FAQs
Is the Nike Downshifter 13 good for long-distance running?
It is designed for light training and daily movement. While comfortable, those training for marathons may prefer Nike models with more specialized cushioning systems.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the shoes are made from breathable mesh, which is designed to allow air and moisture to pass through. They are not intended for use in wet or rainy conditions.
Can I use these for court sports like basketball?
No, these are categorized as running and casual trainers. They lack the specific lateral support and ankle protection required for court sports.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
We recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest and comparing them against the Nike size guide.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard insoles in the Downshifter 13 are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight across the top of the foot
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelet over the pressure point, to relieve tension on the midfoot.
Mesh appearing dirty or stained
Gently scrub with a mixture of mild detergent and cold water, then pat dry with a towel; do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your Nike Downshifter 13 ensures they maintain their performance and look over time.
Setup and Fit:
- Ensure you check your UK size carefully as Nike sizes can vary between series.
- When putting on the shoes, loosen the laces significantly to allow the internal fit band to adjust naturally to your foot shape before tightening.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and sole. For stains, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can degrade the adhesive and fabric materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading and discoloration.
