DESCRIPTION

With a sleek black leather exterior and a full wool lining that runs all the way through the shaft and foot (except for the insole, which is crafted in leather), this under-the-knee boot is built to keep you warm while looking effortlessly sharp. The smooth leather outer delivers a polished, minimal look that pairs with anything, while the insulating wool offers natural warmth and breathability. The Maja isn’t just made to handle winter—it’s made to stand out in it.

Like all Blankens shoes, The Maja is handmade in a small, family-run factory in Portugal. It’s crafted using high-quality, Gold-rated European leather (certified by the Leather Working Group) to ensure responsible sourcing and a lower environmental impact

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Under-the-knee shaft for both warmth and style

Fully lined with soft black wool for all-day coziness

Sturdy sole with grippy under-sole texture for reliable traction in snow and slush

Sleek black leather upper that works with anything

Easy pull-on style – no zippers, no fuss

COMFORT AND FIT

Fits true to size. The wool lining will mold gently to your foot with wear. If you’re between sizes or have high arches, we recommend sizing up for a more relaxed fit.

MATERIAL

We use only European leather from tanneries rated Gold by the Leather Working Group. The upper is smooth black leather. It has a warm black wool lining, a leather insole and a durable rubber sole with deep tread.

CARE

Treat your shoes to make them last longer! Regular care keeps your shoes beautiful, soft, and strong. By cleaning, conditioning, and protecting the leather, you preserve its suppleness, prevent cracks, and maintain its natural shine. Think of it as skincare — for your most trusted companions. A small ritual that makes a big difference, keeping your Blankens favorites fresh and ready for every season.

We recommend using a protective spray, such as the Water Proofer, before first wear and reapply regularly to guard against moisture and stains.

Condition the leather regularly with shoe cream to keep it soft and prevent drying and to maintain color and finish. Use a damp cloth to remove dirt and keep them looking fresh.

Don't forget the inside. Refresh the insole by cleaning it with The Foam Cleaner.

We recommend storing them in a cool, dry place when not in use, with a shoe tree or paper stuffing to maintain shape. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct heat.

MEASUREMENTS

The inner sole length is measured from heel to toe. Add a bit of extra space for the feet. For shoes with a pointed toe, keep in mind that your foot will not extend all the way into the pointed end.

The Maja high is true to size, and fits most feet, narrow to normal and slightly wider.

We make the shoes that make the outfit

Designed by women, for women — with thoughtful details, carefully chosen materials and room for real life.

Founded in Sweden in 2014 by fashion journalist Cecilia Blankens, we’re an independent, women-owned brand. We design, test and wear every style ourselves, paying attention to soft materials, room where feet need it and heels that feel balanced. Looking good should feel good, too.

Our shoes and bags are handcrafted in small, family-run factories in Portugal using carefully selected European materials. Quality you can feel, craftsmanship worth caring for and design you’ll reach for season after season.
