FAQs
Is the Nike Downshifter 13 good for marathons?
While durable and comfortable, it is designed as a daily trainer; many runners prefer more specialized racing shoes for competitive marathons.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are optimized for road and gym surfaces; they lack the aggressive lugs needed for technical or loose trail terrain.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, though it is recommended to have a thumb's width of space at the front for running comfort.
How often should I replace them?
Standard athletic shoe life is typically between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after first run
Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure but non-restrictive fit and allow for a short break-in period.
Debris caught in outsole
Use a soft brush or a blunt tool to gently remove pebbles or dirt from the tread patterns to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Downshifter 13s last, it is recommended to keep them dry and clean them by hand using a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive. To maintain the shape of the upper, use a shoe tree or stuff them with paper when not in use. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks for the best fit and moisture management during your runs.
