Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness in the midfoot area

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Downshifter 13 shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short periods around the house before taking them on long runs to allow the foam to adapt to your stride.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are tightened uniformly from the bottom up to maximize the effectiveness of the internal midfoot band.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using a soft cloth, mild detergent, and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the foam and adhesive integrity.
- Air Drying: Always air dry in a cool, shaded area. Direct sunlight or extreme heat sources can cause the materials to shrink or warp.
