We’re super excited to introduce a brand new model of our dear Aranya 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 Aranya 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 new Aranya 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 Aranya CORK sandals are not only super resistant but also super easy to clean!
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.
