Lang.S

Barefoot brand from Romania.

Lang.S is a family-run Romanian brand from Timisoara, formerly known as Tikki Shoes, and it still makes mostly kids' barefoot shoes, with a smaller adult range of everyday shoes, sandals and boots. I like that they use chrome-free tanned leather, and the shoes are made in Romania and Portugal. Adult sizes run from EU 36 to 45, and the kids' shoes come in velcro or lace-and-zip styles.

Specialities: kids, sandals, boots, leather, unisex

How Lang.S fits

mixed toe box, wide width, mixed volume

Runs roomy, so I'd go down a size if you're between sizes. The boots lean higher volume and some people get heel slip, so low volume feet may want an insole, thick socks or heel lock lacing.
