FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Nike Cortez typically follows standard Nike sizing; however, since it is a leather shoe, it may feel snug initially and will break in over time.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
No, these are designed as lifestyle trainers and do not provide the cushioning or support necessary for long-distance running.
How do I prevent the white leather from yellowing?
Keep them stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and avoid exposing them to excessive moisture.
What is the material composition?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality leather, providing a durable and classic look.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles in this model are generally removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
While leather offers some protection, these are not waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent staining and water damage.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather trainers; use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their shape.
Stubborn stains on white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft-bristled brush with a gentle mixture of water and mild soap, dabbing lightly rather than scrubbing hard.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Cortez trainers remain in good condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and scuffs. Apply a leather-specific cleaner or protector periodically to prevent the material from cracking. For the laces, they can be removed and hand-washed in warm water with a mild detergent when they become soiled.
