This is the length of your foot, not of the shoe. The shoe is a little longer, so your toes have room.

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

Made for wide trousers and long days. The LT 02 upper on a platform sole: the panel work and the tonal suede at heel and toe stay exactly as they are, while the sole lifts the whole shape and lengthens the line through the leg. More height, same shoe. An EVA outsole keeps it from feeling heavy, and the mesh lining lets heat out.
Premium features
  • An EVA outsole, which is what keeps a sole this thick from feeling heavy.
  • Tonal suede at the toe and heel.
  • Handmade in Portugal, in a family-run factory. Designed in the Netherlands.
  • Nubuck from an LWG Gold tannery in Portugal. It takes in light instead of reflecting it.
  • 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.
Show all 13 features
  • Between 20 and 40 separate components in every pair, passing through many hands.
  • Mesh lining that lets heat out. Keeps a light shoe wearable through summer.
  • Reinforced toe and heel counter. Holds its shape wear after wear.
  • Tonal metal eyelets and nylon laces. Nothing catches the eye before the shape.
  • The ETQ signature square at the heel.
  • A reusable travel bag comes in the box, for wherever the shoes go next.
  • Order one pair and the white box is the shipping box. No second carton to throw away.
Size & fit

ETQ low tops have a clean, close fit with a standard width and a slightly slimmer toe. Most people take their usual size, and the shape suits most feet, including slightly wider ones.

Material info

Nubuck starts as full-grain leather, the strongest part of the hide, then the surface is lightly sanded to a fine, velvety nap. Softer to the touch than smooth leather, more robust than suede. Ours is tanned primarily by Curtumes Iberia in Alcanena, Portugal, an LWG Gold certified tannery, and every hide is inspected on finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. The nap deepens in tone with wear and builds 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

    Good style but

    Super stylish but lacks ventilation. Feet don't breathe in them. Ventilation under the soles would be a plus!

    comfy, stylish. very minimal (maybe the white square on the rear is a bit too minimal, could have been smth with more character). perfect

    Great

    The shoes fit great. The footbed is wonderful and the shoe sits well and firmly. They also run great and you barely have to run them in.

    Complaint not taken up

    Despite my previous emails, to date I have received no response from you to my complaint about the damaged shoe. At your request, I sent pictures, but I have not yet received any feedback on them. I am therefore wondering why pictures are requested when there is subsequently no response. I find that frankly disappointing. I would still like to receive a substantive response and an appropriate solution. In the absence of a response, I will consider further action. I trust this will not be necessary and will hear from you soon.

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 LT 02 Platform Nubuck

How does the LT 02 fit?

On the small side: take your usual size. It has a clean, close fit with a standard width and a slightly slimmer toe, which suits most feet, including slightly wider ones. Between sizes? Take the bigger one.

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 nubuck give a little?

Yes, a little. Nubuck softens and shapes to your foot as you wear it. The length stays the same, so choose your size on length. Its soft surface takes in light instead of reflecting it, so it looks better on day two hundred than on day one.

How do I look after nubuck?

Protect it with a nubuck spray before your first wear, and again every few weeks. Brush it dry with a nubuck brush to lift dust and bring the colour back; a nubuck eraser takes care of most marks. Skip wax, cream and wet cloths. Caught in the rain? Stuff the shoes with paper, dry them slowly at room temperature, away from the heater, then brush. Nubuck is a natural material, so small colour differences between batches are normal.

What is the sole on the LT 02 Platform?

A platform sole with an EVA outsole, which keeps it from feeling heavy. The LT 02 panel work and the tonal suede at the toe and heel stay as they are, while the platform lifts the whole shape and lengthens the line through the leg.

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.

  • We’re here for you

    Something not quite as you hoped? We’ll look at it together.

  • Between two sizes

    Tell us what you normally wear and we’ll give you our honest advice.
