DS 03 Suede All Black Mediterranean Suede
Frequently bought together.
A deck shoe carries its history on the outside: the moccasin stitch, the low profile, the shape that came off a boat. In suede the whole thing relaxes: softer at the edges, warmer in tone, easy with an open collar. Made for summer evenings and the parts of spring that pretend to be summer.
Fits true to size.

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.

Shoes
I've been a fan of ETQ since day one. The shoes fit like a glove.
Top
The top just takes an extremely long time for the leather to stop creaking
Complete
I was hesitant to order the shoes online, but there are good tools available to help you order the right size. The shoes themselves fit great—I danced all day at a wedding and didn't have any sore feet; the sole is great. The fabric and design are high quality. Highly recommended :).
Shoes was exceptional but a replacement issue
The shoes are incredibly comfortable and of excellent quality. However, the delivery process was disorganized and error-prone. After I had to return them for a different size, it took about a month before I finally received the replacement. That simply isn’t good enough.
Good shoe
Nice shoe and nice leather
Great product
Amazing product and good quality. Just Watch ourdir their size guide that is not accurate. Also i had to return it and the logistic company at First sent me an invalid label. Arter two e-mails they solved the problem.
DS03 - Great pair of shoes!
Lovely shoes which are great for casual outfits but can easily be dressed up for more things as required. Perfect for work trips!
Beautiful modern shoe
A beautiful, minimalist take on the classic boat shoe with a comfortable sole.
Nice shoes, run small, no returns
The shoes come in very elegant packaging and look high-quality. Unfortunately, I had trouble with the return because the 14-day return period was calculated from the date the package was dropped off at the post office in the Netherlands. I contacted customer support but haven't received a response yet.
DS 03 All Chocolate
Size corresponds to expectation. Comfortable and fitting thanks to the laces.
Suede All Chocolate. Amazing Quiet luxury
Shoes feel amazing on the feet. Quality is superb for this price.

Size down
I would recommend sizing down one size.
Comfortable
So soft and comfortable with style
Great look and feel, but be mindful of the size.
The quality, the look, awesome. The sizing on the other hand, is totally not as described. The built in calculator told me to get 46 (I have wide feet and usually have a 45), but when I got them they were massive. Returned them for a 44, but even this still feels big. With an extra sole and some padding I was able to fix it, but I’m afraid I won’t wear them as much because of this.

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.
ETQ Footwear — Size Guide

Measure your foot length and compare it with the chart below. Between sizes? Choose the larger 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.
