Frequently bought together.

The HB 01 takes its rugged profile from the hiking boot, laces climbing past the ankle for the same hold you'd want on a trail. That grip carries it into the city. Dressed in ETQ's own finish and refinement. Built for pavement rather than a summit. What started as outdoor gear ends up somewhere far more civilised than the trail it left behind.

True to size. Between sizes, take the bigger one.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • A reinforced toe and heel counter inside the shoe, so it still holds its shape wear after wear.
  • Full-grain leather from an LWG Gold tannery in Alcanena, Portugal. It marks, then settles, and holds its shape for years.
  • A full leather lining that softens with wear and settles to the shape of the foot.
  • Hiker eyelet hooks provide a secure wrap around the ankle, reinforcing the boot’s functional character.
  • A rugged rubber outsole with a deeper tread, for ground that is not flat.
  • 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.
  • 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 Boots and Footwear
Full Grain

Full grain is the top layer of the hide, left intact. Nothing is sanded or buffed away, so the natural grain and the strongest fibres of the leather stay exactly where they are. That makes it the most durable leather finish there is. Our full grain is tanned by Curtumes Iberia in Alcanena, Portugal, an LWG Gold certified tannery, and every hide is inspected on finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. Small variations in grain and colour are natural, and proof the surface is untouched. It starts firm, softens with wear, and builds a patina that deepens over the years.

Care
Brush off dust and wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Condition a few times a year. Naturally more water-resistant than other finishes, but let wet shoes dry naturally, away from heat.

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.
