FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the leather material and the structure of the shoe. Use hand cleaning methods only.

Is the material real leather?

Yes, the Nike Cortez Basic SL features a leather upper for improved durability and support.

Can these be worn for sports?

They are suitable for general activities, PE, and casual play, though they are categorized as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance specialized sports equipment.

How do I remove mud from the white finish?

Allow the mud to dry completely, brush it off with a soft-bristled brush, and then wipe the area with a damp cloth.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Cortez silhouette generally has a standard fit. If your child has very wide feet, you may want to try a half-size up to ensure comfort.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on the white leather

Use a specialized white leather cleaner or a soft pencil eraser to gently lift the mark.

Shoes feel tight after a growth spurt

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly; if discomfort persists, it is likely time to size up.

Creasing on the toe box

This is common with leather footwear; use shoe trees when not worn to help maintain the original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for your Nike Cortez Basic SL trainers, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, wipe the surface regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust and surface stains. For scuffs on the white leather, use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking. Check the sizing guide carefully before purchase, as these are tailored for children's foot dimensions.
