No, they are made of breathable mesh and are not waterproof. They should not be worn in heavy rain or deep mud.
The Downshifter 13 features a regular fit. If you have very wide feet, you may want to try them on in-store first to ensure the width is sufficient for your comfort.
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and structural materials.
These trainers perform best on paved roads, sidewalks, gym floors, and treadmills.
The Downshifter 13 follows standard sizing. We recommend checking your foot length against a size chart, ideally trying them on while wearing the socks you plan to use for running.
These are primarily designed for road and gym use. The mesh construction lacks the reinforced protection needed for technical or rugged trail running.
Try re-lacing the shoes using the 'window lacing' technique to relieve pressure on the top of your foot while maintaining security.
Remove the insole, clean the interior compartment of the shoe, and ensure the insole is pressed firmly and evenly back into the base.
Use a specialized sneaker foam cleaner and a soft brush; avoid scrubbing aggressively to prevent fraying the mesh fibers.
Getting started with your Downshifter 13s is straightforward: simply adjust the laces to your preferred tension and ensure the tongue is centered for comfort. For care, avoid submerging or machine washing the trainers, as the mesh and structural adhesives can be compromised. If they get dusty, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris. For minor spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but ensure the shoes are completely air-dried away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle.
