PRODUCTS & FIT
Q: What are the soles and insoles of KOKOLU shoes made of?
A: The outsoles of all the styles are crafted using 100% eco-friendly rubber, and we named our outsoles the greenKsole®, which makes every step of your footprint “greener”.
Our insoles are made from repurposed plastic bottles and recycled materials.
Q: Do KOKOLU run true to size?
A: All of our shoes are medium width and are full sizes only. Please note that only our Krush 1.0 includes half sizes!
We've found most full-size customers stick with their full size in all materials. If you're a half size, we've found most customers size up in every silhouette. If you have a wider foot and you're a half size, we'd suggest sizing up to the next full size in everything!
Still not sure? We'd love to talk to you about it. Reach out to one of our fit specialists at contact@kokolu.eco for some personalized advice!
Q: Do KOKOLU fit wide, narrow or flat feet?
A: The structure of our shoes is designed to accommodate the shape of your foot and gently hug your feet whether they are wide or narrow.
Our padded insole provides all-day arch support. With high arch support robustly functions to balance the force structure of the foot, effectively ease feet, and prevent common feet injuries. It also features a deep heel cup design which maintain correcting foot positioning, protects your heel and stabilizes your feet during the heavy impact of landing while walking. Everyone’s feet are different and we’ve heard from many flat-footed customers who find comfort in their KOKOLU shoes.
For customers looking to use their own inserts or orthotics, our insole is easily removable to make these adjustments. However, some customers have noticed that they do not need to use their orthotics given the level of cushion, so it's worth a try!
Q: Will my shoes stretch?
A: Great question! Normally KOKOLU will gently hug the contour of your foot but they should never feel tight. They'll move with you, and may stretches naturally. If your KOKOLU shoes are a bit snug to start, you can expect them to stretch about a quarter inch after a few weeks of wear. We recommend wearing them for 1-2 weeks to break in.
Pro tip: trying them with socks can also help the shoes break in more easily!
Q: Can you wash KOKOLU insoles?
A: Our insoles can be washed in the machine, however, we also find that hand-washing will help preserve the longevity of your KOKOLU insoles.
For hand-washing, we typically suggest applying a small amount of gentle detergent to the top of the insole and rinsing the detergent off in lukewarm or cold water. To target the odor of the insoles, we recommend putting a few drops of tea tree or eucalyptus oil and a bit of gentle detergent in a bowl of lukewarm water. You can then wet the tops of the insoles with this oil and water mixture. Rinse with lukewarm or cold water.
And last, but certainly not least, be sure to let the insoles air dry!
Q: What are the bags made out of?
A: Each bag is knit with 100% recycled plastic bottles with Formed-In-One-Time technique. It is the “greenest” bag ever.
Q: Can you wash the bags in the machine?
A: Yes! Our bags are fully machine washable.
Use cold water, mild detergent and the delicate cycle.
No heat and always let your bag air dry.
