These are the lovely Aranya – our dear new barefoot sandals for kids. Inspired by nature, like everything here at Tikki Shoes, they renew and improve our line of children’s shoes. Sporting a brand new fun & functional design, the Aranya leather sandals feature an overall improved shape and plenty of awesome color choices.
Healthy natural footwear characteristics that make Tikki Shoes desired worldwide are – and forever will be – main components of our intensive work. Quality fairtrade materials, barefoot principles and flexible nonrestrictive designs help the correct growth and development of feet. Children who are barefoot as much as possible and wear barefoot or barefoot friendly footwear have better posture, take excellent first steps, then continue walking skillfully and connected.
The kids’ sandals new and improved shape is very versatile and will fit both a low and a high instep, as well as a thin or a chubby ankle. Aranya’s vegetable tanned insole, along with the Tikki Shoes signature Chrome Free lining protect the skin from absorbing toxic substances usually found in mainstream footwear. Another novelty is the 4mm Vibram sole, more protective than the previous yet just as flexible.
Airy and very comfortable, the Aranya are great summer shoes developed exclusively through intensive research and testing. Easy to put on, even easier to forget that they’re on, these sandals were created to keep kids feet healthy and happy. As always, Tikki Shoes are handcrafted in our ethical workplace situated in Timișoara, Romania, within the European Union and in total compliance with EU standards. To these standards we add our vast experience in shoemaking and a sincere love for crafting.
Tikki Crafter’s insight: on the Aranya sandals, size is inscribed on the yellow tag found just below the easy adjustable Velcro strap (see photo). All the new Tikki Shoes models launched starting 2019 will have changed sizes (+1 from the standard) and can be differentiated either from the yellow tag below the strap, or by the value inscribed directly on the sole of the footwear.

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 Tikki 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.

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
