Very Good
Ordering, delivery, packaging and overall quality is very good. Having followed the online size guidance would suggest going slightly larger if you require a fit that is slightly wider than normal.

So much to like
A really good looking trainer, great colour and works well with many options - shorts, trousers, jeans. Definitely in that smart casual category. Only small issue is fit...having used the online size guidance and having gone with the suggestion the fit is a little tight....should have gone up once size.

Top-Quality
I’m really happy with my ETQ sneakers. They’re well made, the materials feel premium, and they’re built to last. They’re also very comfortable, even after a long day on my feet. Highly recommended!

Nubuck footwear for men
Nubuck is suede's firmer, more structured cousin: top-grain leather buffed on the outer surface to a fine, soft nap. It holds its shape better than suede and takes colour with more depth, which is why we use it for tonal sneakers and selected boots. Designed in the Netherlands and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal.
What comes in nubuck
- Sneakers: the LT 01 Shades in a range of tonal nubuck shades.
- Boots and selected styles: where a firmer nap suits a more structured shape.
How to wear nubuck
The deeper tonal colours sit well with chinos, denim and knitwear, and read a touch more refined than open suede. The deeper tonal shades are the most versatile everyday choice.
Caring for nubuck
Treat it like suede: a protector spray before first wear, an occasional brush, and light rain only once protected. It resists scuffing slightly better than suede thanks to the firmer grain.
Frequently asked
What is the difference between nubuck and suede?
Suede is sanded from the inside of the hide for a soft, matt nap; nubuck is buffed from the outer grain, so it is firmer, more structured and slightly more durable.
How do I care for nubuck?
Protect it before first wear and brush occasionally, and avoid heavy rain. See our care guide for the full steps.
Does it run true to size?
Yes, in line with the rest of the sneaker range. Between sizes, take the larger one.
Where is it made?
Designed in the Netherlands and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal.
