FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running sports?
While inspired by heritage running designs, these are primarily casual fashion trainers and not meant for high-performance athletic training.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the UK child sizing guide. It is recommended to have a small amount of space in the toe area for comfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives. Always clean by hand with a soft cloth.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, the product is constructed with durable leather, providing both support and a classic look.
What is the best way to keep the white leather white?
Wipe them down after every use and apply a leather-safe protectant spray to repel dirt and liquids.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is common with leather trainers; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape.
Surface scuffs on the white finish
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a gentle leather cleaner to buff out minor surface marks.
Shoes feeling stiff
Leather requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to soften the material naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select the appropriate UK size for the child's current foot measurements. As these are leather, they are naturally flexible but firm initially. To care for your Nike Cortez trainers, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth after daily use to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner designed for sneakers. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals, as this can degrade the leather finish. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
