Description
The VIBE collection was created for those who want barefoot sandals free of animal-derived materials, without any compromise on quality or comfort. We chose natural cork as our alternative to animal leather, after an extensive search alongside our craftsmen. The result: lightweight, water-resistant sandals that feel comfortable from the very first wear.
Features
- Natural cork comes from the bark of the cork oak, harvested only after the tree reaches maturity. The process doesn't damage the tree, and the bark fully regenerates.
- Cork absorbs vibrations and shock. Like an air cushion, it shapes to your foot right after the first wear.
- The ultra-flexible 6 mm Vibram sole ensures confident ground contact with every step.
- Breathable microfiber lining keeps your feet dry and comfortable.
- Patterns are continuously tested and calibrated to fit every foot type and instep height.
- The velcro strap allows a custom, adjustable fit.
Our tip: choose a size 0.5-1 cm longer than your foot length, then adjust the strap for the perfect fit.

How to measure your feet:
1. Place a piece of paper against a wall. Place the foot (without socks) on the paper, with the heel against the wall, and trace the toes and the sides of your foot, with the pen held perfectly vertical.
2. Trace a line from the middle of the heel (the paper edge) until the longest point of the contour, and measure (that is contour length - line a. from the photo)
3. Trace a line from the "bunion" until under the little toe and measure (that is contour width - line b. from the photo)
4. Measure the circumference (c. from the photo) as shown below and note it down.
How to choose the correct size?
We do not recommend you to order exclusively by age or EU size, as these are merely indicative, the best thing to do is measure the child's foot.
Place the baby foot on a flat surface (the foot must be flattened by the body weight) and measure with a tape line or ruler the distance between the thumb and the back of the heel. For children under 18 months we recommend shoes MAXIMUM 0.7 cm longer than the foot, and for older children who already walk confidently, you can order shoes with a sole approximately 0.7-1 cm longer than the foot, to ensure optimum comfort and longer wearing.
Please have in mind that each 0.5cm is the equivalent to 1 size, so 1cm means 2 sizes!
* Our models are handcrafted. As such, sizes may vary with up to 2 mm
We care a lot about the crafting process for each pair of Lang.S/Tikki shoes and equally about every step you take in maintaining them. Here is a list of instructions to follow if you want your beautiful shoes to last you longer and better:
-
Avoid washing them in machines: washing your shoes in machines can damage the material and structure. Try to maintain your shoes as new only by cleaning them locally, manually, with the products recommended by us.
-
Dry them properly: after cleaning, shoes should be allowed to dry slowly at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, hair dryers or direct sunlight. All of these can deform or damage the shoes.
-
Use proper cleaning products: try to only use specialized cleaning products. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or any solvent-based products, they can irreversibly harm the shoes.
-
Cleaning your shoes regularly: clean them regularly to remove dirt and prevent long-term accumulation. For leather shoes, use a special brush or cloth, and for textile shoes, a gentle hand wash would be more appropriate.
-
Protect your pairs from harsh conditions: avoid exposing shoes to extreme conditions like excessive heat or moisture, both can lead to material damage or ungluing of the soles.
-
Store them correctly: a cool, dry place will do just fine. Avoid cramped conditions which can misshape them. Maybe you could put them away in boxes?
-
Alternate wearing: Rotate your shoes regularly to allow them to air out, which helps prevent odors or/and moisture buildup.
-
Care for suede shoes? Here is a tip: clean them gently with a soft cloth or a specially designed suede brush. Don’t do it too often, though. Only when dirt builds up because suede is a delicate material.
-
Avoid rough surfaces: be cautious of walking on abrasive surfaces that can scratch or scuff the soles and upper part of the shoes. Unfortunately, the warranty does not cover damage resulting from poor roads, footpaths or pavements, or from using the footwear on other rough, abrasive or corrosive surfaces.
-
Our footwear is not suitable for extreme sports activities, on vehicles or bicycles without pedals. We recommend you avoid them while wearing us.
Dear friend, please pay attention to our instructions, we would love you to enjoy Lang.S or LANG.S for many, many seasons. As we are not liable for damages resulting from not following the above mentioned instructions, or for discomfort resulting from wearing the wrong size or model/fitting of shoes, nothing would make us sadder than your pair getting damaged too early in your shared journey.
