The Nike Downshifter 13 is your go-to shoe for consistent, comfortable training. The supersoft foam midsole provides a plush, cushioned feel that's perfect for those daily jogs or when you're looking to add extra miles to your routine.

User: Designed for adult females, specifically in UK size 8.5 for this variant.
Surfaces: Best suited for paved roads, sidewalks, and indoor gym floors.
To ensure the longevity and freshness of your Downshifter 13s, follow these care instructions:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh upper and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap (if needed) to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat sources, as this can damage materials.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or stuff shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and odor.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
