Material info

Mediterranean Suede

Ultra soft suede.

Suede is cut from the underside of the hide and sanded to a fine, velvety nap. Ours is true to its name: tanned on the Mediterranean by Gruppo Mastrotto in Arzignano, Italy, an LWG Gold certified tannery, and Sanchez Agullo in Alicante, Spain, LWG approved. Every hide is inspected on finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. Quality shows in the nap: short, dense and even, with deep, uniform colour that gains character over time.

Full Grain Leather

Constantly improved premium leather.

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.

This is the length of your foot, not of the shoe. The shoe is a little longer, so your toes have room.

Measure your foot

  1. Put a sheet of paper against a wall. Stand on it in socks, with your heel against the wall.
  2. Mark the tip of your longest toe.
  3. Measure from the wall to the mark and find that length in the table.

Measure at the end of the day, when your feet are at their largest.

Shipping & Delivery

Order before 23:59 and we ship your order the same working day.

Prefer to collect your order? Choose a pick-up point near you at checkout.

Good to know

  • We ship on working days. On New Year’s Day, King’s Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, we take a day off.
  • Delivery times are a guide. Very occasionally it takes a day longer, for example while your payment is still being processed.
  • We don’t deliver to PO boxes.

Insured in transit

Your order is insured until it reaches you. Sometimes we ask for a signature on delivery; from then on, the parcel is your responsibility. If someone else signs for you, their signature counts as proof of delivery.

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.

Questions about shipping? Our customer service is happy to help.

  • Send your items back clean and unworn, with their tags and packaging. That way we can process them quickly.
  • Underwear can only be returned with the seal intact.
  • Returning more than one item? We charge a €2 handling fee for each extra item.

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.

See how it's made

One box. Nothing wasted.

Order one pair and it ships in the white box, 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.

Questions about the LB 01 Suede

How does the LB 01 fit?

True to size: take your usual size; between sizes, take the bigger one. The full leather lining softens with wear and settles to the shape of your foot.

Do you have half sizes?

No, we only make whole sizes. Between two sizes? Take the bigger one: you can fill a little space, but you can't add length. A slightly thicker insole or thicker socks take up the extra room, and the insole lifts out, so swapping it takes seconds.

Will the suede give a little?

Yes. Suede softens from the first wear and moulds to your foot within about a week. The length stays the same, so choose your size on length; the width gives a little as the suede settles.

How do I look after suede?

Protect it with a suede spray before you first wear it, and again every few weeks. Brush it dry with a suede brush, along the nap, to lift dust and bring the colour back. Caught in the rain? Stuff the shoes with paper, let them dry slowly at room temperature, away from the heater, then brush. A suede eraser takes care of most marks. Suede is a natural material, so small colour differences between batches are normal.

Can I take the insole out?

Yes. The insole lifts out, so you can fit a fresh one or your own orthotics.

How do returns work if it doesn't fit?

Open our return portal and choose your new size: it ships as soon as your return is on its way, and you don't need to place a new order. Prefer a different colour or model? Choose store credit and order again, or choose a refund. Costs per country are on our returns page.

Is there a warranty on my ETQ product?

Yes, manufacturing defects are covered by the statutory warranty. Something not right? Send us a photo and your order number and we’ll find a solution together. Normal wear and damage from use are not covered.

Do you have a store?

We don't have our own store: ETQ is online only. You order here and try everything on at home. If it isn't right, you can exchange or return it through our return portal.

Something not right? Tell us.

We’ll sort it out with you. And it goes back to the studio, so the next version is better.

  • We’re here for you

    Something not quite as you hoped? We’ll look at it together.

    Tell us what you normally wear and we’ll give you our honest advice.
