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.
- Between 20 and 40 separate components in every pair, passing through many hands.
- Removable memory foam insole. Softens to your foot.

Material info
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.
Care
- Wipe clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth
- Condition with leather cream now and then
- If wet, let dry naturally, away from heat
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

Comfort and elegance
These are very high-quality leather sneakers; they're extremely comfortable thanks to their flexibility. A basic sneaker that goes great with everything. I'll definitely buy another pair in a different color.

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.
