FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

No, the Downshifter 13 is made of mesh and is not waterproof. It is best used in dry conditions.

Can I use these for trail running?

These trainers are designed for road and gym environments. They do not have the rugged lugs required for technical trail terrain.

How do I determine if the fit is correct?

You should feel a snug fit around the midfoot, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to splay naturally.

Should I wash these in a machine?

No, machine washing can damage the glues and materials. Always hand clean with a damp cloth.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from high-quality, breathable mesh for maximum ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone during activity

Use a double knot or ensure the eyelets are fully cleared of any debris for a tighter lock.

Accumulation of dust in the mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dry dust from the mesh pores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your sneakers last, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Fitting: Ensure you have a thumbs-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe down the mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can damage the structural adhesives.
  3. Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers to prevent the rubber outsole from warping or the mesh from shrinking.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the breathable mesh materials.
