THE SEATTLE WATER RESISTANT LEATHER BOOT
The Seattle is a boot designed for real winter movement — when cold ground, puddles, and unpredictable weather are part of everyday life. Built on a chunky, durable sole that lifts the foot away from icy pavement, it keeps warmth in and cold out while giving you the confidence to stride straight through wet streets. The treated, PFAS-free water-resistant leather works together with a hidden waterproof membrane, creating a protective barrier without making the boot feel heavy or stiff. A higher shaft eliminates cold gaps around the ankle, while elastic side panels make The Seattle easy to slip on and off — practical details that quietly do their job. This is the kind of boot you rely on day after day: functional, protective, and strong in silhouette, with a shape that holds up just as well to city dressing as it does to winter conditions.
Like all Blankens shoes, The Seattle is handcrafted in a small, family-run factory in Portugal. We use European leather sourced from Gold Rated Leather Working Group tanneries. The leather is PFAS-free and responsibly treated, ensuring 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 and test every style ourselves, carefully working through fit, function, and feeling — making sure each shoe has a clear role in the wardrobe. We design shoes that earn their place by being useful, considered, and comfortable.
