FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?

While they are excellent for building daily mileage, they are better suited for shorter to mid-distance training rather than high-intensity competitive marathons.

Can I put the Downshifter 13 in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the cushion of the trainers. Spot cleaning is recommended.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the upper is made of a breathable material which is designed to allow airflow, not to repel water.

Does this model come in different widths?

The standard version of the Downshifter 13 provides a regular fit; please check availability for specific width variants.

How long should these trainers last?

Typically, running shoes provide optimal support for 300 to 500 miles depending on running surface, weight, and gait.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels tight during long runs

Consider loosening the laces toward the toe box or wearing thinner performance socks.

Excessive dirt accumulation in the mesh

Gently use a soft-bristled brush to knock out loose debris after the shoe has completely dried.

Slippage in the heel area

Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the heel more securely into the back of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shoes last, begin by checking for the correct size and width, particularly as feet can swell during exercise. Ensure the laces are tightened securely to prevent heel slippage without cutting off circulation. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after your run and use a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper stains. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the adhesive and cushioning materials. Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
