FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Cortez is designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual, everyday wear rather than a dedicated performance running shoe.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather or using harsh chemicals.
Do these shoes run narrow?
This specific version has been updated with a wider toe area based on feedback to accommodate more foot shapes comfortably.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, these trainers are crafted with a high-quality leather upper for durability and style.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the structure of the shoe. Always clean by hand.
What is the best way to prevent warping?
The reinforced side panels in this version help prevent warping, but using shoe trees when not worn is the best practice.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases
Minor creasing is natural for leather; use shoe trees when not in use to minimize deep wrinkles.
Shoes feeling stiff
Leather will soften with wear; wearing them for short periods initially will help the material mold to your foot.
Dirt stuck in the sole pattern
Use a soft-bristled brush or a toothpick to gently dislodge debris from the tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Cortez trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: While the wider toe area improves comfort, give the leather a few days to adjust to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the leather. For more stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution and wipe gently.
- Moisture Protection: As these are leather shoes, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they get wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the shape of the toe box and side panels.
