Top quality
I’ve actually been wearing Chelsea boots for years, but so far these ones from ETQ are the best in terms of quality and design. I’m going to buy the brown pair too. Highly recommended!

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, need some time to break in
The shoes look great, and have good fit. I have a big blister on my left heel, because these shoes, like most boots, need some time to break in

Nice, neat shoes
Great shoes—they're comfortable and work well both at the office and in more casual settings. They do need to be broken in properly, but after that, they're very comfortable to walk in. I highly recommend them!

Cool Chelsea boots
Beautiful leather Chelsea boots. Thanks to the material and sole, they're also suitable for fall and winter weather.
Boots
Boots, the ETQ way: clean silhouettes in Mediterranean suede and full grain leather, on a rugged rubber sole and the same considered last as our sneakers. Designed in the Netherlands and handmade in Felgueiras, Portugal, in a family-owned atelier. Two silhouettes today, the Chelsea and the desert boot, with more over time.
The boot range
- CB 01 Chelsea boot: a clean pull-on Chelsea with elastic side panels, in Mediterranean suede or full grain leather, on a rugged rubber outsole. The suede leans relaxed; full grain reads a touch more formal.
- DB 01 desert boot: a mid-cut lace-up desert boot in soft suede, lighter and easier, made to wear straight out of the box.
How to wear them
A boot is the easy way to take a warm-weather wardrobe into autumn and winter. Wear the Chelsea with tailored trousers or denim and a knit; the desert boot sits well with chinos and an overshirt. Keep the palette tonal and let the boot ground the outfit.
Construction and details
- Designed in the Netherlands, handmade in Felgueiras, Portugal, in a family-owned atelier with roots going back to 1935.
- Mediterranean suede and full grain leather uppers, from LWG certified tanneries in Italy, Spain and Portugal.
- Rugged rubber outsole with strong grip.
- The same considered last and cushioning as our court sneakers.
- Hand-lasted, and inspected twice before boxing.
How they fit
Our boots sit a little closer to the foot than our sneakers, and the Chelsea in particular runs slightly small. If you are between sizes or wear thicker socks, take the next size up. ETQ is sold in full EU sizes, so there are no half sizes; the fit indicator on each product page is built from real customer returns.
Care
Treat suede with a protector spray before first wear and re-apply now and then; once protected it handles light rain, though our leathers are not built for heavy wet weather. Full grain develops a patina with wear rather than looking worn. See our shoe care range and care guide.
Frequently asked
What boots does ETQ make?

Do ETQ boots run big or small?

ETQ is sold in full EU sizes, so there are no half sizes; the fit indicator on each product page, built from real returns, tells you which size to take.
Chelsea or desert boots?
The Chelsea pulls on with elastic sides and reads a touch more dressed; the desert boot laces up, sits mid-cut and feels softer and more casual. Both run on the same clean ETQ last.
Are they made for wet weather?
Treat suede with a protector and they handle light rain, but our leathers are not built for heavy or prolonged wet weather.
Where are ETQ boots made?
