FAQs
Are the Nike Cortez Trainers suitable for running?
While the original Cortez was designed as a running shoe, the current retro versions are best suited for casual wear and lifestyle purposes due to material updates and design focus on comfort and style.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for athletic shoes, following product instructions. Always allow them to air dry.
What does the 'wedge insert' in the midsole do?
The foam midsole with an iconic wedge insert is designed to provide enhanced cushioning and constant comfort with every step, making them ideal for all-day wear.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for leather and fabric trainers like the Nike Cortez. This can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the shoe.
What is the purpose of the stiffer side inserts?
The stiffer side inserts are incorporated to help keep the foot securely in place, providing a more stable and supportive fit during wear.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The Nike Cortez series is available in a wide range of colorways. This specific guide focuses on the Blue colourway with Yellow detailing.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
It is generally recommended to consult Nike's official sizing chart. For trainers, some prefer to size up for a roomier fit, while others stick to their usual size for a snugger feel. Consider the 'Break-in' period for new shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoe. Wear with appropriate socks. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially.
Leather is creasing significantly
This is a natural characteristic of leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Gentle conditioning can help maintain suppleness.
Yellow accents are dirty
Gently clean the yellow accents with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used with caution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Discoloration of the blue material
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with recommended methods to prevent material degradation and color transfer.
