The style that started it all. Never changed, constantly improved. A reinterpretation of a classic tennis sneaker. Our crisp white colorway is a real wardrobe essential. Simple aesthetics and complex innovations to ensure nothing but comfort. Every single time.
Full grain leather is naturally firmer and more durable as it is produced by retaining the top layer of the hide. Its appearance is natural, authentic, and robust. You are still able to see the grains. It looks just like the grains on your skin. We never sanded, buffed, or snuffed it, so this leather is super strong.
ETQ fits true to size. Not sure about yours? Check our measurement guide or a .

Crafted from the finest materials, each piece is designed to give you a sense of quiet confidence, defined by timeless design and refined detail.

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.

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.
