Material info

Premium Nappa

Buttery soft leather. Premium.

Nappa is a full-grain leather finished for softness. The grain stays intact, the strongest part of the hide, while the surface is kept smooth and supple. Our nappa is tanned primarily by Curtumes Iberia in Alcanena, Portugal, an LWG Gold certified tannery, and every hide is inspected on finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. Good nappa shows in a tight, even grain and a soft temper: it flexes without sharp creasing and needs no breaking in. Soft from the first wear, shaping to your foot over time.

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.

Nubuck Leather

Premium leather with a silky touch.

Nubuck starts as full-grain leather, the strongest part of the hide, then the surface is lightly sanded to a fine, velvety nap. Softer to the touch than smooth leather, more robust than suede. Ours is tanned primarily by Curtumes Iberia in Alcanena, Portugal, an LWG Gold certified tannery, and every hide is inspected on finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. The nap deepens in tone with wear and builds character over time.

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.

Description

The Essence, taken further: fewer panels, less stitching, nothing on the upper that is not holding the shoe together. The same Court sole, because that part was already right. Smooth nappa from an LWG Gold tannery in Portugal, with a memory foam insole and an onSteam® lining inside. The quietest sneaker in the line, as easy under tailored trousers as under denim.

Premium features
  • Handmade in Portugal, in a family-run factory. Designed in the Netherlands.
  • Nappa from an LWG Gold tannery in Alcanena. Smooth enough that light runs across it.
  • Strobel construction. The upper is stitched to a flexible base before the sole goes on.
  • Every finished pair is inspected before it goes in the box.

Collection story

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.

    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!

    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

    Very Disappointing Quality – Not Worth the Price

    I’m extremely disappointed with the quality of these shoes. After wearing them only 3–4 times, they have already started creasing badly at the front, are uncomfortable to wear, and get dirty incredibly easily despite proper care. For shoes at this price point, I expected much better quality and durability. I honestly did not expect them to look worn out after such a short period of use. Unfortunately, the quality does not live up to the price or my expectations at all. I regret this purchase and would not recommend these shoes to anyone looking for comfortable, durable footwear. Definitely not worth the money.

    Reply from ETQ

    We're sorry these didn't meet your expectations. Nappa is a soft full-grain leather, so some creasing at the toe is part of how it wears in, but your shoes shouldn't look worn after a few wears. Please send a photo and your order number to service@etq-amsterdam.com. We'll take a look and find a solution together.

    Stitching failed after only 3 weeks

    Bought these ETQ Amsterdam leather sneakers (size 45) and liked them at first clean look, comfortable. But after just three weeks of normal wear, the stitching started coming apart at the seams and the leather is already creasing more than I'd expect from quality leather. Some wrinkling is normal for soft leather, but stitching failing this early is a manufacturing defect, not wear and tear. Disappointing for the price. I've contacted the seller for a repair/replacement and will update this review based on the outcome.

    Reply from ETQ

    Stitching shouldn't come loose after three weeks, and we'd like to look at this with you. If you haven't heard from us yet, please send a photo and your order number to service@etq-amsterdam.com so we can find a solution together.

    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.

Questions about the LT 01 Court Lite Premium Nappa

How does the LT 01 fit?

True to size: take your usual size. It has a clean, close fit with a standard width and a slightly slimmer toe, which suits most feet, including slightly wider ones. Between sizes? Take the bigger one.

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.

How do I look after nappa leather?

Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wearing and let it dry at room temperature, away from the heater. Use a neutral leather cream every few months to keep it supple. Light marks on white leather come off with a leather cleaner. Skip household cleaners and the washing machine. Nappa is a natural material, so small colour differences between batches are normal.

Will nappa leather crease?

A little, yes. Every leather shoe creases where the foot bends; it is part of how it wears in. Shoe trees and a bit of leather cream keep the creases soft.

How is the Court Lite different from the LT 01 Essence?

The Court Lite is the cleanest shoe we make: fewer panels, less stitching, and nothing on the upper that is not holding the shoe together. It sits on the same Court sole as the LT 01 Essence, with a Strobel construction, so the shoe bends where your foot bends.

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.
