Nice color, accurate size
Nice color, size is accurate and even if these are not a leather shoes, they fit my wider feet well. ( I use them only on stage so never walked with them more than 50 meters :))

Boots unwearable within 2 months…
Boots were unwearable within 2 months of infrequent use, customer service was a pain to deal with and chalked it up as ''general wear and tear'' implying that this is the standard quality and lifespan they expect from their products. ("Built to last" btw)
Due to this they refused to replace the shoes and only offered a 20% partial refund after I mentioned leaving a review - after this they attempted the silent treatment in hopes that i'd go away to avoid refunding said 20%
I can't recommend against using this company enough.
TL;DR - terrible quality, breaks after a month, won't replace or fully refund - avoid like the plague.

Hi,
We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with both your boots and your experience with our customer service.
After reviewing the photos you provided, our team found that the damage was consistent with friction wear rather than a manufacturing fault. Unfortunately, wear caused through use isn't covered under our warranty, which is why we were unable to offer a replacement on this occasion.
The heel lining is an area that naturally experiences the most contact during wear, and friction can cause it to wear down.
To help prolong the life of footwear, it's always a good idea to use a shoe horn where possible, undo laces or fastenings before putting shoes on, and ensure they are cared for in line with our care guidance.
We understand that this wasn't the outcome you were hoping for. As a gesture of goodwill, we offered a 20% partial refund despite the issue falling outside of our warranty terms.
We'd also like to clarify that we did not intentionally stop responding to your emails. We replied to all correspondence we received and apologised for any delays during the conversation.
This particular boot has been one of our longest-standing and best-selling styles, with many customers continuing to wear and enjoy it over the years. While we're sorry that your experience was different, the wear shown on your pair was not indicative of a manufacturing defect.
We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that we were unable to reach a resolution that met your expectations.
Kind regards
KOI

Koi Mary Janes
These are the coolest shoes. The fit is slightly big for me, so will need an insole of some sort, but they are beautiful and very comfortable.

I ordered shoes from your website on…
I ordered shoes from your website on the 10th of June and I’ve still not received them. The tracking has not changed from the 12th of June . I’ve sent two emails the first one was answered but no response back from the second email. I’m not very happy with the communication from your team regarding my order. First time using your company and will be my last .

Hi Karen,
We're very sorry to hear about your experience and completely understand your frustration.
Based on the tracking information available at the time, we believed your parcel had been delayed in transit. Unfortunately, it later became clear that your order had not reached you, and we're sorry for both the delay and the lack of communication while this was being investigated.
We've since contacted you directly to confirm that a full refund has been processed, and as a gesture of goodwill, we've also provided a discount code for use on a future order.
We sincerely apologise for the disappointment this has caused, particularly as this was your first experience with us. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams so we can continue to improve both our delivery processes and customer service.

The shoes are really nice quality…
The shoes are really nice quality and are durable so far, the crome parts are actually metal wich is lovely. I bought them for my boyfriend and he hasn't taken them off. We love them so much.

Bad quality shoes and even worse…
Bad quality shoes and even worse customer service. If you want a company to ghost you instead of help you then buy from koi.
Response back: koi's response is what they sent me via email and I clarified with them that the damaged area isn't located where the shoe naturally creases when walking, and the issue hasn't developed "over time". The cracking appeared in less than four months of light, normal use, which feels unusually early for general wear.
Given this, I asked them to take another look or advise on next steps. But was ghosted despite multiple requests for a response over the last three months.

Hi Shweta,
Thank you for your feedback. We understand that you're disappointed with the outcome of your claim.
Regarding you
Your footwear was reviewed by our Quality team, who determined that the issues reported were consistent with wear and tear rather than a manufacturing fault. As this assessment falls outside the terms of our warranty, our customer care team provided our final response and there were no further details available for review.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and are sorry that we couldn't provide the outcome you were hoping for.
Best wishes
KOI
