FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not fully waterproof and should be protected from heavy rain to prevent damage.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they are generally true to standard UK sizing, but the wider toe box design provides a more comfortable fit than previous generations.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in construction. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Is the leather synthetic or genuine?
The Nike Cortez trainers feature a genuine leather construction for durability and high-quality aesthetic appeal.
How long do they take to break in?
Typically, these require about 3 to 5 wears to allow the leather to soften and fully adapt to your foot's unique shape.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too tight upon first wear
Wear them indoors with medium-thickness socks for short intervals to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a gentle eraser tool specifically designed for footwear to buff out minor surface scuffs.
Creasing at the toe box
Use cedar shoe trees after every wear to help absorb moisture and maintain the structural integrity of the front panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Cortez trainers, proper maintenance is essential. Because they are constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface dirt. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. To keep the shape consistent, use shoe trees when not in use. Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the leather will stretch slightly over time but will not expand significantly if the starting size is too small.
