FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
They are designed as casual trainers and are suitable for light physical activity, but they are not specialized performance athletic gear.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
The Cortez Basic SL follows standard UK children's sizing. It is recommended to measure the child's foot length and consult a conversion chart if necessary.
Can these shoes be worn in the rain?
Leather is water-resistant to an extent, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain can soak the material. It is recommended to use a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from leather, providing a blend of durability and comfort.
Is the insole removable?
The standard insole is fixed; we do not recommend removing it as it may affect the structure and fit of the shoe.
How often should I clean the white leather?
Wiping them down with a damp cloth after each day of heavy outdoor play will help prevent dirt from setting into the leather grain.
Troubleshooting
Creasing appearing on the toe box
Use shoe trees or stuff the shoes with paper when not in use to help maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.
Stubborn stains on white leather
Apply a small amount of non-abrasive leather cleaner with a soft cloth, working in circular motions before wiping clean with a damp towel.
Slippery soles
If the rubber soles become slick due to dirt build-up, scrub the tread with a stiff-bristled brush and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes utilize a leather upper, proper maintenance is essential to extend their lifespan. To clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away surface dirt after outdoor use. Avoid machine washing or submerging the leather, as this can degrade the material and cause discoloration. For scuffs on the white finish, a dedicated leather cleaner or a gentle eraser can be used. Ensure the shoes are allowed to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which may cause the leather to harden or crack. Check the internal lining periodically to ensure there is no debris that could cause discomfort.
