FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash Nike trainers as this can damage the adhesives and foam. Hand cleaning is preferred.

Can I use these for long-distance marathon running?

While the Downshifter 13 is capable of running, it is designed for shorter distances and daily wear rather than marathon-level support.

Do these come with a wide fit?

This model features a standard fit. If you have very wide feet, you may want to consider a half-size increase or a dedicated wide-fit model.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Are the laces replaceable?

Yes, you can swap out the standard laces for any athletic lace of a similar length if you prefer a different color or style.

Troubleshooting

Feeling tightness around the midfoot

Try loosening the laces starting from the midfoot eyelets to allow the internal band more room to expand.

Excessive dirt in the mesh material

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently agitate the mesh fabric while dry, then wipe with a damp cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight feel for all-day wear
  • Excellent ventilation from the mesh upper
  • Secure fit provided by the midfoot band
  • Reflective elements for added visibility

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty gym lifting
  • Designed primarily for road use, not rugged trails
  • Limited water resistance due to mesh material

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Downshifter 13 trainers last, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. If they get dirty, spot-clean the upper with a soft cloth and mild soap. For the soles, use a stiff brush to remove debris trapped in the traction grooves. Always air-dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the foam midsole over time. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks you intend to use for your activities.
