RS 03 Jet Black Suede / Nubuck / Mesh
Frequently bought together.
The RS 03 is the runner with weight put back in. A broader stance, a heavier sole, more shoe under the foot: a proportion that holds up against a wide trouser and a heavy coat. It has presence standing still, and it keeps it through years of wear.
- A two-tone runner sole with a broader stance, which is where the grip and the presence come from.
- Mesh panels for air, layered leather for structure, so the shape holds while the shoe stays light.
- 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.
- A removable memory foam insole that softens to the shape of your foot. Lift it out to fit a fresh one or your own orthotics.
- A mesh lining that lets heat out, which is what makes a light shoe wearable through summer.
- 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.

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.

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.

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.

Clean design, excellent quality, worth every euro
I’ve been wearing my ETQ shoes for a few weeks now and I’m really happy with them. It feels premium right out of the box and the stitching is clean and precise. You can tell they’re well made.
New trainers!
Really happy with my trainers from ETQ Amsterdam. The quality is excellent and the service was fantastic. I’ve bought a few other items from them as well and have always been impressed with the quality. It’s great to find a brand that consistently delivers. Would definitely recommend!
Top
Beautiful, high-quality shoe; good sizing
A stylish sneaker suitable for various occasions. The fit runs slightly on the roomy side, so I recommend going down half a size if possible.
Very comfortable
It was EU 47 and it fit me small
I wish ETQ sold bigger sizes, like EU 48. Confort looked great, though.
Beautiful design
This sneaker has a nice design. The color isn't the same in real life as it is in the photo. The actual color is different from the sole—it's more of a grayish taupe. It's different, but still very nice@
Runners
Found them to be over sized have to tighten the laces too tight for them to feel comfortable but now they lost the look of being in proportion shame as they are a good looking trainer
Stylish and high-quality
Very satisfied! Finally, a brand that fits well, looks great, and is comfortable to wear

A stylish, well-made, and comfortable shoe

Top-notch—clean, neat, and sporty! Choose your usual size and walk on clouds
Clean and stylish
It looks gorgeous and feels great to run in. Personally, I think this sole is much nicer than the other running shoes.
Very good quality
Product is realy good quality, Inonly removed 1 star because the shoes are massive versus classic runners
Nice sneakers
Nice sneakers, run large. Good customer service.
Smart trainers
These trainers based on a running design they are the perfect colour for wearing with shorts,jeans , and a modern suit. Thera are not enough trainers around now with a dark sole.
Runners
I bought the running shoes; they run a little big, but that's actually nice. The heel feels a little stiffer than what I'm used to with your shoes. I'm used to your shoes being super comfortable.
Great shoes
As usual ETQ delivers great products. The shoes are comfy and well made. Definitely worth it
Amazing minimalism
Don't need to make a deep check of these pair of sneakers! They show an outstanding clean and balanced design that immediately capture your attention. Master combination of different materials and textures resulting in a stunning 90's style runners. Extremely comfortable with very conscious anatomical design insole.
Perfect
Fits really well. High quality and they walk really light.
Fantastic
You can really feel the quality and the fitting with my feet is amazing. 10/10 shoe

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.

Between sizes?
Choose the larger size. Feet naturally expand throughout the day, so measuring in the evening usually gives the most accurate result.
