FAQs
Who is the Nike Downshifter 13 best suited for?
The Nike Downshifter 13 is ideal for runners of all levels, from beginners to experienced athletes, who need a reliable shoe for everyday training, moderate-distance runs, and general fitness activities.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to Nike's official sizing chart, which typically matches UK shoe sizes to your foot measurement. Ensure a snug fit without being too tight, allowing about a thumb's width of space at the front.
Can I use these for long-distance marathon training?
While durable and comfortable for regular runs, the Downshifter 13 might offer less advanced cushioning and support needed for high-mileage marathon training. They are better suited for shorter to medium distances.
How often should I replace my Downshifter 13 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice significant wear on the outsole, midsole compression, or a decrease in cushioning and support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Nike Downshifter 13 are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and may not offer protection against heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the primary benefit of the revamped upper?
The revamped upper is designed to provide improved comfort and a more secure, adaptive fit for your foot during your runs.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with mild soap and water, followed by air drying, is the best method to maintain their integrity and lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Unusual rubbing or discomfort
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Check if the lacing is too tight or too loose. Consider if the size is correct for your foot. Break-in period might be needed for new shoes.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
The cushioning may naturally compress after significant use. For optimal performance, consider replacing shoes after 300-500 miles of running, or when signs of wear are evident.
Shoe sole feels slippery on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction but can be less effective on very wet or smooth surfaces. Exercise caution when running in wet conditions.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cool water with a cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
