CB 01 Rugged Chocolate Full Grain Leather
Frequently bought together.
A Chelsea boot has nowhere to hide. No laces, no hardware, so the silhouette carries it or it does not. This one runs slim through the last and then sits on a welted commando sole, which is the part that stops it looking delicate. Leather that scuffs into something better than it started.
- Handmade in Portugal, in a family-run factory we have worked with for years. Designed in the Netherlands.
- Full-grain leather from an LWG Gold tannery in Alcanena, Portugal. It marks, then settles, and holds its shape for years.
- Welted construction: the sole is stitched to the upper along a strip of leather instead of glued to it. It is the slower way to build a shoe, and it holds together far longer than a bonded sole.
- 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.
- A reinforced toe and heel counter inside the shoe, so it still holds its shape wear after wear.
- 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 Chelsea Boots

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.

Ordering from outside the EU?
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.

Stylish and Comfortable
These boots look great. Can be dressed up or down and are very comfortable.
sturdy and elegant
Still waiting for a senior team member
Still waiting for a senior team member to review my case apparently I'd hear from them in 24 hours that was 2 weeks ago daily emails with useless replies about senior members
Poor service & shoe
The ETQ ankle boots arrived in poor condition. The damage is clearly due to a quality defect and not to use. This is absolutely disappointing for a product in this price range. Even more annoying was the way customer service dealt with the problem: Instead of acknowledging the obvious defect, I was blamed. Customer service was uncooperative and not very solution-oriented.

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.
Dressed Footwear — Size Guide
All measurements in centimetres.
Measure your foot length and compare it with the chart below. Between sizes? Choose the larger size.
| EU | US | UK | Foot length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 39 | 6 | 5 | 25.1 – 25.6 cm |
| 40 | 7 | 6 | 25.7 – 26.2 cm |
| 41 | 8 | 7 | 26.3 – 26.6 cm |
| 42 | 9 | 8 | 26.7 – 27.6 cm |
| 43 | 10 | 9 | 27.7 – 28.2 cm |
| 44 | 11 | 10 | 28.3 – 28.9 cm |
| 45 | 12 | 11 | 29.0 – 29.6 cm |
| 46 | 12 | 11 | 29.7 – 30.2 cm |
| 47 | 13 | 12 | 30.3 – 30.9 cm |
Foot length is the actual measured foot. The MC 01, DS 01, and CB 01 are built on a slightly longer last, so the shoe includes additional internal space for comfort, shape, and elegance.
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.
