The Opal Brown Suede with Blue Leather Lining

The Opal proves that small details can make an outfit. Warm brown suede meets striking blue leather lining, adding a touch of colour to its easy slip-on shape. Wear it with linen trousers, relaxed denim or a simple summer dress for a look that feels considered without effort. Understated from a distance and distinctive up close, The Opal brings personality to warm-weather dressing and earns its place in your holiday suitcase.

Designed in Stockholm and made in Portugal, The Opal pairs a rich suede upper with a leather lining and a mixed-rubber outsole. Its simple silhouette is made to be worn often; give the suede regular care to keep its texture looking its best.

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.

Brush gently with a suede brush to lift surface dust. Before first wear, use a protector suitable for suede and test it on a small hidden area. If the shoes get wet, allow them to dry naturally away from heat. Avoid shoe cream on the suede.

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.
