My first loafers and I dont regret it
They fit true to size for me, especially if you have a slightly wider foot. They are especially very comfortable and look great in person also.

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.

Shoe Shade Review
Brilliant shoe—stylish, compact, comfortable
Designed in the Netherlands, for the dress code with no rules.
The hardest dress code to get right is the one with no rules. This edit brings together the ETQ footwear and clothing that does business casual best: clean shoes that read smart under tailoring and relaxed with denim, and the tailored-but-easy pieces that go with them. Built around tonal colours and quiet finishing, so everything works together and nothing tries too hard.
Across more than 500 verified reviews ETQ holds 4.6 out of 5, and comfort is the word that recurs most after quality, which is exactly what a full working day asks of business casual. Part of a community of more than 250,000 customers.
The shoes
- LS 01 Suede loafer: the smart-casual anchor, in a range of tonal shades.
- LT 03 Premium Nappa and LT 01 Essence: clean leather white and black sneakers that hold up under a trouser.
- LT 01 Shades Nubuck: tonal nubuck sneakers in a range of shades.
- DB 01 desert boot: the suede lace-up for cooler days. All footwear made in Portugal.
The clothing
- Cotton Silk knit polos: the PO 04 Tailored, smart enough to carry an outfit on their own.
- Essence Chino and Essence trouser: Cotton Twill and Traveller Weave, clean and easy to wear.
- Merino knit and the Essence overshirt: the layers that finish it.
How to put it together
Start from the shoe and build up. A suede loafer or clean leather sneaker with an Essence chino or trouser and a tailored polo or fine merino knit is the core business-casual outfit. Layer an Essence overshirt over the top, and swap the polo for a heavyweight tee and the chino for denim when the day relaxes.
Why it works
Everything here is tonal and clean, so it mixes without effort, and it's built to be comfortable through a full day. Our shoes use cushioned footbeds and soft leathers, so smart doesn't mean stiff. It's the wardrobe most of our customers actually live in.
Frequently asked about business casual
What shoes work best for business casual?
A clean suede loafer or a minimal leather sneaker. Both read smart with tailoring and relaxed with denim, so one pair covers most occasions.
Can I wear sneakers for business casual?
Yes, if they're clean and unbranded. The LT 01 and LT 03 in clean white or black leather are made to sit under a trouser without looking sporty.
How do I build a business-casual outfit?
Start with the shoe, add an Essence chino or trouser and a tailored polo or fine knit, and layer an overshirt over the top.
Where is it made?
Footwear is made in Portugal; the clothing is designed in our Dutch studio and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal, Turkey or China, chosen per piece.
