The Matilda Black Leather
The Matilda gives you the pointed silhouette you want from a heel, with comfort for everyday life. Its clever shape is widest where your foot is widest, creating room without compromising its sleek look. Wear it with tailored trousers at work, denim for dinner or a skirt and tights when the weather turns cooler. Confident and polished but very easy to live in, The Matilda shows that elegance and comfort can belong together.
Designed by Blankens in Stockholm and produced in Portugal, The Matilda is crafted using responsibly sourced leather from European tanneries rated by the Leather Working Group. Each pair is made in a small, family-run factory with long experience in traditional shoemaking. The focus is on balance — between structure and softness, durability and refinement — resulting in a boot built to last both in construction and style.
Team Blankens created The Matilda from our own wardrobes and real lives. As women designing for women, we wanted a heel that could keep up: long workdays, walking between meetings, dinners that stretch into evenings. The Matilda is a favorite because it feels reliable without feeling boring — sharp enough to elevate an outfit, comfortable enough to forget you’re wearing heels at all.
The boot is crafted in smooth black leather with a clean, refined finish that enhances its sculptural shape while remaining soft on the foot. Elastic side panels allow easy entry and add flexibility to the fit. Lined in smooth leather for comfort and breathability. Set on a stable, well-balanced 6 cm heel and finished with a Tunit sole, designed to support everyday wear while maintaining a sleek, confident profile.
