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.

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!

Great Shoe
The shoe has a perfect fit; it's a little wider in the toe box but comfortable.

My first loafers and I dont regret it
They fit true to size for me, especially if you have a slightly wider foot. They are especially very comfortable and look great in person also.
Suede footwear for men
Suede is the signature feel of the brand. We use Mediterranean Suede, sanded for a soft, matt hand, across more of our range than any other material: trainers, loafers, boots and sandals. Designed in the Netherlands and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal. If you have felt an ETQ shoe and remembered the texture, this is usually why.
What comes in suede
- Loafers: the LS 01 and the wider loafer line, the heart of our suede range.
- Trainers: the LT 01 and LT 03 in tonal suede colourways.
- Boots: the CB 01 Chelsea and the DB 01 desert boot.
- Sandals: warm-weather sliders in the same suede.
How to wear suede
Suede leans relaxed and tonal: it sits naturally with chinos, knitwear and earth tones, and softens tailored trousers for a less formal look. The tonal shades are the easiest everyday choice; darker shades dress up. See our business casual edit.
Caring for suede
Suede is easier to live with than people expect. Apply a protector spray before first wear and brush now and then; once protected it handles light rain, though it is not built for heavy wet weather. Pale shades pick up marks with wear, which brush out.
Frequently asked
Is suede hard to look after?
No, with a little routine. Protect it before first wear, brush occasionally, and avoid heavy rain. See our care guide for the full steps.
What is the difference between suede and nubuck?
Suede is sanded from the inside of the hide for a soft, matt nap; nubuck is buffed from the outer grain, so it is firmer and more structured.
Does suede footwear fit the same as the rest?
Yes. Most pieces fit true to size; slip-ons sit close at first, then soften and settle to your foot. Between sizes, take the larger one.
Where is it made?
Designed in the Netherlands and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal.
