THE JULIE DUSTY OLIVE

The Julie is the heel you forget you’re wearing. Designed to give you all the elegance of a heel — without the feeling of elevation — it’s soft, gentle, and incredibly easy to live in. This is the shoe you reach for when you want to feel dressed, but comfortable. A true year-round wardrobe staple that works just as well with spring outfits as it does as an indoor dinner shoe during the colder months.

Like all Blankens shoes, The Julie is handcrafted in a small, family-run factory in northern Portugal. Made using Gold Rated Leather Working Group European leather, it ensures high quality, responsible sourcing, and a lower environmental impact.

At Blankens, we are a small group of women designing shoes for our own lives. We wear-test every style and work carefully through fit, function, and feeling — making sure each shoe has a clear role in your wardrobe. We make the shoes that make the outfit — and they are comfortable too.

The Julie is a women’s slingback heel in soft black leather with a pointed toe and a clean, minimal silhouette. The low 3 cm heel gives subtle lift while remaining walkable and stable. An elasticated back strap ensures the shoe stays securely in place and makes it easy to slip on. The soft leather construction makes The Julie especially gentle, even for sensitive or delicate feet.
