The shoes are so pretty, but I should not have ordered a full size down as recommended. The shoes (3Y) were very small and tight in the toe box. I started an exchange and ordered 1.5 sizes up (4.5Y). I can’t wait for them to get here! I recommend ordering your true size rather than sizing down, as these run small.

From track superstar to fashion phenom, the Cortez pairs retro appeal with modern comfort. We updated the shape to give you extra room in the toe box and above your foot. Plus, a sponge-soft midsole and see-saw detailing on the outsole deliver the heritage vibes you know and love.

My purchase experience & gifted satisfaction w/NIKE
Ricke7cb60235eac4cad9f9e69464dd94b6e - May 27, 2025
Bought two selection pairs as gifts, and that feedback I'd like to share as they were really happy with, excited and fit well. Also impressed with the Nike customer service reps that helped me and graciously expedited my orders when there were beginning hiccups/cancelation that happened. So successful the second time around, arrived right before the day needed for suprise. Thank you..and recommended
Not for active kids, lasted under two weeks.

Lasted for less than two weeks (not even used everyday). The stitching on the toe ripped. $50 for under two weeks of use is disappointing. I don't recommend this for active kids.
