Stylish and comfortable sneakers
I'm really happy with these sneakers. They can be worn for both dressy and casual occasions. The color goes with just about everything. But most importantly: the sole is super comfortable!

I love this shoe brand! The only thing that could be improved is the delivery date selection! My order is delivered to my work address outside of office hours! The options are limited...

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!

Sized up and fit was then perfect, so comfortable even without socks
Suede footwear for men
Suede is the signature feel of the brand. We use Mediterranean Suede, sanded for a soft, matt hand, across more of our range than any other material: sneakers, loafers, boots and sandals. Designed in the Netherlands and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal. If you have felt an ETQ shoe and remembered the texture, this is usually why.
What comes in suede
- Loafers: the LS 01 and the wider loafer line, the heart of our suede range.
- Sneakers: the LT 01 and LT 03 in tonal suede colourways.
- Boots: the CB 01 Chelsea and the DB 01 desert boot.
- Sandals: warm-weather slides in the same suede.
How to wear suede
Suede leans relaxed and tonal: it sits naturally with chinos, knitwear and earth tones, and softens tailored trousers for a less formal look. The tonal shades are the easiest everyday choice; darker shades dress up. See our business casual edit.
Caring for suede
Suede is easier to live with than people expect. Apply a protector spray before first wear and brush now and then; once protected it handles light rain, though it is not built for heavy wet weather. Pale shades pick up marks with wear, which brush out.
Frequently asked
Is suede hard to look after?
No, with a little routine. Protect it before first wear, brush occasionally, and avoid heavy rain. See our care guide for the full steps.
What is the difference between suede and nubuck?
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 and more structured.
Does suede footwear fit the same as the rest?
Yes. Most pieces fit true to size; slip-ons sit close at first, then soften and settle to your foot. Between sizes, take the larger one.
Where is it made?
Designed in the Netherlands and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal.
