FAQs
Is the Nike Downshifter 13 good for flat feet?
While the shoe provides general arch support, it is designed as a neutral trainer. Those with severe overpronation may require additional orthotic inserts.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as heat and agitation can damage the foam and the structure of the mesh. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
What is Nike Grind?
Nike Grind is a palette of premium recycled materials created from Nike's own manufacturing scraps and recycled footwear.
Are these suitable for long-distance marathons?
The Downshifter 13 is an excellent entry-to-mid-level trainer, but dedicated long-distance racers often prefer models with more specialized energy-return technology.
Is the mesh upper waterproof?
No, the mesh is designed for high breathability, meaning it will allow water to pass through if you step in a puddle.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight around the midfoot
Loosen the laces significantly, starting from the eyelets closest to the toes, to relieve pressure on the midfoot band.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the bottom of the shoes with a stiff brush and water to remove debris and dirt buildup from the lugs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Downshifter 13s last, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes fit standard adult UK sizing; ensure you have a thumbnail's width of space at the front of the toe box for comfort during swelling while running.
- Break-in: Wear them for short walks before transitioning to full-distance runs to allow the internal band to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using cold water and mild soap. Remove the insoles and let them air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can degrade the foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the breakdown of the recycled foam materials.
