AVOID THIS COMPANY!!!!!

Within weeks of receiving the strap completely ripped off and now the shoes are unusable. WORST QUALITY SHOES I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. Even $40 shoes ive bought off Amazon have lasted a year.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about the issue you experienced with your shoes.

We received your email and began reviewing your case immediately. As your shoes are covered by our six-month warranty, we've already arranged a full refund and have emailed the details.

While this isn't something we expect to see, we have seen a small number of similar reports. As a precaution, we're now reviewing this batch of stock to ensure no other pairs are affected, while our product and quality teams investigate the root cause.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it has enabled us to take immediate action.

Kind regards,

KOI

Beautiful shoes!!

I absolutely love the shoes. They are just as beautiful in person as they were online. I like that the pearls and the head are detachable as well so they can be more versatile. They fit well. I haven't worn them out yet so can't comment on how comfortable they are. I think they might be more of a sitting, than a standing shoe!

dead bug and… mould??

I bought a pair of the apocalypse boots on sale. the shipping was fast and the boots look super cute! that being said, I found remains of a dead bug (a fly I think) in my box, and the box also has a lot of stains/patches on it that look like mould. the boots had some white spots on them too, I wasn’t sure if it was just the material but having seen the state of the inside of the shoebox it’s clear the shoes have mould on them.
Koi footwear is one of the biggest alternative shoe brands out there, receiving a pair of shoes in this condition is unacceptable. I couldn’t even imagine if I’d paid full price for them (£180!)

Hi Eli

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

We were extremely concerned when you contacted us regarding the condition of your order, and as soon as you contacted us, we acted immediately.

As this style had only recently arrived in the UK as part of a larger international shipment, we treated your report as a potential batch issue. We immediately processed your refund, removed the entire style from sale, and began a full investigation with our distribution teams while the remaining stock is thoroughly inspected.

We take reports like this incredibly seriously, and although this is not representative of the standards we strive for, we're committed to understanding exactly how this occurred and ensuring it does not happen again.

Kind regards,

KOI

Great customer service and the shoes…

Great customer service and the shoes themselves are not only gorgeous, but also super comfortable even though they're heels. Delivery to Finland took a couple of weeks, but they were definitely worth the wait. Love them!

We ordered shoes and paid for express…

We ordered shoes and paid for express shipping. The order was processed 2 days later and shipping took 4 days. so unfortunately, we didn’t get the order in time. After we complained at their customer service we didn’t receive any response. They charge extra for returns. Poor customer service. Shoes were nice 👍.

Great experience

Great experience, I'm in the USA and got my package 2 weeks after ordering, great shoes, my teenager loved them that I ordered 2 more pairs before even getting the first package.

Brilliant service

Brilliant service - letting me know that an item that was out of stock the 50 times I checked was available once more. Quick delivery. Excellent quality. I have purchased Koi footwear twice now, and won't hesitate to do it again.

My second pair (surprisingly comfy and easy to wear all the time)

I tend to order many kois but some I return due to their lack of comfort design (for example, some sneakers are too deeply set in with their soles, or the edges aren’t padded and dig into skin even through a sock). These, though, I am delighted by! It is my second pair and I use them year round for city walking whilst keeping my no-black code alive thorough the seasons. Extremely comfy, neurodivergent friendly (velcro), multiseasonal (you can wear then with socks or not) and very cute on the foot. Also one of the models that are sized appropriately (in my opinion, I have 10+ kois, so I think I can say that now) 🤍😌. I am in between 39-40 (eur) and I reach for these the most to feel cute and cozy.
