Description
A desert boot sits between a shoe and a boot, which is why it works when neither does. Laced close to the ankle, in Mediterranean suede that softens with wear. Enough structure to hold its shape under a coat, enough ease for denim. An onSteam® lining moves moisture away, and our own sole has the give to walk all day.
Premium features
- Handmade in Portugal, in a family-run factory. Designed in the Netherlands.
- Mediterranean suede from LWG certified tanneries. Soft from the first wear.
- Strobel construction. The upper is stitched to a flexible base before the sole goes on.
- Every finished pair is inspected before it goes in the box.
- Between 20 and 40 separate components in every pair, passing through many hands.
- Removable memory foam insole. Softens to your foot.

Size & fit
Material info
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.
Care
- Brush regularly in the direction of the nap
- Protect against water and stains before first wear
- If wet, let dry naturally, away from heat
Removable insole
What our customers say
when wearing it
-
Fit: True to size
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!
-
Fit: True to size
Fit like a glove
They're really comfortable. The sole is nice and soft, too.
-
Fit: True to size
Awesome shoes
The dimensions match the standard size.

Fit: Runs small
Nice, but they run very small
Nice, but they run very small

Fit: True to size
The sneakers look great and feel well-made. However, they’re slightly higher than the styles I usually buy from this brand. Because of that, they rub against my heel, which feels a bit uncomfortable at first. Other than that, I’m happy with the shoes’ appearance and craftsmanship.

Very comfortable and convenient to wear throughout the day

Doubting About the shoesize
Doubting if 46 size would fit better , and maybe buying an extra pair
-
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.

Fit: Runs small
Small size
With every shoe from ETQ I wear size 45, but with these I actually got a half size too small. Unfortunately I only noticed this after a day at work so I can't return them. A waste of money and very strange that these suddenly fell smaller.
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.
