THE RADFORD BLACK

The Radford is a pump with attitude — all the sharpness and confidence of a heel, without the feeling of wearing one. Designed to look decisive and feel effortless, it’s the shoe you reach for when flats won’t do, but comfort still matters. With its low, well-balanced heel placed perfectly under the foot, The Radford delivers that unmistakable heel feeling — sharp, polished, and confident — while feeling close to zero on the foot. A true go-to for business, sharp tailoring, and evenings out.

Like all Blankens shoes, The Radford is crafted by hand in a small, family-run factory in Portugal. We use European leather sourced from Gold Rated Leather Working Group tanneries, 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 make the shoes that make the outfit — and they are comfortable too.

The Radford is a women’s leather pump made in smooth leather with a classic pump silhouette and a softly wrapped leather upper. It features a low 4 cm heel that is centred directly under the heel for balance and stability. The clever construction and considered fit reduce pressure on the foot, offering sharp style without the usual pinch. A modern take on a classic pump, designed to be worn from day to night.
