FAQs
Are the Nike Downshifter 13s good for long-distance running?
These trainers are designed for everyday wear and light athletic activities; they may lack the high-level energy return needed for long-distance marathon training.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is generally recommended to avoid machine washing as it can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structural integrity.
Does the internal fit band make the shoe feel narrow?
The band is designed to provide security, but if you have wider feet, you may prefer to wear them with thinner socks or opt for a half-size larger.
What is the primary use for this series?
The Downshifter 13 is an ideal entry-level shoe for casual walking, gym workouts, and general daily activity.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The Downshifter 13 typically fits true to size, but always ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces significantly before inserting your foot, then adjust the tension gradually from bottom to top.
Mesh upper is showing signs of dirt
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried debris, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Downshifter 13s remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Initial Fit: When putting on your new shoes, ensure the midfoot band is centered for optimal support.
- Cleaning: Clean the mesh upper by spot-cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the adhesives.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material.
- Insole Maintenance: You can remove the insoles to air them out if they become damp after heavy use.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading.
