LT 01 Court Lite Nubuck All Black Nubuck Leather
Frequently bought together.
The Essence, taken further. The Court Lite is the cleanest shoe we make: fewer panels, less stitching, nothing on the upper that is not holding the shoe together. Same sole as the Essence, because that part was already right. It is what happens when you keep removing and the shape survives it.

- Handmade in Portugal, in a family-run factory we have worked with for years. Designed in the Netherlands.
- Hand-lasted, then inspected twice before it leaves the factory.
- Between 20 and 40 separate components in every pair, put together by hand.
- A reinforced toe and heel counter inside the shoe, so it still holds its shape after a year of wearing.
- Our own sole, from our own mould, in a rubber blend we specified ourselves: enough give to walk on all day, firm enough to hold its shape.
- Stitched, not glued. The upper is attached to the sole with a seam, so the shoe bends where your foot bends.
- Nubuck from an LWG Gold tannery in Portugal. The nap takes light instead of throwing it back, so it looks better on day two hundred than on day one.
- onSteam® lining moves moisture away from the foot, which is what keeps a leather shoe wearable on a long day.
- A removable memory foam insole that softens to the shape of your foot and holds it there.
- The insole lifts straight out, so you can put in a fresh one or wear your own orthotics. Spare laces are available separately.
- Tonal metal eyelets and nylon laces, so nothing catches the eye before the shape does.
- The ETQ signature square at the heel.
- A reusable travel bag comes in the box, for wherever the shoes go next.
- The white box is the shipping box, so there is no second carton to throw away.
- From the collections Footwear, Trainers and LT 01
Court Lite is where we take the most away. Fewer panels, less stitching, nothing on the upper that is not holding the shoe together, and no detail that survives only because it has always been there. Whatever we make it in, the question stays the same: what else can go? Our cleanest line. Nothing spare.
Shop the look
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.
One box. Nothing wasted.
Every pair ships in a crisp white box built to be the shipping box too — 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.
Endless comfort.
A structured silhouette on the outside. Inside, a memory-foam insole with airflow channels that move moisture with every step. The kind of shoe you forget you're wearing — and keep on long after you meant to.

Made in Europe
Kings of detail we are.
At ETQ we focus on the things even the eye can’t see, to build better. All shoes are designed in Amsterdam and crafted in Portugal. The family-owned atelier works with traditional methods. Together we are masters of precision engineering.
When it comes to materials, our bar is high. No shortcuts. ETQs premium suedes and leathers are smooth like butter and cherry-picked per shoe. Obsessive, yes. But: soon after wearing ETQ you will notice the quality difference.
The full package
Unboxing like never before
Your fresh pair arrives in style. Your shoes come in two all-purpose zip bags made from recycled PET bottles. Use them to store your ETQs, toiletries, pencils, and more. Just like your shoes, these bags are crafted to last.
We've always been fascinated by packaging. We designed it with efficiency and with the environment in mind. The modular packaging consists of long-lasting items created with recycled materials, while the shipping box is repurposed to serve as a shoebox as well.
Endless comfort
Time suits them
Beyond trends and flashy labels. Our style never changes. It evolves. Continuously.
Confident and comfortable, ETQ introduces the etiquette of artisan shoe crafting to today’s sneaker world. We blend traditional cobbler skills with the latest technology for comfort and suppleness. Your feet feel it, every step of the way.
While traditional sneakers are meant for sports, ETQ footwear is made for the city. That is why we use a solid and heavy cupped sole made from reinforced rubber to last in all conditions. Fit so smooth that you’ll want to keep them on. And you can.

Treat yourself to a pair
Very nice. Good quality and they're so comfortable to walk in!
Comfortable
Great shoes, good quality and realy comfortable. I bought 3 pairs in total so far.
Pleasantly soft
Runs great, very comfortable
Replacement of the item
I haven't worn these shoes yet because when they were delivered, I realized it would be better to exchange them for a size larger (from 43 to 44), and I'm waiting for them to be delivered again. Other than that, everything's fine.
Phenomenal shoes
They fit true to size. They're soft, comfortable, and yet very stylish. Perfect for casual summer wear.
very comfortable
Beautiful shoes
Trying on nice shoes is less fun.
Under review and holding up!
Shoes arrived promptly and well packaged. Initial reaction was that they might be on small/narrow size but have become a good fit as worn in. Early days but look good (my wife likes them which is vital) and now very comfortable.
Good product
Perfect shoe
Comfortable, affordable and stylish
New shoes
My first purchase from ETQ. Am very happy so far. High quality product. Comfortable from first wearing. Accurate sizing. Time will tell how well the obvious quality lasts.

How to measure
Let’s find your perfect fit. Place a sheet of paper on the floor against the wall and put your feet (with socks) on it, heels against the wall. Make sure you lean on your feet with full power when measuring. Now you simply draw a line at the end of the biggest foot. Measure the distance with a ruler and find the size that matches it: see size table. Are you in between sizes? In that case, we suggest taking the bigger size.

How to measure
Place a sheet of paper on the floor against a wall. Stand on it with your socks on, heels touching the wall.
Draw a line at the end of your longest toe and measure the distance from the wall using a ruler.
Between sizes?
Choose the larger size. Feet naturally expand throughout the day, so measuring in the evening usually gives the most accurate result.
