FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the Nike Cortez Basic SL as the leather can be damaged by water submersion and agitation.
What is the best way to clean the white leather?
Use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the surface and immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Cortez series typically has a slim profile; if the child has wide feet, consider testing for size or selecting a slightly larger fit.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, you can replace the insole with an aftermarket orthotic or cushioning insert if extra support is needed.
How do I know the correct size?
Refer to the specific UK sizing listed on your pair. It is best to measure the child's foot in the afternoon when feet are at their largest.
Is the leather genuine or synthetic?
The Nike Cortez Basic SL features a durable leather upper designed for both aesthetic appeal and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface has become scuffed
Use a white leather polish or a specialized shoe eraser to buff out surface-level marks.
Laces are fraying
Replace with standard flat white athletic laces to maintain the classic aesthetic.
Odour buildup inside the shoe
Remove the insoles to air out and use an antimicrobial shoe spray to freshen the interior.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Cortez trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Initial Protection: Use a water and stain repellent spray on the leather before the first wear to guard against spills.
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe the white leather surface with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent debris from settling.
- Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner applied with a soft-bristle brush. Avoid harsh chemical detergents which can strip the material.
- Air Drying: Always let the trainers air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can cause leather to crack.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit that is generally true to size; however, verify the specific UK sizing before ordering, as they are available in various child and youth increments.
