FAQs
Are these Nike Cortez shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, they are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a repellent spray.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The Cortez fit is standard, but the new wider toe box may feel different if you are used to previous, narrower models. Use a standard UK sizing chart for accuracy.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the leather and the glue bonds in the construction. Stick to manual spot cleaning.
Are these suitable for gym use?
These are lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable for walking, they lack the specific support and technical features required for heavy gym activity or running.
What is the best way to store the trainers?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the leather upper.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a leather conditioning cream or a soft eraser designed for footwear to gently buff away surface scuffs.
Footbed feeling too firm
If you require extra arch support, consider replacing the standard insole with a third-party orthotic insert.
Leather looking dull
Apply a high-quality leather polish that matches the grey tone to restore the original sheen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather trainers, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. Avoid submerging them in water, as this can damage the leather finish and cause stiffening. Instead, spot clean using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become damp from rain, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather. We recommend using a leather-specific protector spray before the first wear to guard against spills and light scuffs. Check your UK size carefully before purchase to ensure the optimal fit for the newly widened toe profile.
