I absolutely love the Vergi in Caramel (as an example), but you don’t have my size left in stock. What can I do?

We make every effort to have your style and size in stock when you’re ready to purchase. However, we do sell out. If you find your size sold out on our site, don’t worry, it means we’ve probably already placed a new order with the factory. Back orders may take up to 8 weeks, so please contact us at hello@laiik.com to find out when to expect your style to be back in stock.

I love the Kiki, but would love to see it in purple. Can I make suggestions for a specific color?

Yes. We want to hear from you and know what you like. We can’t make every style in every color but we’re always updating our color story. Please give us feedback and who knows… a purple Kiki may show up on your doorstep one day :)

How do I care for my sandals?

Our vegetable-tanned vachetta leather is very unique and free of harmful toxins. We do suggest that you avoid getting your sandals wet as leather has not been treated with any water-proofing chemicals. Once you have worn them for around a week and the oils from your skin begin to sink in, the leather will become more flexible and resistant to the elements. If your sandals become dirty, make sure to wipe dirt away with a dry cloth before applying any leather conditioner or gentle cleanser. Always air dry, but avoid doing so in direct sunlight because the color may change.

What is vegetable-tanned leather and how is it different from other leathers?

In short, vegetable-tanned leather means that each hide is tanned is processed with natural tannins that are free of harmful chemicals. It’s one of the most traditional processes and the only one able to give leather it's unique characteristics. Vegetable-tanning uses only natural tannins found in trees and plants, and does not contain any toxic substances such as ado-dyes, nickel, PCP or chrome VI found in other tanning processes. This means that it’s not only less harmful on the environment, but also each hide is unique and ages beautifully, as the color darkens in the sun to form a rich patina. 

I’ve worn my Laiiks so much, I finally have worn down the rubber sole. What can I do? Can I take it to a shoe repair specialist?

Yes! We know your Laiiks will last you a long time, but if you wear them well (as we hope), eventually the thermorubber sole will wear down. Not to worry, a local shoe repair specialist can quite easily re-sole your shoe. We suggest you ask for a 4 millimeter rubber or vibram sole. Contact us at care@laiik.com if you have any questions about re-soling and repair.

What is Pelle al Vegetale?

They’re a pretty incredible consortium of Tuscan tanneries. If you don’t believe us, check them out here: http://www.pellealvegetale.it. But in short, Pelle Al Vegetale was founded in 1994 by a small group of Tuscan tanners, all of them operating in Tuscany, who share the same passion for vegetable-tanned leather and the same standards of production. This means that the Consortium acts as a guarantor that each hide is made using only natural tannins and that the productive cycle has a low impact on the environment. 

Among other things, it certifies that:

Raw hides used by their tanneries are the discarded by-products of the food industry. So no animal is killed for its skin.Vegetable tanned leather objects can be easily disposed at the end of its life, thanks to its chemical-biological characteristicsTheir tanneries have made huge investments in depuration systems and waste recyclingMany of the substances used during the tanning process are recovered, recycled and reused in different fields. For example, hair removed from raw hides is transformed into agricultural fertilizer; sludge produced by the depuration plants is reused in the construction field to make bricks (pretty cool!)Vegetable tanned leather does not contain any toxic substance.
