The Outlet shoes are perfectly functional, but they present small aesthetic defects (either scratched leather, small adesive marks or radically different leather texture between left and right shoe).
A breather, a refuge from what you might like less in the summer. We designed the VIBE sandals according to barefoot principles so that they don't bother you, don't make you feel uncomfortable when walking, we reduced the number of straps to the minimum so you can go anywhere, always unbothered. Let them protect you from the hot grounds, allow them to free your feet, let them feel extremely light for when the sun may be weighing you down, let them make your life comfortable and ease the warm days.
We're continually reimagining and adapting them, so enjoy the new designs we bring out every year. We want them to go with all your outfits and meet your wardrobe style at any point of the day.
VIBE come in vegan (made from natural cork, breathable and quick-dry microfiber) and natural leather (chrome free, premium) options. The 6mm Vibram Supernewflex soles ensure your steps are shock-free on any surface, we added vegetable-tanned leather or quick-dry microfiber insoles and they have chrome free or breathable microfiber lining. Our advice is to go through them all and choose what best suits your lifestyle and preferences over the summer. Whichever model you choose, we guarantee it'll tick all the 'comfy' boxes for the warm months.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU: choose a size that is 0.5cm or even 1cm longer than your foot’s length. The Velcro straps will help you adjust the sandals perfectly so don't worry they might feel loose on your ankles. Tikki thought of everything.
Have a glorious summer, friends!
Most Tikki Shoes products are manufactured from natural leather and so must be cared for in the manner usually applicable to leather footwear, with a few exceptions:
1. You must not wash the footwear in a washing machine! Due to rather long washing cycles, their duration usually exceeding an hour, the leather is submerged in water for too long which can result in its scaling and shrinking when drying. Additionally, the risk of colour transfer increases in contact with water. Tikki shoes should only be cleaned with special leather care products.
2. The velour leather requires periodical cleaning when the surface becomes dirty or greasy. You don't need to clean it very frequently.
In this case you must use a dedicated product, such as Bamboo Lotion.
3. The outside leather of baby shoes/outdoor footwear/sandals/wool boots must be cleaned only with special leather care products.
4. The drying must occur slowly and exclusively at room temperature: avoid drying the footwear next to heat sources (radiator, stove, fan, fire, hair dryer or other heat sources, or by exposing the footwear to direct sunlight) which would harden the leather and cause scaling on its surface.
5. Do not use bleach, detergents or solvent-based solutions to clean the footwear.
Deposit the footwear in dry spaces and in boxes to avoid colour transfer; avoid moisture.
Avoid getting caught or stepping on sharp metal objects, stones, glass shards, oils, fuel, and thinners. 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.
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.
