LT 02 Rugged All Black Full Grain
Frequently bought together.
Two soles instead of one. A second mould sits beneath the first, and that extra layer is where the LT 02 gets its character: rugged underfoot, sturdier in the shape, built for weather that does not cooperate. The upper stays as clean as everything else we make. The strength sits underneath 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.
- Full-grain leather from an LWG Gold tannery in Alcanena, Portugal. It marks, then settles, and holds its shape for years.
- Tonal suede at the toe and heel.
- 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.
- Signed with our 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.

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.

Nice shoe
One size smaller
Nice sneakers …let's see how they hold up quality-wise
As always, I love the design, but lately I've had some quality issues with a few pairs. I hope that's been fixed.
The ultimate versatile sneaker—unmatched comfort, premium durability, and sleek NYC style
The ultimate versatile sneaker—unmatched comfort, premium durability, and sleek NYC style. I absolutely love the LT 02 sneakers. Right out of the box, the quality is immediately apparent. The leather is incredibly soft, supple, and offers zero break-in stiffness, yet you can feel the substantial, high-quality craftsmanship and solid construction. These aren't just fashion sneakers; they are clearly built to last and give me rugged durability for years to come. My lifestyle demands a lot from my footwear. Working in New York City as an exercise physiologist, my daily schedule is a nonstop gauntlet that requires total versatility. On any given day, I need a shoe that looks sharp and sophisticated enough to maintain a business-casual professional standard in a clinical setting, holds up to the physical demands of demonstrating complex movements and exercises for patients, and can immediately pivot into the gym for heavy, intense workouts. These shoes handle the entire spectrum effortlessly, providing incredible support and comfort without sacrificing an ounce of style. They hit the exact sweet spot of being sleek, minimal, and subtly high-end without being loud. The aesthetic definitely turns heads—even in a fast-paced place like New York City where everyone has seen everything, I constantly have colleagues, patients, and strangers on the street stopping to ask what these shoes are and where they can track down a pair for themselves. They are the absolute perfect, no-compromise sneaker for a demanding, highly active lifestyle.
Great product !

Nice shoe, minor damage
Scratches here and there on the shoe.
I’ m happy !
It’s a very good qualité ; I’ m happy for my first shoes ETQ …
Timeless Comfort
These sneakers strike the perfect balance between minimalism and refinement. The design is clean, modern, and truly timeless — exactly what you want from a pair that can fit seamlessly into any wardrobe.
Super sneaker. Good and nice fit. Normally I have sneaker size 38.5EU. But the 39EU of ETQ fits perfectly. Because of this, after the black version, I also bought the white sneaker.
Great looking trainer, smart and comfortable
LT 02 Rugged White - Hugely impressed
Quickly becoming my favourite footwear! From day one they have been incredibly comfortable. They have held their shape really well so still look really crisp and fresh. Great buy!
Mr Aloneftis - ETQ
Initial visual was different to what I expected from advertisement. Birds eye view was not in any visuals. Angled visual looks best. Initial wear seemed uncomfortable, but tightened laces for better fit. Days wear helped. Back heel is still sometimes hard and uncomfortable but only worn them 3 times and usually for 10 hours each wear. Thicker cushioning may help. Front velvet strip should be smaller for a less casual look. Back story around ETQ design and values swayed decision to buy. Hope my feedback is appreciated.
No doubt an amazing shoe!
I seem to be on a sneaker phase, purchasing multiple/select brands for style/design, comfort/fit, materials/manufacturing, history, and overall wear. One of a few that stood out was ETQ and their LT02 rugged certainly stood out in terms of beauty and design! So yes, seeing it in person did not disappoint! The eclectic black suede, full-grain, and rubber, coupled with the shape and style matched and complimented the whole design of the shoe! Beautiful! Super comfortable too, lots of room, and the way the shoelaces were designed allowed for more bespoke fitting. Sadly it did lose a star simply because the shoe made constant "squeaky" sounds when worn. Whether I walk slowly, jog, or simply flex my feet when sat in the office, you get this squeaky sound, like it may need oiling. Part of the joy of sneakers is that they are silent when you walk, and which I get with other luxury sneaker brands. A shame, and it certainly limits where I wear these shoes.
Great shoe, stylish and good quality

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

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.
