Lang.S (formerly Tikki) Soul Sandals Review

The Lang.S Soul sandals, formerly known as Tikki Soul, epitomize the essence of barefoot footwear designed for warmer days and the joy of outdoor adventures. Crafted with a minimalist 6 mm ultra-flexible Vibram sole and premium materials, these sandals are a testament to comfort and durability.

Design and Composition

The Soul sandals are ingeniously designed to provide a natural walking experience. Featuring a delicate embrace on the big toe and a smart adjustable ankle strap, they offer unparalleled freedom and a secure fit. The minimalist Vibram sole not only enhances flexibility but also ensures optimal ground feel, promoting better balance and posture.

The soft leather upper of the sole is a standout feature, offering exceptional comfort and effective shock absorption. Despite over 5 years of use, my own pair shows minimal wear on the Vibram sole, with only a few loose threads—a testament to their robust construction and longevity.

Fit and Comfort

For those unfamiliar with barefoot footwear, Lang.S recommends choosing a size that allows for 0.5 to 1 cm of space beyond your foot measurement. The Velcro strap allows for easy adjustment, ensuring a customized fit that accommodates various foot shapes and sizes. As someone with square feet who prefers not to have a cross-over toe strap, the Soul sandals provide an ideal fit and comfort level.

Aesthetics

Available in a variety of colors, the Soul sandals effortlessly complement any style. Whether paired with casual attire for a day at the beach or dressed up for an evening out, they offer versatility without compromising on comfort or functionality.

Durability and Value

Priced between £55-65 on the Lang.S website, the Soul sandals represent excellent value for money given their longevity and performance. Despite being discontinued, older versions (V1 and V2) are still available on the Lang.S website, catering to those who cherish the original Tikki design.

Summary

The Lang.S Soul sandals, formerly Tikki Soul, remain my top choice for summer footwear. Their combination of comfort, durability, and minimalist design makes them a standout in the barefoot sandal market. While they may no longer be in production, their availability in older versions ensures that enthusiasts can still experience the unmatched quality of these sandals.

If you’re seeking a sandal that promotes natural foot movement, offers superior comfort, and stands the test of time, the Lang.S Soul sandals are an exceptional choice. Whether you’re strolling along the beach or exploring new trails, these sandals deliver on both style and substance.

Note: For those interested, you can find the Lang.S Soul sandals on the Lang.S website, where older versions may still be available for purchase.
