FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Downshifter 13 is optimized for daily training and novice running; while durable, it is best suited for moderate distances rather than marathon-level racing.
What is Nike Grind?
Nike Grind is a palette of premium recycled materials created from manufacturing scrap and end-of-life footwear, used here in the outsole for durability.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, the stable midfoot and durable outsole make them highly versatile for weight training and treadmill work.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The Downshifter 13 features an internal band that should feel snug but not restrictive; ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the toe.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for high breathability, so they are not waterproof and are best used in dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the midfoot
Adjust the laces to ensure the internal support band is not pulled too tight, allowing the mesh to flex naturally.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt or small pebbles lodged between the traction lugs to maintain grip.
Mesh becoming stiff after wet weather
Gently pat the upper with a damp cloth and stuff with paper towels to help the mesh retain its shape while drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Downshifter 13s remain in top condition, start by ensuring you have selected the correct UK size for your specific foot shape. To keep the shoes clean, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the upper mesh with a soft brush and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can warp the recycled foam. Because these are built as neutral trainers, they are compatible with most standard sock thicknesses, though a medium-thickness athletic sock is recommended to maximize the effectiveness of the internal support band.
