FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the Cortez has vintage running roots, this specific "Polka Dot" model is best suited for casual wear and light activities due to its design and materials. For serious running, specialized running shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the polka dot pattern?
Gently wipe the entire shoe with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh cleaning agents, as this could affect the pattern and materials.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from lightweight and breathable textile material, with tonal suede overlays.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The Cortez generally has a standard fit. If you have wider feet, it's advisable to check reviews or try them on if possible, as the textile upper offers some flexibility but no specific width options are available.
What is the primary color family?
The primary color family is Pink, with secondary accents in Magenta.
How do I care for the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush to clean and maintain the nap. For protection against water and stains, consider a suede protector spray, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
What does 'MPN' stand for?
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. For this specific variant, the MPN is IR1332-500.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thin socks initially. If they remain uncomfortable, consider using a shoe stretcher or consult retailer for exchange options if unworn.
Suede overlays look dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent stains, consult a specialized shoe cleaner for suede.
Outsole has lost grip
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If wear is significant, the grip may be naturally reduced due to normal use.
Laces are fraying
Replace the laces with a similar style or length. Ensure new laces are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid damaging eyelets.
