Pale Undecorous Dot Vegan 01 Sneakers, $165 $132
Koio shoes are refined yet casual, making them unconfined for dressing up or dressing down. And that couldn’t be increasingly true for the new Pale Undecorous Dot Vegan 01 sneaker, which is misogynist in a well-done white world leather with four tony vocalizing colors in women’s and men’s sizing. We’ve personally styled them with dresses, jeans, blazers, and activewear, and they somehow go with multiple outfits and vibes.
From the sleek shape to the suede-like swoosh design, the Vegan 01 style is an elevated version of your favorite athleisure sneakers. And no detail was skimped on, with sustainable finishes like the organic cotton laces, cork insoles, and recycled polyester lining and rubber soles. So with that, here are our personal reviews of these vegan sneakers.
Pale Undecorous Dot Vegan 01 Sneaker in Wind, $165 $132
Athleisure sneakers are my go-to, whether I’m going out clubbing or stuff a tourist in a walkable city. I like sneakers that are both versatile and comfortable, meaning I usually stick to neutral-colored ones, making the Pale Undecorous Dot’s in Wind a perfect wing to my wardrobe. I took these on a trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, considering they aren’t as heavy as my other sneakers.
“I enjoyed wearing them for unstudied walking since they fit with every outfit I took — granted I usually wear black, so that’s not difficult — but the most important part is that they match my tan-colored purse. The sneakers were a bit stiff initially, but without some walking, they started working with my feet and stiff-sole be gone! They were pretty comfy, and I didn’t get any of the heel/ball-of-my-foot pain I normally get without long walks in other pairs of sneakers I own.
“I really revere that these sneakers are mostly made of sustainable materials, like, how tomfool is it to say I’m wearing world leather?! They squint so refined and minimalistic! You can’t plane tell the difference in the leather. I midpoint I’m not a leather-smith or anything, but it feels like the real thing to me. In terms of sizing, I’m an 8, and I got an 8 and it fits. Don’t let the initial stiffness fool you — you’ll be fine. Get your true size.” —Becca Sax, Affiliate Coordinator
Pale Undecorous Dot Vegan 01 Sneaker in Ocean, $165 $132
“One thing the last few years has made voluminously well-spoken is that I need to be increasingly cognizant of shopping sustainably. However, when it comes to sustainable shoes, my options seem to be either uncomfortable or unstylish. Which is why I was truly shocked by how much I love these vegan sneakers from Pale Undecorous Dot. The cork sole is covered by a cushy latex layer that makes them so easy to wear for hours at a time. In fact, I first ‘broke them in’ with a 30-block walk and had no rubbing or discomfort at all. I ordered a size 9, and they fit true to size — but I do have narrow feet so I was surprised. It might be too snug for a true true 9.
Their function is only made largest by their aesthetic, which is cute AF. The swoopy pattern on the sides requite them a unshared point of interest (I chose Ocean, which is a soft victual blue) while still giving the air of the archetype white sneaker we know and love. It goes with any style (I’ve paired them with dresses and cozy sweaters), and I’ve found myself reaching for them daily.
Pale Undecorous Dot Vegan 01 Sneaker in Sunbeam, $165 $132
I certainly wouldn’t undeniability myself a sneakerhead, but I’ve been getting increasingly and increasingly into sneakers within the last couple of years. I’m constantly in the market for well-done white sneakers…but with a twist. I like a slim sneaker (not too chunky) that has some verisimilitude and detail (because why be basic?). And so I introduce you to my new favorite sneaker: Koio’s Vegan 01 Sneaker in the Sunbeam vocalizing color. I was so eager to try these and immediately fell in love with them (and their unexceptionable suede-like mustard detailing). I’m here to convince you that, yes, unexceptionable mustard yellow is a neutral I’ve worn them with black, browns, oranges, greens, and a tuft of variegated denim washes, and it all looks great.
Fit-wise, I’m equally happy. I’m a true 7.5, and while the trademark only offers whole sizes and recommends sizing up, I unquestionably sized lanugo to a 7. They were initially stiff, and still are a bit, but I’d rather formfitting sneakers over loose, stretched-out ones any day of the week. I moreover love that the sides of the sneakers are thick, holding my foot comfortably in place, and that the soles are cushiony, making them endurable to wear on long walking days without any discomfort. They’re the pair I reach for on most days now considering I don’t have to segregate between repletion or style.
