About the brand

INTENTIONALLY BLANK is a human-forward, queer-owned lifestyle brand founded by Ty McBride in 2014 in Los Angeles. The brand emerged after McBride, a veteran of the shoe industry with over 25 years of experience at companies like Jeffrey Campbell and Solestruck, was fired from his dream job and decided to create his own vision. The brand's philosophy centers on creating pieces that help fill the 'blanks' in personal style, with shoes serving as the ultimate accessory and expression of individual identity. Known for hyper-wearable footwear that transcends seasons and trends, INTENTIONALLY BLANK works with progressive factories in China, Spain, and Brazil. The brand has expanded beyond footwear to include apparel and accessories, maintaining a commitment to sustainability through recycled packaging and exploring innovative ways to reuse materials. With locations in Los Angeles and Hudson, NY, the brand has garnered a cult following for its minimal aesthetic with vintage inspirations and touches of visual irony.

I have some green mules from IB and literally everywhere I go I get questions and compliments. I'm actually not really a show girlie but when I saw these I knew they were special. They are also wayyy comfier than I even imagined.

Intentionally Blank somehow manages to make styles that are both trendy and timeless simultaneously. My cream boots have held up incredibly well, even in salt-soaked sidewalks!

These are so beautiful and comfy. The wider toe box fit my feet and doesn't hurt my bunions. I like the look with my ankle wide leg pants.

I finally caved and bought the intentionally blank tour leather boots in chocolate while they were on sale. They are even better in person they are so flattering and the leather is so soft and supple.

In terms of quality, the design is beautiful and leather is really nice but I was surprised by the material of the sole which is a light-weight foam rather than rubber. It seems like it could easily rip or wear-down quickly.

I think their shoes are cute but the sizing didnt work well for me. I have a longer narrow foot, and am pretty steady with my shoe size. I do like their styles, but the quality is a bit questionable for the price.

These shoes are made of a patent leather of poor quality. Additionally, the heel is not covered with that. It is covered with a black cellophane which started to come off while I was trying it on, exposing the beige, plastic heel.

Looking up return info - I didn't realize this wasn't Urban Outfitters. You have to return to the seller, and the seller as no info other than a street address and you must return withing 30 days of purchasing (not receiving, purchasing!).

I'm a size 7 or 7 1/2 and these squeeze my toes even without socks. I don't know if sizing up would fix the problem (at the moment the size 8's are sold out) but it's a bummer because the shoes are so cute. I would only recommend if you have slim or narrow feet.
