ETQ SL 03 Suede Black Mediterranean Suede

Black Mediterranean suede lends a velvety finish to the ETQ SL 03’s minimal crossover design. Two intersecting straps secure the foot without buckles, keeping the upper open and the silhouette flat. Lightweight for travel and structured for outings in town, this sandal is made for relaxed warm-weather dressing.

Slip it on with linen trousers or casual shorts for an easy start to the day. The suede gradually softens and adapts to the foot, while the soft onSteam® footbed helps draw moisture away during wear.

• Lightweight EVA sole for everyday city walking.
• Ribbed outsole helps provide grip on smooth ground.
• Crossed suede straps hold the foot without a buckle.
• Simple slip-on construction with no laces or hardware.
• Designed in the Netherlands and handmade in Portugal by ETQ’s longstanding family-run factory partner.
• Suede upper softens and conforms to the foot with use.
• Soft onSteam® footbed with moisture-wicking properties.
• ETQ’s distinctive square is pressed into the strap.
• Includes a reusable travel bag for packing and carrying the sandals.
• The white presentation box serves as the delivery carton, avoiding a second outer box.

Mediterranean Suede comes from the underside of the hide, gently sanded to form a fine, velvet-like 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. Each hide is assessed for finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. The short, dense and even nap creates a rich, consistent colour that gains character through wear.

Brush regularly with a suede brush, working along the direction of the nap. Apply a water-and-stain protector before wearing for the first time and renew the treatment after cleaning. If the suede gets wet, allow it to dry naturally before gently brushing to lift and restore the texture.
