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

A mid-top sits at the ankle, which is the part of a shoe that changes an outfit most. The MT 02 takes its proportion from the golden era of basketball trainers: clean panels, a firm collar, a shape that stays upright. Full-grain leather from an LWG Gold tannery in Portugal, on our Rugged sole. It marks first, then settles.

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

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.
Care
  • Wipe clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth
  • Condition with leather cream now and then
  • If wet, let dry naturally, away from heat

    Nice shoes

    This is the 2nd pair I`ve purchased and I find the quality to be far above the usual offerings from the high street brands. Love the style and comfort and the sale price helped too!

    Very good sneakers

    Size is good fit, although a little bit larger would be better. Size 43 is then too large. Half size increments should be way forward. Material and quality is very good. Design is good as well. Comfort is difficult to assess as half size up would be optimal.

    High-quality shoes and service

    The shoes are comfortable and really nice. The leather also seems to be very good quality. I had to exchange them because the size was slightly too small, but the customer service went very smoothly.

    A very nice, high-quality sneaker

    This isn’t the first pair of shoes I’ve ordered from ETQ, nor will it be the last. As always, they’re very well made and were delivered quickly. I’m extremely satisfied!

    Very Good

    Ordering, delivery, packaging and overall quality is very good. Having followed the online size guidance would suggest going slightly larger if you require a fit that is slightly wider than normal.

    Very nice shoes

    I had ordered size 45 and were actually a little too small and tight. Now I have through, the very convenient return portal, exchanged the shoes for a size larger. Just waiting for the shoes, but looking forward to it

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 MT 02 Rugged Jet

How does the MT 02 fit?

True to size, on the closer side: take your usual size, and between sizes take the bigger one. The firm collar sits at the ankle and keeps the shape upright through wear.

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 full-grain leather give a little?

Yes, a little. It softens and shapes to your foot as you wear it. It marks along the way, then settles and holds its shape for years: that is how it gains character. The length stays the same, so choose your size on length.

How do I look after full-grain leather?

Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wearing and let it dry at room temperature, away from the heater. Use a neutral leather cream every few months to keep it supple. Skip household cleaners and the washing machine. Full-grain leather is a natural material, so small marks and colour differences between batches are normal.

What is the sole on the MT 02 Rugged?

Our Rugged sole: the Court sole with a rugged layer underneath, with a Strobel construction, so the shoe bends where your foot bends. Above it, clean panels and a firm collar at the ankle, in a proportion taken from classic basketball shoes.

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.
