Perfect smart/casual shoe
Have been looking for a smart trainer for some time, and these are it! Bought these for holiday, and they pair perfectly with straight-legged black linen trousers. Had a compliment on them the first day I wore them. They are very comfy, great quality, perfect fit - I’ll be back for another pair from ETQ very soon. Got my eye on 2 or 3 other pairs.

Nice shoes
This is the 2nd pair I`ve purchased and I find the quality to be far above the usual offerings from the high street brands. Love the style and comfort and the sale price helped too!

A stylish sneaker suitable for various occasions. The fit runs slightly on the roomy side, so I recommend going down half a size if possible.

Black leather sneakers for men
A black leather sneaker is the quiet workhorse of a wardrobe: it reads sharper than white and hides wear better, which makes it the easy choice for the office and for evening. Designed in the Netherlands and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal, ours come in smooth Premium Nappa, soft Mediterranean Suede and structured nubuck, all in deep jet black with a small heel mark instead of branding.
Which black sneaker to choose
- LT 03 and LT 01 Premium Nappa Jet Black: the cleanest, easiest-clean black, in our two core silhouettes.
- LT 01 Suede and Nubuck Jet Black: a softer, matt black with more texture.
- LT 01 Platform Jet Black: a thicker sole with more presence.
- RS 03 and RS 01 Jet Black: the sport-leaning runner in all black.
How to wear black sneakers
Black is the more formal end of the sneaker range. It sits cleanly under tailored trousers and dark denim for the office or dinner, and pairs with a T-shirt or knit for everyday. For more combinations, see our business casual edit.
How they fit
Black sneakers fit true to size, in line with the rest of the LT range; more than four in five buyers report a true-to-size fit. If you are between sizes, take the larger one. Each product page carries a fit indicator built from real customer returns.
Frequently asked
Do black sneakers run big or small?
True to size. More than four in five buyers of the core LT range report a true-to-size fit; between sizes, take the larger one.
Which black is easiest to keep clean?
Smooth Premium Nappa is the lowest-maintenance and shows the least wear; suede and nubuck give a softer, matt look but need a protector spray.
Are they comfortable straight away?
Yes. Soft leather uppers and a cushioned build mean there is no break-in period.
Where are they made?
Designed in the Netherlands and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal.
