FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
They are ideal for beginner runners and training runs, though professional athletes may prefer more specialized long-distance models.
Can I use these for trail running?
The Downshifter 13 is optimized for road and gym use; they may lack the deep lugs necessary for loose or technical trail surfaces.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Wipe with a soft cloth dipped in mild soap and cold water. Avoid soaking the shoes.
Does the shoe contain recycled materials?
Yes, the midsole foam is recycled, and the outsole contains 13% Nike Grind rubber.
Are these shoes wide-fit?
These trainers follow a standard athletic fit; if you have particularly wide feet, you may need to consider a half-size increase or specialized wide-fit models.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort at the midfoot
Adjust the laces to loosen the midfoot tension, as the internal support band is designed for a snug, secure fit.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge pebbles or dirt trapped between the traction studs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, consider trying on your shoes in the late afternoon when your feet are at their largest. The Downshifter 13 fits true to standard athletic sizing. For maintenance, keep your trainers clean by wiping away excess dirt with a damp cloth after outdoor use. If the mesh becomes heavily soiled, use mild soap and water, but avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive integrity. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber outsole from prematurely hardening or cracking.
