The Radford Brown Suede
The Radford is a pump with attitude — all the sharpness of a heel, with an effortless feel. Its low, balanced heel sits beneath the foot, giving stability to a silhouette that looks anything but ordinary. Rich brown suede adds softness to tailored trousers, denim and a blazer or your favourite dress. Confident, clean and comfortable, The Radford is the kind of shoe that makes an outfit feel complete, from morning to evening.
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 6 cm heel that is centered 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.
