The Willow Single Buckle Tan Leather

The Willow Single Buckle is an easy slide with attitude. A tan leather strap meets darker brown leather beneath an oversized gold-tone buckle, creating contrast. The adjustable strap lets you fine-tune the fit, while the flat sole keeps the feeling relaxed. Slip it on with linen trousers, favourite denim or a summer dress when you want something practical that still makes an outfit feel complete. Simple but full of character.

Designed by Blankens in Stockholm and made in Portugal, The Willow Single Buckle brings soft leather and useful detailing together. The two brown tones make the buckle feel like part of the design, and the simple flat construction is made for everyday rotation. Care for the leather and the sandal will settle naturally into the wardrobe you actually wear.

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 the leather with a soft cloth. Apply a small amount of neutral leather cream suitable for smooth leather, testing first on a discreet area; use a colourless product to protect both brown shades. Keep cream off the buckle and wipe the black footbed gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the sandal and let it dry naturally away from direct heat.

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.
