First look
The Capri is Koio's core low-top: Italian calf leather inside and out, a stitched rubber sole that Koio says is 50% natural and 40% recycled rubber, waxed cotton laces and a removable OrthoLite Hybrid insole. Koio says each pair is handmade in Tuscany, Italy. It competes with the Common Projects Achilles at a lower price, sold direct through its own site.
With Canada selected on Koio's site, the Triple White Capri is CA$392 in October 2026. That figure comes from Koio's own currency setting; shipping is calculated at checkout, so check the delivery cost and any duties before you pay. Sizing is men's US 7–16, and a Wide Fit version with an E width costs the same. In October 2026 Koio's site showed only men's sizing; the women's Capri page returned not found.
It suits office wear and smart-casual outfits where you want a clean white leather sneaker. For winter, Koio says the sole is tightly stitched for water resistance, but the leather upper is not waterproof, so keep it for dry days and wipe off salt promptly. Our picks are based on construction, materials, price and availability in Canada; hands-on Lab results are being added as each pair finishes testing.
