Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Downshifter 13s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. When first putting them on, ensure the laces are adjusted to balance snugness with blood flow to the foot. For compatibility, these trainers are true to size for most adult male runners. To care for your shoes, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials or adhesives from breaking down.
