The Julie Beige Suede

The Julie in beige suede is an understated heel you'll reach for again and again. Its pointed toe and slingback silhouette feel polished without trying too hard, while the low heel gives a comfortable lift. Light beige suede softens tailored trousers, denim or a favourite dress. Wear it from the office to dinner or bring it along for a special occasion. Versatile and easy to style, The Julie makes simple outfits feel complete.

Handcrafted in a small, family-run factory in northern Portugal, The Julie is made with a soft suede upper, a suede-covered heel and smooth black leather lining. The asymmetric strap adds a modern detail, while the elasticated slingback keeps the shoe comfortably and securely in place.

At Blankens, we are a small group of women designing shoes for our own lives. We wear-test every style and work carefully through fit, function and feeling, making sure each shoe has a clear role in your wardrobe. We make the shoes that make the outfit — and they are comfortable too.

Style The Julie Beige Suede with tailored trousers, denim, a silk skirt or a relaxed suit. Its warm neutral shade moves effortlessly between office hours, dinners, weddings and everyday occasions, making it an easy year-round alternative to a classic black heel.

A pointed toe and low heel bring a polished finish to an easy slingback.

Flexible strap sits securely around the foot.

Tunit sole for everyday wear.

The pointed shape fits close at the toe. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size. The elastic slingback adjusts around the heel and helps keep the shoe secure.

We use only European Gold rated Leather Working Group leathers. The upper is warm beige suede with a slingback strap. The flexible strap sits securely around the foot. It has a smooth black leather lining, a Tunit sole and a suede-covered 4 cm kitten heel.

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.

Protect the suede before first wear with a spray suitable for suede. Brush gently with a clean suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dust. Treat marks with a suede eraser or specialist cleaner, testing first on a discreet area. Avoid heavy rain and allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Store with tissue or shoe trees to help maintain the shape.

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.

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.
