The DS 03 is our take on the classic deck shoe, built with clean lines and subtle refinement. Now crafted in suede, the upper brings a soft, textured edge to a timeless silhouette. Smooth to the touch. Naturally elegant.
Finished with buttery soft leather lining, it balances comfort with durability - a standard we hold high.
The iconic shape remains. The modern ETQ sole remains. That mix of tradition and innovation stays intact. Only the feel shifts: warmer, richer, more tactile.
Easy to wear and effortless to style, it moves between relaxed and sophisticated settings with grace. Designed to outlast trends and seasons, the DS 03 Suede is a versatile anchor piece, a refined alternative for those who appreciate detail.
Fits true to size.

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.
One box. Nothing wasted.
Every pair ships in a crisp white box built to be the shipping box too — 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.
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.

DS03 - Great pair of shoes!
Lovely shoes which are great for casual outfits but can easily be dressed up for more things as required. Perfect for work trips!
Beautiful modern shoe
A beautiful, minimalist take on the classic boat shoe with a comfortable sole.
Nice shoes, run small, no returns
The shoes come in very elegant packaging and look high-quality. Unfortunately, I had trouble with the return because the 14-day return period was calculated from the date the package was dropped off at the post office in the Netherlands. I contacted customer support but haven't received a response yet.
DS 03 All Chocolate
Size corresponds to expectation. Comfortable and fitting thanks to the laces.
Suede All Chocolate. Amazing Quiet luxury
Shoes feel amazing on the feet. Quality is superb for this price.

Size down
I would recommend sizing down one size.
Comfortable
So soft and comfortable with style
Great look and feel, but be mindful of the size.
The quality, the look, awesome. The sizing on the other hand, is totally not as described. The built in calculator told me to get 46 (I have wide feet and usually have a 45), but when I got them they were massive. Returned them for a 44, but even this still feels big. With an extra sole and some padding I was able to fix it, but I’m afraid I won’t wear them as much because of this.

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.
ETQ Footwear — Size Guide

How to measure
Place a sheet of paper on the floor against a wall. Stand on it with your socks on, heels touching the wall.
Draw a line at the end of your longest toe and measure the distance from the wall using a ruler.
Between sizes?
Choose the larger size. Feet naturally expand throughout the day, so measuring in the evening usually gives the most accurate result.
