FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Downshifter 13 is designed for daily, moderate use. While durable, dedicated long-distance runners may prefer shoes with more specialized responsive cushioning.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe while standing.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, their stable base and lightweight design make them suitable for light weightlifting and general gym activity.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the shoes utilize a breathable mesh upper designed to let air pass through, so they are not water-resistant.
How can I keep them looking new?
Wipe the midsole and upper with a damp cloth after every few runs to prevent dirt from setting into the mesh fibers.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during runs
Ensure the internal midfoot band is centered and that you are using the lace-up closure to achieve a snug, secure fit.
Accumulation of dust in the mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to gently wipe the exterior mesh to maintain airflow.
Squeaking sound while walking
Check the outsole for small trapped debris or pebbles. If none are found, allow the shoes to dry completely if they have become damp inside.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Downshifter 13 lasts as long as possible, loosen the laces completely when putting on or taking off the shoes to prevent heel damage. Keep the trainers away from extreme heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can degrade the foam midsole. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the mesh using a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, which can compromise the structural integrity and glue bonds.
