THE THILDA BOOT
The Thilda is a bold platform boot designed to bring attitude to everyday dressing. With its strong silhouette and distinctive front zipper, it adds instant character to even the simplest outfit. Despite its statement-making look, The Thilda is surprisingly easy to wear — giving you height, comfort, and confidence from busy weekdays to evenings out.
Each pair is handcrafted in a small, family-run, solar-powered factory in northern Portugal, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail. Made using Gold Rated Leather Working Group European leather, The Thilda reflects 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 working through fit, function, and feeling — making sure each shoe has a clear role in the wardrobe. We make the shoes that make the outfit — and they are comfortable too.
The Thilda is crafted in smooth black leather with a rounded toe, distinctive front zipper, and lightweight 5 cm platform sole. It has a slightly generous toe box, leaving comfortable room for your toes or an insulating insole during winter, while fitting snugly over the foot and around the ankle and leg. We recommend choosing your usual size and only sizing down if your feet are particularly narrow and slender. The lightweight sole keeps the boot comfortable and practical for everyday wear. A confident statement boot that feels every bit as good as it looks.
