ETQ SL 01 Full Suede Chocolate Mediterranean Suede

The ETQ SL 01 Full Suede Chocolate combines a wide, softly textured strap with a structured foundation. Cut to lie flat across the foot, the suede strap provides a secure hold without pressing, while a shaped footbed and welted sole give the minimal slide substance. Rich Chocolate Mediterranean suede brings warmth to its understated silhouette.

Wear it with linen trousers or casual shorts for relaxed warm-weather outings. The upper gradually softens and adapts to the foot, while suede lining creates a gentle contact surface beneath the strap.

• Solid sole stitched to the upper along a welt rather than attached with glue.
• Wide suede strap designed to move naturally with the foot.
• Slip-on design without laces or hardware.
• Designed in the Netherlands and handcrafted in Portugal by ETQ’s longstanding family-run factory partner.
• Suede upper becomes softer and conforms to the foot through wear.
• Shaped footbed provides arch support for everyday comfort.
• Suede strap lining helps reduce rubbing against the skin.
• ETQ’s distinctive square detail is pressed into the strap.
• A reusable travel bag is included for carrying and packing.
• The white presentation box also serves as the shipping carton, eliminating another outer box.

Mediterranean Suede comes from the underside of the hide, sanded to produce a fine, velvety nap. ETQ sources the material from Gruppo Mastrotto in Arzignano, Italy, an LWG Gold-certified tannery, and Sanchez Agullo in Alicante, Spain, an LWG-approved tannery. Every hide is checked for finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. Its short, dense and even nap lends depth and consistency to the Chocolate shade, gaining character over time.

Maintain the suede with regular brushing in the direction of the nap. Apply a water-and-stain protector before the first wear and reapply after cleaning. If the slides get wet, let them dry naturally before brushing gently to revive the texture.
