LT 01 Court Lite Gum Suede Cement Grey Mediterranean Suede
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, here in gum, which warms the whole shoe.

- A gum rubber outsole, made in our own mould, that gives the whole shoe a warmer look and wears in rather than out.
- Handmade in Portugal, in a family-run factory we have worked with for years. Designed in the Netherlands.
- Mediterranean suede, tanned at LWG certified tanneries in Italy and Spain. Soft from the first wear, and it takes the shape of your foot within a week.
- Stitched, not glued. The upper is attached to the sole with a seam, so the shoe bends where your foot bends.
- Hand-lasted, then inspected twice before it leaves the factory.
- Between 20 and 40 separate components in every pair, put together by hand.
- A removable memory foam insole that softens to the shape of your foot. Lift it out to fit a fresh one or your own orthotics.
- onSteam® lining moves moisture away from the foot, which is what keeps a leather shoe wearable on a long day.
- A reinforced toe and heel counter inside the shoe, so it still holds its shape wear after wear.
- Tonal metal eyelets and nylon laces, so nothing catches the eye before the shape does. Spare laces are available separately.
- 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 and Sneakers
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.
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.

Outside the EU (except the UK), you don’t pay Dutch VAT: the 21% comes off your order automatically at checkout, as soon as you enter your address or switch country or currency. Import duties and local taxes aren’t included; the carrier collects them on delivery (DDU). We can’t calculate or cover them in advance, so check with your local customs office what to expect.

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.

Chocolate delight
What I love about this show is the build quality, the feel on foot and the style. I have been wearing them 3 days and they already feel broken in. I’d highly recommend.
Great shoes and good service
A beautiful, elegant design
High quality shoes
Comfortable, high quality shoes. Wonderfully plain, no frills, exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately my foot is just too large for size 42 and too small for size 43, giving me a bit too much space in the 43. Half sizes for this popular size range would be perfect.
great
Great shoes basically, but im looking for the grey color once more!
Nice shoes
Shoe seems to have improved over last pairs i bought. The model has changed slightly and the laces are way better. Thanks
Detached sole
The part of the sole that curves up at the front wasn't glued down properly—given the price of the shoes, that's not normal.
Quality product
Popular shoe but finally found a company whose product matches the pictures. Quality product, efficient delivery
As expected
The order was executed flawlessly.
She puts them on and walks off with them just like that
Just slip them on and walk away. I checked the website beforehand to see what size I should order based on the length of my feet, and once they arrived, I could walk away in them right away without any blisters or sore feet.
The only sneaker brand for me
For over 6 years now, I've been wearing only ETQ sneakers—nothing else. Quality and design: 10/10.
Awesome sneakers
This is already my third order. Always great!
Nice

Arrived too late
Even Customer Service promised it would arrive on time, but it didn’t. Maybe as I was ordering from Uk and it was overlooked. I won’t be using them again.

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
All measurements in centimetres.
Measure your foot length and compare it with the chart below. Between sizes? Choose the larger size.

Foot length is the actual measured foot. Shoe construction includes extra internal space for comfort and natural movement.
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.
