Material info

Nubuck / Mesh

Premium leather with soft Mesh.

A breathable upper made from a mix of fine mesh and durable nubuck offers lightness and structure where needed. The interior features ETQ’s signature removable insole, providing the comfort you have grown accustomed to. Every element of this sneaker reflects our commitment to clean design and premium materials.

Premium Nappa

Buttery soft leather. Premium.

Nappa is a full-grain leather finished for softness. The grain stays intact, the strongest part of the hide, while the surface is kept smooth and supple. Our nappa 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. Good nappa shows in a tight, even grain and a soft temper: it flexes without sharp creasing and needs no breaking in. Soft from the first wear, shaping to your foot over time.

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.

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.

    Also great sneakers

    These sneakers are super, just look really cool. And they run great too

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 03 Nubuck / Mesh

How does the LT 03 fit?

True to size: most reviewers say so, and returns for too small and too big are level. Take your usual size; 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 does the mesh change on the LT 03?

The structured panels open into mesh, which drops the weight and lets the shoe breathe. Leather stays where the shoe needs structure, mesh sits where your foot needs air, and an onSteam® lining moves moisture away on long days. It sits on the same City sole as the other LT 03s.

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.
