I’ve had some questions about what I mean when I say a company sponsored a video so i thought I would clarify. Companies pay me a set amount for the video that is agreed upon before the video is made. I don’t get any compensation based on the performance of the video. I also don’t get any form of compensation from the amount of clicks or views or codes used or orders made from the video. Doing it this way helps keep me as unbiased as possible, though im sure I’m not perfect, as much as I try to be. But the beauty of cutting stuff in half is you can decide for yourself and I can’t hide anything. Also not taking “affiliate money” is the main reason the companies are willing to do discounts for viewers. Hopefully this clears it up! No one has been rude or accusatory about it, they are mostly just curious. It can be tricky doing sponsored content but I appreciate your support! It makes a huge difference in being able to do these videos. Most people don’t know KZread is still just my side project, most of my time is spent on the business/product side of Rose Anvil. Thanks again!

Ive been waiting for this, im so excited!!!

Thank you for doing this! I would love to see Crown Northampton, Oliver Cabell and Svensson teardowns in the coming weeks! I'm also glad you cleared up the veg-tan vs. chrome tan distinction. Too many people interpreted it as "chrome tan = bad". Common Projects were around the same price as Koio when they first came out, and as you said, chrome tan is absolutely fine at that price range. Their popularity drove prices up over the last 15 years, so they're by no means worth the money in 2020 if we're buying strictly based on value. Nick from Stridewise also pointed out in his recent video that virtually every minimalist sneaker company except one uses chrome tan in their sneakers. I think it's more of a case where companies are just choosing leathers that are optimal for sneakers than them trying to cheat us. At least now we know that we should avoid $400+ unless we know we're getting veg-tan or if we're going after branding specifically.

You should do Golden Goose. They have pretty basic models and when I went to buy ones they told me they had this special structure that was meant to protect from cold weather. I don't know if that's true, but it would be great to see you review it!

While I appreciate reviews from bloggers, it’s nice knowing about the shoes’ quality by letting the materials tell the story themselves. Can’t wait ‘till you review a pair of Svensson sneakers. PS: you just cemented my decision for going for Koios over CPs; nothing justifies the almost $200 premium CP is asking over Koio

Thank you for being such a great Koio supporter!

I still have no desire to own "luxury" sneakers. However if I do, Ill take the KOIO over the Common Rip Offs.

I bought my triple white koios after watching this video. Great video and thanks for the discount

Just bought my first pair of Koios! Now I’m looking at more Hand made leather shoes and I’ve been looking at Allen Edmonds and Beckett Simonon, would love to see a breakdown comparison between these two brands!
