There are two things about Koio's Trento that are really underrated and underappreciated in the world of boots: they're made with a Blake stitch and leather soles. A lot of guys turn up their noses at those elements but I'm a huge fan: they make a boot more comfortable, lightweight, and flexible, and yes, you can still resole them. It was ballsy of Koio to release a Chelsea that goes so against the mold, but I think it was well worth the risk!

Been enjoying your channel for years, thank you for the education! Happy owner of three pairs of Thursday Boots and one pair of Helm. These Chelsea’s look great. Happy Holidays!
Thanks for the video, I hope you keep making videos about Chelseas, by far my favorite style!
Chelsea’s are a casual shoe/boot. But as a New Yorker no issue wearing a Chelsea with dark selvedge jeans, dress shirt, tie and jacket.
I haven’t worn mine with a suit, but I haven’t had to wear a suit for business in 4 years
I'm from Murica and I think Chelseas can be worn with a suit, as long as they're the right style, like these Trentos.
I see your evolution. You began with an interest in and focus on materials and craftsmanship. Some very interesting international stuff, growing into an economic analysis of the footwear industry. Sprinkles of fashion, which I admit I didn't always care much about, I'm in Colorado. But at the end, you rejected PNW as a lifestyle choice (I have too, just too heavy, though I admire their values and execution). And now you're fixing on what actually works for your environment and use.(And hey, you're in the suburbs now? Not the urban landscape of old?) You have a deepened understanding of what makes a boot work. I love that you made a boot, too. That's the journey, and it should begin with our feet, our /understanding/. I've learned a lot from you, man. Thanks.
James, this comment really made my night, wow. It's so interesting that a stranger can do such a good psychoanalysis of my fashion journey. I'm actually still in New York but was staying in New Jersey for a bit with these other shots. Sometimes I think about doing a video called 'my fashion philosophy' but it feels a bit self indulgent even for me, but you've got me thinking about it again! I try to be relatively open about being a city guy who likes durable materials, classic looks, and modern fits, so I try not to dwell too much on the "work appropriate" angle and more on the "this will last a long time and look cool" angle, which might sound superficial to working men but hey, I'm me.
💯Absolutely agree with your point about wearing the Chelsea with a suit! I'm happy you hit on this point because a lot of people don't seem to know how crazy versatile the Chelsea boot is. Gave me some huge outfit inspiration!
nice new mackinaw cruiser!
Do you have any opinions on the Our Legacy Camion boots? They're blowing up in various minimal fashion circles nowadays, but I'm curious if they stand up to the hype in terms of leather and build quality.
Hey Nick, what is your opinion on wearing light coloured boots with dark trousers? Many style UA-camrs believe it to be a no-no.
Never pulled the trigger I have dress boots but Chelsea looks off to me too dressy for jeans and not dressy enough for suit or dressier occasions IMO
They look good just I don’t know why
The black coat w the dark jeans looks really good thanks for the outfit ideas
For half sizers, do we size up on these or down ? Im a 12 but my chelseas some are a 11.5 some are 12.
Thanks for that review (and the discount code). Any intentions of reviewing Nicks new chelsea?
I believe Rose Anvil will do that
How does it compare to Thursday Cavalier?
How do they compare with comfort craftsmen? RM Williams are the best fitting most comfortable Chelsea's I've ever tried.
How are these in the rain?
I think Chelseas can be fine with a suit
Nicks boots is evolving so there will be a day where they will have a Chelsea.
I have the Koio Capri, but I think the toe is too round in the Trento boot. I have 4 pairs of Magnanni Chelseas and I have worn my black leather pair with a suit. Women really like them.
Man I've heard a lot about Magnanni lately, I really need to check them out
@@Stridewise it’s a Nordstrom shoe. I mean that in the worst way possible.
They definitely work a casual suit w/ soft shoulders, sans tie or odd jacket and trousers with or w/o tie (depending on the tie perhaps a textured solid tie, nothing eye catching). Definitely not with a structured suit.
When's the fermo review coming out?
it's out! ua-cam.com/video/7P-8yVy8nrQ/v-deo.html
They have a no-return policy. That’s a no-go. Soio is out. Not willing to buy from companies that don’t backup their products and won’t take them back. What if the quality is unacceptable.
Especially when they don't offer half sizes. Sure you can exchange for a different size but I don't want to commit this much money to something with the risk that I won't ever get a true fit as someone who usually is a half size.
Hmm the site says they accept returns and exchanges within 14 days? www.koio.co/pages/returns-and-exchanges
If you look up the exact Chelsea boot referenced in the video and under the product page this item specifically has a no-return policy unfortunately. Perhaps that’s justifiable if they carried half sizes Even a custom pair of crown Northampton’s I ordered all the way from England which took 3 months to make allow for returns
That’s because the boots are on sale, it’s not unusual to see this. And they say that after Christmas, the usual return policy applies
FYI your discount code was rejected.
ah that's because it's already 20% off for a christmas sale haha
@@Stridewise figured, but not sure that’s cool… their 20% discount doesn’t imply everyone has seen your video… if I didn’t see your video I’d have gotten 20% anyway in other words, so there was no benefit for those of us who do and the point is there was supposed to be, know what I mean? I think Koio is this case is on the wrong side of the fence here…
RM. Williams will always be my favorite.
But for the price these ones were quite beautiful. I'd still say the Cavalier is the one Chelsea boot where you get the most bang for your buck.
These are good, but not better than RM. Williams and also not better than Thursdays compared to the price in my opinion
The whole "can we wear chelsea boots with a suit" is silly. Isn't it?
I will be wearing my Chelsea boots with my new made to measure Daniel George suit to my daughter's wedding in July. No one will care. I guarantee that I, the father of the bride, will be the best dressed person in the room (except the bride) and no one will care but me.
I'm good with that, always.
I wish that I could try on the Trento's. I have totally blown through my budget with 2 new Chelsea boot pairs being made for me. The wait is killing me and I am worried about sizing.
They’re out of stock of my size, oh well then.
00:24 I see what you did there 😏
Shit. If One will survive the jungle of joizzzzey , the Amazon is childs play !
No half sizes and no option for a rubber sole is ridiculous in this day and age. I just can't get behind this boot/company.
I love the leather sole but agree on the half sizes. The Fermo has a rubber sole though
Chelseawise
Last Chelsea video for a while I swear
People wear sneakers with suits nowadays so...
I want a pair of brown Chealse Boots
I’m personally a Koio fan, but this whole videos reads pretty transparently as an ad and I can’t help but wish you disclosed the full extent of your arrangement with them. Your channel tends to be pretty straight forward, but this one feels sus. Pretty clearly scripted, pretty clearly hitting all of their talking points, and pretty clearly lacking objectivity.
Paid so well he even „forgot“ Carmina which offer better everything… what a sellout
Carmina's great, they're just hundreds of dollars more expensive and less versatile 🤷
Next video: "Croc is the best footwear ever invented"
This is video about why one might buy a Koio, not why one might buy a Carmina.
Nick has Carmina's videos:

@@Stridewise Koio not on sale: 365€ // Carmina 440€ nice try though … now keep preaching why suddenly Blake stitch is amazing you clown.
Also what Company does not offer returns these days?
@Soul of a robot lol
