappointing. You would believe that was my final go with Koi. For a while that was but I found they had a bigger size of the mary janes and I went for them. Those mary janes were the right size. They're perfect mary janes. My only criticism is Koi should build with higher quality materials and I hope they do more in the size. So far all I see are the black and white cow print, the troll print, and the black. I'd like more colors than that. It's why I've been looking around for other designers. I'm getting some An*Tai*Na mary janes made. I'll hope they're better than Koi mary janes. I know this was a long comment. I'm only feeling like leaving a long comment because I think you did a great video and maybe more comments means better algorithm engagement so that means I helped your video getting into the search results. You looked very amazing in your shoes and more shoe reviews would be very needed in the KZbin sphere.

Hi, I genuinely cannot answer that question for you, unfortunately. The sizing is so inconsistent and I am also a half size so I sized up for everything. I'd like to say they run big if you're a half size, but it really depends on what kind of shoe you're getting (sneakers are easy to tie up tight enough but with buckled shoes or boots you're in trouble if it's too big). Either way, if you live in the US, I strongly recommend buying shoes somewhere else, because if the shoe is gonna end up being too big/small, you're going to have to pay a minimum total of $30 to ship it to you and back. And there are no free size exchanges.

It really is a trial and error thing unfortunately. If you have wide feet, I'd definitely recommend a shoe style with a rounded toe. Too many brands make them small in the toes.

These shoes look exactly like cheap $1 made shoes made in China and shipped from like Shein or Wish and I the way the material looks, especially on the soles, looks super cheap and value, every Koi shoe I see on someone looks like a fake shoe to be honest, they look great, but they're the definition of cheap mass produced, made by a child in a sweatshop, and will break in a couple weeks. They're often on sale for like 70% too so if you're buying a $100 shoe and can get it for 30 and they still make a profit, then we're definitely getting ripped off.

About 1 1/2 weeks. However, my return still hasn't been delivered after weeks of waiting, so I still haven't gotten my money back. If you're in between sizes, I don't recommend buying from them cuz you'll have to pay a total of around $35-40 in shipping fees if you also need to return anything.

the only reason I look at these shoes is cos they go up to my size in some styles… yikes when you’re pressed for size and have to go for this rubbish

I know that ASOS has a lot of bigger sizes and at least with ASOS if you still want to try brands like Koi Footwear you won't have to deal directly with them (and returns are usually easier with ASOS as well) :)

@@nahm7251 well I know a lot of resellers at least in the US should still have their shoes in stock. I think I’ve seen them at least in Urban Outfitters and ASOS to name a couple. YesStyle has a lot of great dupes as well

As a guy those chunky shoes look awful on a girl the thin soles are really pretty
