LT 01 Court Lite Premium Nappa White Premium Nappa
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.
- Nappa leather from an LWG Gold tannery in Alcanena, Portugal. Smooth enough that light runs across it rather than catching.
- 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.
- From the collections Footwear, Sneakers and White 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.

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.

High-Quality Shoes - Made in Europe
While I was looking for high-quality shoes, I stumbled upon ETQ completely by chance. What immediately impressed me was that they’re made in Europe—specifically, at a factory in Portugal. I’m a big fan of products that aren’t made in Asia or similar regions, and I prefer to buy products that are made domestically or in Europe. The quality of the shoes is consistently outstanding. I’ve had every pair in constant use for about a year—and by that I really mean I wear them almost every day. I wear my white basic sneakers almost every day. The shoes are worth the money—even if they seem a bit pricey at first—because they’re made in Portugal, largely by hand, and are very durable. I highly recommend them!
Premium, minimalist, comfort
These trainers are of great quality. I love the minimalist style. They are also very comfortable and seem very well made. Would definitely recommend.
I love these sneakers
Great sneakers and high-quality materials
What I was looking for
I looked at several companies for work trainers and went with ETQ. Funnily enough, I ordered the wrong pair and emailed straight away explaining what I had done. I had a personal response straight away saying I could send them back and exchange, but when I received them, I really liked them and decided to keep the trainers. My second pair of ETQ and will order more
Everything. Just a little pricey.
Comfort and elegance
These are very high-quality leather sneakers; they're extremely comfortable thanks to their flexibility. A basic sneaker that goes great with everything. I'll definitely buy another pair in a different color.
An impeccable experience
Very high-quality sneakers! Ordering was a breeze, and the package arrived quickly!
Very good, quality product
I am really happy with these shoes. Will be getting a second pair soon in different color. One of the "best to walk with" -shoes I have ever had.
They're not bad, but I was expecting more
When I bought them, I thought they were the ultimate leather sneakers, but they’re not all that great. They have a fabric strip on the heel that gets dirty very quickly; the interior is made of comfortable leather; the sole is thicker and more comfortable than I expected; I don’t know why, but they make my feet feel hotter than other sneakers. The leather is good quality, and overall the craftsmanship is very good, but it falls a little short of the level of finish you’d expect for the price.
Perfect
Perfect fit and quality!
Trainers
Fantastic trainers. True to size, perfect fit. The leather is very soft and the quality is very good. Well pleased and will order again
Good fit
My favorite white sneakers. They fit well.
new favourite black trainers
Really lovely quality leather and high quality detailing. Comfortable from the first wearing. This was my first pair from ETQ, but I'll be coming back for more.
Stylish and Comfortable Shoes
I'm thrilled with my new pair of ETQs: great design, lightweight and comfortable—just like slippers
Very nice pair of sneakers
High-quality, comfortable sneakers. Maybe not for summer since they're a bit warm. I recommend them.
Sköna snygga
As soft as butter
These shoes are really comfortable. Even the first time I wore them for an extended period, I didn't get any pressure marks.
Shoes are soft but stable. Leather is really soft.
Excellent minimalist sneaker!
Absolutely love these sneakers! The premium nappa leather feels incredibly soft, the gum sole adds just the right amount of character, and the minimalist design goes with almost everything. Comfortable from day one and finished to an exceptional standard. Easily one of the best sneaker purchases I've made.
Timeless and super comfortable
I am absolutely thrilled with these shoes. They feature a truly timeless design that pairs perfectly with almost any outfit, yet they remain incredibly eye-catching. The quality is top-notch; after months of regular use, they show almost no signs of wear. Most importantly, they provide exceptional comfort and support, allowing me to wear them all day without any discomfort. I highly recommend them!
Great shoes!
Good quality and comfortable
Comfortable and beautiful
When it comes to sneakers, I value comfort above all else, and in that regard, they're a ten. Plus, they look amazing.
TOP Sneakers
Very good quality, nice leather, and a good fit. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.
Super cute and comfortable Snaker
These Snaker shoes are beautifully crafted and very comfortable, thanks to the soft nappa leather. On top of that, the shoes were nicely packaged and came with a travel bag. I'll be buying them in black later on. Shipping is reliable and fast. Everything was great.
Basic white sneakers
Very nice sneakers made of beautiful leather. They even smell nice… I was impressed.
Great confy sneaker
I like as usual the high quality of etq. Perfect production and nice style. Materials are very well executed. I enjoy ☺️.

Great ones
If you're looking for minimalist sneakers with a slim fit and high-quality craftsmanship at a good price, then these are the ones for you. The appearance is magnificent.
Super shoe
The sole is thick enough, slow abrasion, rubber. The leather is strong and soft. The design is simple and easy to combine.
Not bad
Overall, the quality is great and they look good, though a bit too bulky (EU44). The main issue is the leather lining - it’s not very comfortable to wear, especially in the summer
Almost perfect for my feet.
5 Stars because they are the most comfortable non barefoot white sneakers I ever owned. Right from the box! Why almost perfect? Because even if I know that they are not comparable with barefoot sneakers I would love to have toe box which gives a bit more room for the big toe. Then they'd be perfect for me and my feet! I enjoy the quality, feel and essential look of them. This is my pair of white sneakers for special occasions ... and I might get another one for daily use when they're on sale next time ;)
Confort extrême
The best way to wear them is by adding elastic laces (the best compbo)
Sehr gut
Excellent value for money!
Comfortable sneakers that are a pleasure to wear. The leather, like the other materials, is of high quality, and the assembly is meticulous. Bought with a discount, this pair has become a staple in my wardrobe. Note that delivery was fast (a few days). I recommend ETQ!
Lovely sneakers but size up. Cone up small
Great sneakers beautifully made - I ordered size 11 but felt small. Quite narrow
Court Lite Premium
Fast delivery. Perfection parking. Shoes as expected: size and quality
Excellent product, looks very expensive, coupled with amazing service - I will purchase more colours
Great quality and very comfortable
Brilliant shoes I have about seven pairs in different styles 👍🏻

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
