Measuring device Plus12
The Plus12 measures the lenght of the child's foot and automatically adds 12 mm (approx. 1/2 inch), the extra space necessary for a correct fit.
Measures the inside lenght of shoes.
Did you know that over half of all childrean tested wear shoes that are much to short for their feet?
Poorly-fitting shoes cause damage to kids feet.
To fit correctly, the inside lenght of a shoe should be at least 12 mm (aprox. 1/2 inch) longer than the foot.
Here's how it works
1. To measure the feet: Place your child's foot either barefoot or in close-fitting socks on the Plus12 and measure the lenght. The Plus12 automatically adds 12 mm (approx. 1/2 inch). For exemple: If the Plus12 shows a lenght of 180mm, then the foot is 168mm long and the shoe should measure at least 180mm in inside lenght. Make a note of the lenght of the larger foot in mm.
2. To measure the shoe: Place the Plus12 inside the shoe and extend until it touches the fron of the shoe. Tikki Shoes note: Please make sure the shoe fits snugly at the heel and at the ball and that the foot does not slip around in the shoe.
3. Does the shoe fit? If the plus12 foot measurement is the same as the shoe measurement, then the shoe fits (exemple: lenght of foot as measured by the Plus12=180mm, inside lenght of shoe=180 mm).
Tikki Shoes note: the 12 mm extra space it's a recommendation of austrian specialists, but from our exerience this is a little to much space, especially fot the first steps. Our advice is to have an extra space of maximum 7-8 mm.
Why doesn't the red plastic tip of the Plus12 fit in some shoes?
The big toe of most kids just learning to walk is about 12 mm high - just like the red plastic tip of the Plus12. So if the tip of the Plus12 doesn't fit into the tip of the shoe, that shoe is not suitable for kids feet.

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.
