We’re super excited to introduce a brand new model of our dear Lasta sandals! Now 100% vegan, because they’re made from natural cork! They’re amazing and we fell in love with the material from the first time we’ve set our eyes on it.
After extended research side by side with the Tikki® Crafters, we’ve found the perfect alternative to replace the natural leather of our other sandals with entirely organic material. You know this by now - We’re always trying to get one step closer to nature!
So, why cork? We know, it’s a surprise. But at the end of the day, it's a material that proves indispensable, because of its high resistance and because of how extremely lightweight and waterproof it is. To give you a bit of a background story, the cork we use is actually harvested from the cork oaks once they reach maturity. Of course, the process doesn’t harm the trees, as the bark regrows completely again afterward. Cork is well-known for its ability to absorb vibrations and direct impact, which makes it perfect. Besides this, it acts as an air cushion. So, it quickly embraces the shape of the foot, from the first time you put the sandals on!
Compared to the classic Lasta model, where we used Chrome Free lining, this time around, we went for a synthetic one, made out from breathable microfiber, antimicrobial, that doesn’t generate odor. Its thermo-regulating ability provides maximum comfort and total dryness inside the sandal. Also, the vegetable-tanned leather insoles were replaced by synthetic ones, which are softer and anti-skid.
The vegan Lasta CORK sandals are here to give the little ones even more freedom! Easy to put on, they become even easier to forget that they’re wearing them.
We do have to say that we’re so happy that we found a material that goes hand in hand with all the barefoot characteristics, which are, of course, a staple of the Tikki® Shoes brand - excellent lightness and flexibility, complete care for the skin, healthiest support for walking and natural development.
ProTip: The Lasta CORK sandals are not only super resistant but also super easy to clean!

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.
