FAQs
Are these suitable for marathon training?
Yes, they provide sufficient support and cushioning for daily training miles, though marathoners often rotate them with specialized high-mileage shoes.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Absolutely. The stable platform and secure midfoot support make them versatile enough for treadmill sessions and basic strength training.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The Downshifter 13 fits true to size. Ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
What is Nike Grind?
Nike Grind is a palette of premium recycled materials created from manufacturing scrap and worn-out footwear.
Are these waterproof?
No, they feature a mesh upper designed for maximum breathability, which will allow water to pass through in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure at the midfoot
Adjust the laces to be slightly looser at the midsection while maintaining tension at the eyelets to allow the internal support band to function without constriction.
Accumulation of debris in outsole studs
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge gravel or dirt from the tread pattern after runs to maintain consistent grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Nike Downshifter 13, follow these care steps:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the recycled foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid the washing machine as the agitation can compromise the internal support band and adhesive bonds.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, which can cause the mesh and foam to warp or degrade.
- Surface Compatibility: Best utilized on flat, dry, or damp road surfaces. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or abrasive industrial cleaners.
