The Malin Warm Brown Suede
The Malin is comfort food for your feet. Soft, warm and easy to wear, it brings the cosy feeling of a slipper to a shoe that works outdoors, too. Think slow mornings, coffee runs, weekends away or a day at home when you still want to feel dressed. Warm brown suede adds softness to everyday outfits, while its clean silhouette keeps the look considered. Proof that putting comfort first doesn't mean giving up on personal style.
Designed by Blankens in Stockholm and crafted by hand in a small, family-run factory in Portugal, The Malin is made using responsibly sourced leather from European tanneries that follow Leather Working Group standards. The production focuses on durability, balance, and long-term comfort, combining traditional shoemaking knowledge with a modern, pared-back design approach. Every detail is considered to ensure the shoe performs just as well over time as it does on first wear.
Team Blankens — a team of women — loves The Malin because it comes directly from our own lives. We designed it from the small, everyday moments we share: wanting warmth without bulk, comfort without giving up style, and shoes that move effortlessly between home and outside. It’s the pair you keep by the door, ready for slow mornings, quick errands, and everything in between. Easy, warm, and reassuring — yet refined enough to feel intentional. A favorite when you want to feel relaxed, but still put together.
The upper is crafted from soft suede leather that adds warmth and texture while maintaining a clean, understated look. Finished with smooth leather piping that frames the opening and reinforces the shape over time. Fully lined in warm wool for natural insulation and breathability, keeping feet comfortably tempered indoors and out. Set on a real rubber sole that provides grip, flexibility, and durability, making The Malin suitable for everyday use beyond the house. A considered indoor–outdoor slipper designed for comfort, longevity, and quiet style.
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.
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.
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.
