Disappointed with this new version
I had previously bought the earlier version of this model and wore them a lot. Unfortunately, I didn’t take proper care of them and, after so much use, they eventually became quite worn out. So I was really pleased to see that the model was available again, especially as it had apparently been redesigned to offer more flexibility. One improvement I do appreciate is the new white sole, which looks much better and more modern than the slightly yellowish sole of the previous version. Unfortunately, after wearing this new version, I have to say I’m quite disappointed. They are definitely more flexible, but in my opinion, far too flexible. The foot no longer feels properly supported, and that almost sneaker-like feel that I really liked about the previous version is gone. When walking, the sides of the shoes tend to spread out rather than hold the foot securely in place. I also find the sole noticeably less comfortable. After about an hour of walking, my feet start to hurt because there simply isn’t enough support or cushioning. For me, the previous version was clearly better. I think it would have been enough to keep its structure and support while simply improving the flexibility and making the sole feel more like that of a comfortable sneaker. It’s a shame, because I really loved the previous version of this model.
Good product
Great service and a top-notch product

Shoes
I've been a fan of ETQ since day one. The shoes fit like a glove.
Translated from Dutch
A black loafer is the most versatile slip-on a man can own: sharp enough for tailoring, easy enough for denim, and ready to wear straight out of the box. ETQ's black loafers span soft suede and full-grain leather, made in Portugal on a durable rubber sole.
One shoe, most occasions
Black is the loafer that covers the widest range, from the office to dinner to the weekend, which is exactly how owners describe it: a favourite for almost every occasion, and a shoe that draws compliments. The slip-on build means no laces and no break-in, and the tone hides wear better than any other colour.
Suede or full-grain leather
The suede loafers read softer and more relaxed; full-grain leather is sharper and more formal. Both sit on a flexible rubber outsole, and the range runs from the classic LS penny loafer to the MC moccasin without the strap. See the wider loafer collection.
What to look for
- Soft suede for a relaxed look, or full-grain leather for a sharper one
- A clean slip-on with a discreet finish and durable rubber sole
- No laces, no break-in, ready straight out of the box
- Made in Portugal, black that hides everyday wear
Frequently asked
Are black loafers formal or casual?
Both, which is their strength. Full-grain leather black loafers dress up with tailoring; suede versions relax with chinos and denim. It is the most occasion-flexible shoe in the range.
Black suede or black leather loafers?
Suede is softer and more casual; full-grain leather is sharper and takes a polish. Each product page lists the material so you can match it to how you will wear them.
Can you wear black loafers without socks?
Yes. The lining and cushioned insole are made for it; pair them with no-show socks in warmer months. It is the intended way to wear a slip-on.
Do black loafers run true to size?
Loafers can sit slightly roomier than a sneaker and suede relaxes with wear, so if you are between sizes consider sizing down. The fit indicator on each product page, built from real return data, is the most reliable guide.

How to measure
Let’s find your perfect fit. Place a sheet of paper on the floor against the wall and put your feet (with socks) on it, heels against the wall. Make sure you lean on your feet with full power when measuring. Now you simply draw a line at the end of the biggest foot. Measure the distance with a ruler and find the size that matches it: see size table. Are you in between sizes? In that case, we suggest taking the bigger size.
Mediterranean Suede
Refined in style, matt in color. The ultra-soft suede leather is sanded and feels velvety soft. It is crafted from the inside layer of the leather hide. Mediterranean leather is the delicate choice.
Premium Suede
Experience unparalleled luxury. It's made of the finest selection of hides and superior finishing techniques. It is valued for its softness, flexibility, and ability to lend a sophisticated look. Our premium suede shoes need no lining, just one layer of leather. It wears like a second skin.
Nappa Leather
Soft. Smooth. Nappa leather makes extremely comfortable shoes. The leather is obtained from tanning animal hides. It is characterized by a fine grain and a smooth finish. It feels simply sophisticated.
Nubuck Leather
Premium nubuck: the best of the best. Exclusive leather that we sanded rough on the outside grain part of the hide, giving it a velvety butter-soft surface. It offers utmost suppleness.
Full Grain Leather
Full grain leather is naturally firmer and more durable as it is produced by retaining the top layer of the hide. Its appearance is natural, authentic, and robust. You are still able to see the grains. It looks just like the grains on your skin. We never sanded, buffed, or snuffed it, so this leather is super strong.
French Terry
Tès Chique. French terry is a knit characterized by its unique looped-back construction. One side is smooth, and the other side is textured with loops of thread. It is known for its comfort, breathability, and moisture-proof properties. French terry is available as lightweight or heavyweight.
Punti di Roma
Wrinkle-resistant, soft like a baby, and slightly elastic. This is Italian quality, knitted to perfection. Punti Di Roma has a heavy, rich quality as the stitches interlock on both sides of the fabric. The best part: it’s recovery properties. This fabric stays in shape. And so will you.
Bamboo
Bamboo fibers are derived from the pulp of bamboo plants. Bamboo knits are soft and breathable. Moisture wicking? Yes. Ideal for socks.

Piqué Knit
A true classic in fabric craftsmanship, piqué knit is renowned for its unique textured surface, characterized by a subtle waffle or honeycomb pattern. Originally developed for sportswear, piqué knit has evolved into a sophisticated fabric that balances structure with breathability. The weave creates tiny raised patterns, adding a tactile dimension while allowing air to flow easily, making it perfect for all-season wear.
Soft yet durable, piqué knit is frequently used in polo shirts and garments that require a balance between casual and formal. It drapes beautifully while maintaining a slight stretch, offering comfort without losing its shape. Known for its ability to hold its form and resist wrinkling, this fabric is an excellent choice for those who value a polished look with minimal maintenance.
Mercerized Cotton
Mercerized cotton is the epitome of luxury in cotton fabrics. Through a special finishing process, the cotton fibers are treated to enhance their natural properties, resulting in a fabric that is smoother, stronger, and more lustrous. The mercerization process not only strengthens the fibers but also gives the cotton a subtle sheen that adds an elevated, polished look to the material.
What sets mercerized cotton apart is its ability to hold dye exceptionally well, resulting in vibrant, rich colors that resist fading over time. It’s smoother to the touch than regular cotton, offering a silk-like feel without sacrificing breathability. This fabric is durable, resists shrinking, and maintains its shape, making it ideal for garments that combine sophistication with everyday wearability.
At ETQ, our mercerized cotton shirts offer a refined, elegant look with the comfort and practicality of cotton. It’s the perfect choice for those who appreciate understated luxury and long-lasting quality in their wardrobe essentials.

Twill fabric is a durable, structured material characterized by its diagonal weave pattern, offering a distinct texture and visual depth. Known for its strength and versatility, twill is used in garments that require a bit more durability while maintaining a polished, professional look. The diagonal weave provides natural wrinkle resistance, making it an excellent choice for both casual and formal attire.
What sets our Iron-Free Twill apart is its advanced treatment that ensures a smooth, crisp appearance straight out of the wash, eliminating the need for ironing. This fabric is designed to stay sharp and maintain its form throughout the day, providing an effortlessly polished look with minimal effort. Its ability to resist creasing and maintain its structure makes it ideal for busy professionals or frequent travelers who need their clothing to perform as well as they do.
