Our opinion
For 250 to 300€ per pair, we can say that the brand is relatively well positioned in the niche of "good accessible shoes", without being the most competitive either: these are pretty shoes with a rather classic style, with premium leathers. 'consistent quality for the price, and Blake assembly made in Portugal. The shapes are balanced, neither round nor tapered.
The quality/price ratio improves, however, if you take advantage of their decreasing prices with the purchase of several pairs.
The promise of above-average comfort is kept: the shapes are well crafted and ergonomic for the foot (particularly the arch support), the Blake stitching is flexible, and the foam used under the heel really improves cushioning when walking.
A good choice for those who need dress shoes, want to put comfort above all else, without sacrificing quality.
The history of the brand In Corio
In Corio is an “accessible” mid-range shoe brand (€250-300), focused more on a classic, dressy style.
The point that the brand wants to differentiate itself from its competition is its work on comfort, which is at the heart of the concept.
In Corio claims to rework the construction of a Blake shoe to make it more comfortable from the first wear, considering that the comfort of shoes is one of the main obstacles to purchasing for many men, who nevertheless need to have the well-shod feet at work.
