FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, Nike Cortez Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday activities, not for high-performance running or intense sports. Their construction prioritizes classic style and comfort for leisure use.
How do I clean the white leather to keep it looking new?
For daily maintenance, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stains or scuffs, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner or a specialized white leather cleaning solution. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and air dry away from heat.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Nike Cortez Trainers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying the larger size for comfort.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to prevent water damage to the leather and interior. A protective spray can enhance water resistance.
How do I break in new Nike Cortez trainers?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit. The leather will soften and mold to your foot over time, improving comfort.
What is the material of the insole?
The Nike Cortez Trainers feature a soft textile insole, designed to provide cushioning and comfort for everyday wear.
Is there a warranty included with these trainers?
Info needed: Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's warranty policy for specific details regarding your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing. Ensure laces are evenly tightened from bottom to top. For a wider foot, skip the bottom eyelet. For a tighter fit, use all eyelets and pull laces firmly.
White leather is showing scuffs or dirt.
For light marks, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs or dirt, use a specialized white leather cleaner or a magic eraser specifically designed for shoes, applying minimal pressure. Always test on a small, hidden area first.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can often be caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and lightly dusting with baby powder or cornstarch before reinserting. If the squeak persists, it might be the sole, which may require professional assessment.
