FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?

How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material elasticity.
Do these run true to size?
The Nike Downshifter 14 typically follows standard athletic sizing; however, it is recommended to ensure your specific UK size is selected for the best fit.

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs
Ensure the laces are tightened using the eyelet lockdown technique to secure the midfoot.

Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge debris from the rubber tread grooves to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Downshifter 14 trainers, consistent maintenance is required. Always loosen the laces fully when putting the shoes on or taking them off to prevent heel cup deformation. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains; avoid machine washing or drying, which can compromise the structural materials.
