FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Nike Downshifter 13 generally fits true to size, but the internal midfoot band provides a snugger feel than traditional trainers.
Can I use these for marathon running?
They are suitable for daily training and road running, though distance runners often prefer specialized marathon shoes for higher mileage.
Is this shoe water-resistant?
No, the mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability and will allow water to pass through if you step in a puddle.
Does the shoe have good arch support?
The internal midfoot band offers basic arch support and stabilization to keep the foot secure.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the materials from fading or the foam from becoming brittle.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel loose during movement
Tighten the laces, ensuring they are pulled through the eyelets near the midfoot band to maximize the internal support system.
Visible dirt accumulation on the mesh
Use a soft brush to gently flick off dry dirt, then spot clean with cold water and a mild detergent.
Reduced traction on wet pavement
Inspect the rubber outsole for debris; clear any stuck pebbles or grit to ensure the tread pattern makes full contact with the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Downshifter 13, proper maintenance is key. Since the upper is constructed from breathable mesh, avoid machine washing, which can damage the structural integrity of the fabric. Instead, clean the exterior by gently wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the outsole, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris trapped in the tread to maintain optimal grip. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the foam midsole from degrading or warping.
