FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Downshifter 13 generally fits true to size for most men; however, those with wider feet may prefer to go up half a size.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While durable and comfortable, these are designed as everyday trainers and may not provide the necessary support or energy return for long-distance marathon racing.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace trainers every 300 to 500 miles, or sooner if you notice significant compression in the sole or loss of tread.
Are they water-resistant?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for airflow and will allow moisture through if stepped in deep puddles or used in heavy rain.
Can I remove the insole to add orthotics?
Yes, the standard insoles in the Downshifter 13 are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the laces across the bridge area or try a different lacing pattern, such as skipping the eyelets where the pressure occurs.
Insole slipping or moving inside the shoe
Ensure the insole is pushed firmly into the heel cup; if the issue persists, remove and reinsert the insole to clear out any debris underneath.
Surface scuff marks on the white upper
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water applied gently with a soft toothbrush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Downshifter 13, proper care is essential. When first putting them on, loosen the laces completely to ensure your heel is properly seated in the back of the shoe before tightening for a secure fit. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
