Nido – the essence of barefoot
All the experience now at the basis of Tikki Shoes and your much appreciated suggestions, those of the barefoot community, have led to Nido – meaning “nest” in Italian. Due to the new features, Nido are probably the most barefoot sandals we could have created.
Their soles are perfectly flexible, and just 2 (two!) mm thick. Inside, a 0.8 mm textile insole has replaced the old leather one, preventing foot sliding and excessive sweat.
The anatomical shape of the new Nido offers ideal toe space, especially for the big toes. At sizes 24-32, the width fit of the sandals might be initially a bit snug (especially on chubby feet). However, wearing them for a bit allows for the leather to stretch just as much needed for a natural comfy fit.

Both super-resistant to wear and really cute looking is the new 1 mm Nido rubber toe cap. It allows leather to naturally take the shape of the growing feet, while avoiding frontal wear and tear marks. This is possible due to the material’s excellent resistance, without any doubt superior to any other alternative of the same flexibility and elasticity.
The new Nido barefoot kids’ sandals are multi-purpose, wearable outdoors in the summer, as well as at home, kindergarten or indoor play spaces. They can be easily cleaned with a wet wipe or special leather care products.
Tikki Crafter’s insight: the Nido barefoot sandals are handmade, therefore sometimes you might notice small differences in shape, while the leather edges on the outside of the thread are not glued together, so a slight separation of these edges is not considered a defect.

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!
