THE MICHELLE CHOCOLATE BROWN SUEDE

The Michelle is the kind of boot that quietly unlocks more of your wardrobe. Sometimes we call it the skirt and dress activator — not because that’s all it is, but because it solves a very real problem. When temperatures drop, dresses and skirts often get pushed aside. The Michelle brings them back into rotation. Its tall shaft creates warmth, balance, and structure, making lighter pieces feel wearable again through autumn and winter. At the same time, it works just as naturally with tailored trousers, denim, or wide-leg pants. A boot designed to extend the life of what you already own.

Like all Blankens shoes, The Michelle is handcrafted in a small, family-run factory in Portugal using European leather from Gold Rated Leather Working Group tanneries. The suede is carefully selected for its softness and durability, and the boot is built with longevity in mind — fewer but better materials, responsible sourcing, and skilled craftsmanship at every step.

At Blankens, we are a small team of women designing shoes for our own lives. We test every style ourselves, thinking about real wardrobes, real climates, and real days. The Michelle exists because we wanted a tall boot that feels strong but never heavy, elegant without being precious, and useful across seasons. A boot that stands ready — and earns its place year after year.

The Michelle is a tall women’s boot crafted in soft brown suede with a smooth, matte finish. It features a rounded toe, a clean shaft with a subtle buckle detail at the ankle, and a low block heel for stability and all-day comfort. The shaft height is designed to sit perfectly under skirts and dresses while remaining easy to wear with trousers. Finished with a durable sole that offers grip and everyday wearability, The Michelle is a versatile suede boot made for colder months and a more active wardrobe.
