The Ingrid Brown Reptile-Embossed Leather

The Ingrid is a slip-in loafer that brings structure to everyday dressing. Rich brown reptile-embossed leather gives its sharp silhouette depth and character, while the open back makes it easy to wear on the move. Pair it with tailored trousers for work, relaxed denim or a summer dress when you want something polished without effort. An easy choice for busy city days and travel, The Ingrid makes simple outfits look considered.

Like all Blankens shoes, The Ingrid is handcrafted in a small, family-run factory in northern 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 refining fit, function, and feel — making sure each shoe has a clear purpose in the wardrobe. We design shoes that earn their place by being useful, considered, and comfortable.

The Ingrid is a women’s slip-in loafer made in reptile-embossed leather with a sharp, structured silhouette and flat sole. Designed for everyday wear, travel, and warm-weather styling, it pairs effortlessly with dresses, shorts, tailoring, and casual outfits — a versatile leather loafer that balances function, comfort, and modern edge.

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.

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.

How to use these measurements
Insole length is measured from heel to toe. Leave a little room at the front: boots may feel more comfortable with a little extra space, while loafers usually fit best with less. Pointed styles extend beyond where the toes sit, so the pointed tip does not provide extra room for the toes. If you are between sizes, a thin insole can help create a half-size. For closed heels, a half insole can fine-tune the fit.

Inner sole:
36 = 23,7 cm
37 = 24,4 cm
38 = 25,1 cm
39 = 25,8 cm
40 = 26,5 cm
41 = 27,2 cm
42 = 27,9 cm
