FAQs
Is the Downshifter 13 suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, this specific version is designed with an extra-wide silhouette to accommodate users who need more room in the toe box and midfoot.
Can I put these in the washing machine?

Use a soft brush to remove loose debris, followed by a light wipe-down with a damp, soft cloth.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose after break-in
Adjust the lacing pattern to a tighter knot or use the top eyelets for a more secure heel lock.
Visible dirt on black fabric
Use a dry microfiber cloth for light dust or a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots, then allow to air dry.
