The Lizzy Braided Black Leather

The Lizzy Braided adds rich texture to the everyday ballet flat. Woven black leather gives the familiar silhouette a distinctive finish, while the softly structured shape looks just as right with tailored trousers as with relaxed denim. The low heel adds a subtle lift for busy days and evenings out. Understated but full of detail, The Lizzy is an easy way to make simple outfits feel considered without giving up comfort.

Designed in Stockholm and made in Portugal, The Lizzy Braided combines black leather with a smooth leather lining. The braided detail adds interest without limiting how you wear it. With regular care, its versatile shape can return to your wardrobe season after season.

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.

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Use a care product suitable for smooth leather and test it on an inconspicuous area first. Let the shoes dry naturally if damp; store away from direct heat and sunlight.

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.

Back heel height: approximately 1.5 cm.

Available in EU sizes 36–42.
