FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
They are ideal for beginner runners and daily training, but for long-distance marathon sessions, you might prefer a shoe with more specialized energy-return technology.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the foam and adhesives. Always clean by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap.
Are they true to size?
Yes, the Downshifter 13 generally fits true to size, though the secure midfoot strap provides a snug performance fit.
What is Nike Grind?
Nike Grind is a palette of premium recycled materials created from manufacturing scrap and worn-out athletic footwear, repurposed into new Nike products.
Can these be used for weightlifting?
While they are stable enough for light gym work, they are specifically designed as running trainers and do not provide the flat, rigid base recommended for heavy lifting.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness at the midfoot
Loosen the laces starting from the eyelets closest to the toe to allow more room for the internal support strap to adjust to your foot width.
The shoe feels slippery on smooth gym floors
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris that can mask the grip of the rubber lugs.
Visible wear on the upper mesh
Ensure your toenails are trimmed short to prevent internal abrasion of the mesh fabric during toe-off.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Nike Downshifter 13, proper fit is essential. The midfoot strap is designed to be snug; adjust the laces so that the pressure is even across the top of the foot without restricting circulation.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cold water solution with a soft brush, then air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing them in damp environments or locked cars, as heat can affect the integrity of the foam cushioning.
- Replacement: Replace your trainers every 300 to 500 miles, or sooner if the outsole tread shows significant smoothing or the foam feels compressed and loses its bounce.
