Men's leather sandals and slides, made in Portugal.
Our summer footwear, made with the same care as the shoes: clean leather and suede sandals and slides on a cushioned footbed. No logos, no plastic-looking trims, just Mediterranean Suede and full grain leather in quiet colours. Designed in our Dutch studio and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal.
The SL 01 is a clean single-strap leather slide, the considered version of the slip-on slide most men reach for in summer; the SL 03 is a cross-strap sandal with a little more hold. Across more than 500 verified reviews ETQ holds 4.6 out of 5, and buyers describe them as comfortable and smart, which is rare for a sandal.
The range
- SL 01 slide: a clean single-strap leather or suede slide, worn straight out of the box.
- SL 03 sandal: a cross-strap build with more hold across the foot.
How to wear them
Wear them with shorts and a T-shirt on warm days, or with relaxed linen-weight trousers. The tonal leathers keep them looking considered rather than beachy, so a leather slide works past the pool, on the terrace or into town.
How they fit
Sandals and slides run true to size. If you are between sizes or prefer a little room around the strap, take the larger one. Each product page carries a fit indicator built from real customer returns.
Frequently asked about sandals and slides
Do ETQ sandals and slides run big or small?
They run true to size. If you are between sizes, take the larger one for a little more room around the strap; the fit indicator on each product page is built from real returns.
What is the difference between the SL 01 slide and the SL 03 sandal?
The SL 01 is a single-strap slide you step straight into; the SL 03 is a cross-strap sandal that holds the foot a little more securely. Both sit on the same cushioned footbed.
Are they a considered alternative to a plain leather slide?
Yes. The SL 01 is a clean leather or suede slide with no logos or plastic trims, made in Portugal on a cushioned footbed, so it reads considered rather than beachy.
Will the footbed mould to my foot?
The cushioned footbed is comfortable from the first wear and settles in with use.
Can I wear them for more than the beach?
Yes. In tonal suede and full grain leather they read considered rather than beachy, so they carry shorts and a T-shirt or relaxed linen trousers just as easily.
How do I care for the leather and suede?
Wipe leather clean and treat suede with a protector spray before first wear. See our shoe care range.

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.
American Fleece
Comfort meets durability in our American Fleece. This fabric is made from a blend of premium cotton and synthetic fibers, providing a soft yet resilient texture. Known for its exceptional warmth and insulation, American Fleece is perfect for layering or wearing on its own. Its slightly brushed surface creates a plush, cozy feel, making it ideal for cooler climates. Despite its softness, this fleece is highly durable and resistant to pilling, ensuring it maintains its luxurious feel wear after wear. A staple in athleisure and casualwear, American Fleece offers the perfect balance of comfort and performance.
Italian Fleece
Elegance meets functionality with our Italian Fleece. This luxurious fabric is crafted from a premium cotton blend, renowned for its superior softness and refined texture. Italian Fleece is lightweight yet provides excellent warmth, making it an ideal choice for year-round comfort. Its smooth, polished surface gives it a sophisticated appearance, elevating casual wear to a new level of style. The meticulous Italian craftsmanship behind this fleece ensures it retains its shape and quality over time, offering both durability and a high-end feel. Perfect for layering or as a statement piece, Italian Fleece embodies the essence of quiet luxury with unparalleled comfort.
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 – Iron Free
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.
