Material info

Mediterranean Suede

Ultra soft suede.

Suede is cut from the underside of the hide and sanded to a fine, velvety nap. Ours is true to its name: tanned on the Mediterranean by Gruppo Mastrotto in Arzignano, Italy, an LWG Gold certified tannery, and Sanchez Agullo in Alicante, Spain, LWG approved. Every hide is inspected on finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. Quality shows in the nap: short, dense and even, with deep, uniform colour that gains character over time.

Full Grain Leather

Constantly improved premium leather.

Full grain is the top layer of the hide, left intact. Nothing is sanded or buffed away, so the natural grain and the strongest fibres of the leather stay exactly where they are. That makes it the most durable leather finish there is. Our full grain is tanned by Curtumes Iberia in Alcanena, Portugal, an LWG Gold certified tannery, and every hide is inspected on finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. Small variations in grain and colour are natural, and proof the surface is untouched. It starts firm, softens with wear, and builds a patina that deepens over the years.

Foot length is the actual measured foot. The MC 01, DS 01, and CB 01 are built on a slightly longer last, so the shoe includes additional internal space for comfort, shape, and elegance.

Measure your foot

  1. Put a sheet of paper against a wall. Stand on it in socks, with your heel against the wall.
  2. Mark the tip of your longest toe.
  3. Measure from the wall to the mark and find that length in the table.

Measure at the end of the day, when your feet are at their largest.

Description

A Chelsea boot has nowhere to hide. In suede the slim last reads softer, and the welted commando sole keeps it from tipping into dress boot. For days that do not end where they started. Mediterranean suede, soft from the first wear, with a memory foam insole inside. Wear it with dark denim or wool trousers.

    Very good Chelsea boot

    I've owned a few pairs of Chelsea boots, but these fit really great. Thanks to the rough texture on the sole, they're perfect for walking in the snow.

    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!

    Extremely Disappointing Quality

    These shoes have completely wrecked my feet, causing painful blisters. On top of that, they have constantly left permanent brown stains on every socks that won’t wash out. I am extremely disappointed with both the quality and comfort of these shoes.

    Shoes sold as new arrived used and damaged. Customer service was slow and exhausting. Brand looks good but for me, a bad first experience.

    High quality but way to stiff in the back

    I love the design and overall quality however the inner back of the shoe is super stiff so I always have pain wearing them

Handmade in Portugal.

Cut from premium nappa, full grain and suede, then built on the last by makers who do little else. It takes years to master a shoe. We’re still finding ways to make it better.

See how it's made

One box. Nothing wasted.

Order one pair and it ships in the white box, no second carton, nothing thrown away. Inside, a reusable ETQ travel bag for wherever they go next. A detail you notice after you buy, not just before.

Questions about the CB 01 Rugged Suede All

How does the CB 01 fit?

A close fit around the foot and ankle. Take your usual size, or go one size up if you are between sizes or like thicker socks. The boot softens and shapes to your foot as you wear it.

Do you have half sizes?

No, we only make whole sizes. Between two sizes? Take the bigger one: you can fill a little space, but you can't add length. A slightly thicker insole or thicker socks take up the extra room, and the insole lifts out, so swapping it takes seconds.

Will the suede give a little?

Yes. Suede softens from the first wear and moulds to your foot within about a week. The length stays the same, so choose your size on length; the width gives a little as the suede settles.

How do I look after suede?

Protect it with a suede spray before you first wear it, and again every few weeks. Brush it dry with a suede brush, along the nap, to lift dust and bring the colour back. Caught in the rain? Stuff the shoes with paper, let them dry slowly at room temperature, away from the heater, then brush. A suede eraser takes care of most marks. Suede is a natural material, so small colour differences between batches are normal.

How is the CB 01 built?

It is welted: the sole is stitched to the upper along a strip of leather instead of glued to it. That is the slower way to build a boot, and it holds together far longer than a bonded sole. The commando sole underneath keeps the slim shape from looking delicate.

Can I take the insole out?

Yes. The insole lifts out, so you can fit a fresh one or your own orthotics.

How do returns work if it doesn't fit?

Open our return portal and choose your new size: it ships as soon as your return is on its way, and you don't need to place a new order. Prefer a different colour or model? Choose store credit and order again, or choose a refund. Costs per country are on our returns page.

Is there a warranty on my ETQ product?

Yes, manufacturing defects are covered by the statutory warranty. Something not right? Send us a photo and your order number and we’ll find a solution together. Normal wear and damage from use are not covered.

Do you have a store?

We don't have our own store: ETQ is online only. You order here and try everything on at home. If it isn't right, you can exchange or return it through our return portal.

Something not right? Tell us.

We’ll sort it out with you. And it goes back to the studio, so the next version is better.
