Lang.S - Language of the Soil represents the next step in the Tikki Shoes journey.
The EMBER shoes are designed for toddlers who crave independence and want to put on their shoes by themselves, which is why we've incorporated a Velcro closure. They come in vibrant colours, attractive patterns, but also in monochromatic designs with tiny color hints.
The choice of waxed goat leather is intentional, to withstand the scuffs that come with all chilhood’s curiosities, ensuring the shoes keep their shine over time. The sole is made from soft, flexible TR (Thermoplastic Rubber) blended with recycled cork scraps, providing an excellent ground feel and high traction.
This combination not only supports the sustainability aspect of the footwear but also enhances the barefoot walking experience, promoting healthier foot development and ensuring that children can move naturally and confidently in their EMBER shoes.
While maintaining our commitment to sustainability, attention to people and the environment, and promoting healthy growth and a consciously lived life, grounded in all that surrounds us, this new identity also symbolises an advancement in our manufacturing processes. We have partnered with a talented team of barefoot shoemakers from Portugal, so in the new Lang.S collections, the renowned expertise of Romanian craftsmen is combined with that of the Portuguese.
Comparison to Tikki: LANG.S Ember shoes are pretty similar to Tikki Harlequin shoes, in terms of length and width. We recommend them for medium width feet.
Maintenance tip: Clean the shoes only with specialized leather care products. Maintain the shine and colour of the leather by waxing it every now and then, with shoe wax.

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 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.
