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 very nice, high-quality sneaker
This isn’t the first pair of shoes I’ve ordered from ETQ, nor will it be the last. As always, they’re very well made and were delivered quickly. I’m extremely satisfied!

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

High quality; I want to buy a smaller size
I've been wearing only the LT 01 for years. They've always fit me perfectly. I decided to try something different this time. Once again, excellent quality, though I had to go one size smaller.

Excellent design and high-quality leather
I'd been looking for this style of crossed sandals for a long time. They're very comfortable, yet elegant and delicate. I really liked that ETQ got the sizing recommendation just right. Made in Portugal with a Nordic design. Top-notch.
Full grain leather footwear for men
Full grain is the most durable leather we use: the top layer of the hide, left intact rather than sanded, so it keeps its natural grain and strength. It is the choice when you want a shoe that ages well and develops a patina, used across boots, deck shoes, rugged sneakers and selected sandals. Designed in the Netherlands and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal.
What comes in full grain
- Sneakers: the LT 02 Rugged and LT 01 Essence, with more structure than Nappa.
- Boots: the CB 01 Rugged Full Grain, the most hard-wearing build.
- Deck shoes and selected sandals.
How to wear it
Full grain reads slightly more rugged and dressed than our softer leathers, so it pairs naturally with denim, trousers and jackets through autumn and winter. It is the most weather-ready leather in the range.
Caring for full grain
Low-maintenance by nature. Wipe clean, condition occasionally, and let it develop a patina; it handles the elements better than our suede and nubuck, though no leather is built for prolonged soaking.
Frequently asked
Is full grain leather durable?
Yes, it is the strongest leather we use, as the top grain is left intact. It develops character rather than looking worn.
How is it different from Premium Nappa?
Premium Nappa is softer and finer for an everyday sneaker feel; full grain is firmer, more durable and more weather-ready.
How do I care for it?
Wipe clean and condition now and then. See our care guide for the full steps.
Where is it made?
Designed in the Netherlands and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal.
