Size and fit
KOBI shoes are made in Italy and available in Italian sizes. To find the equivalent size in your country, please refer to the size chart below.
Remember, Kobi are genderless, so the chart includes both men's and women's sizes.
How to find your size
- Make sure to wear the type of socks you would normally wear with this footwear. Stand on a flat surface with your heels against a wall.
- Place your foot on a blank paper with your heel against the wall.Make a mark at the tip of your longest toe (usually the first or second toe) and measure the total length from the heel to the mark.
- Once both feet have been measured, use the measurements of the longer foot and refer to the chart shown in the previous section. We recommend to add 0,5 cm to the total lenght to choose your size.

Product passport
Shoe upper
The shoe upper is a true construction marvel. It is crafted as a single piece with just one rear seam and a bottom closure. Made from a bio-based extrusion (apple or corn) sourced from food industry waste, it is applied to certified cotton supports.
Lining
We tested various types of yarns and created our own elaborated fabric (what we call smart passive fabric) based on hemp, to ensure breathability, thermoregulation, and antibacterial properties for our linen.
Insole
The insole is made with coconut and agave fibers coated with natural latex. It is biodegradable.
Non-slip counter
It is made of non-woven fabrics produced using recycled polyester fibres (from post-consumer recycling of PET bottles).
Zip
The tape of our zips is made with recycled polyester.
Shank
By borrowing the technology from the couches that have a wooden frame, we have replaced the typical metal shank with one made of recycled wood.
Sole
We use different compounds, but all contain 80% natural rubber, the best material for shoe soles. We also incorporate recycled material from our own production scrap, processed through a complex devulcanization method that maintains quality. This reduces the need for new material and saves energy during production. Additionally, some models include hemp wood, a byproduct of hemp processing, as a filler. This further increases the percentage of natural materials in our soles, making them even more distinctive.
Manufacturing
All our shoes are cut, sewn, and assembled in Italy with materials and components sourced in Italy.
We reserve the right to modify the materials or colors of our products, provided that such changes lead to an enhancement of the product's quality and comply with the provisions outlined in our ethical code,
