FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Downshifter 14 offers responsive cushioning, but for marathon distances, runners who prefer more substantial cushioning might want to consider models with thicker midsoles.
What type of surface are these shoes best for?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running and other hard surfaces like treadmills. They are not ideal for uneven or loose terrain found on trails.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for running. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand clean with mild soap and water.
What is the main benefit of the internal midfoot band?
The internal midfoot band is designed to provide a secure, locked-down feel around your midfoot, enhancing stability and support during your run.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit might be narrow for individuals with very wide feet. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consider the lacing techniques to optimize the fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. For a slightly looser fit, try unlacing the shoes and relacing them with wider spacing in the midfoot area.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces. For wet conditions, exercise caution as grip may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
Feet feel hot during long runs
While the open mesh offers good breathability, very long or intense runs in high heat might still lead to warm feet. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult male runners. Best used for road running, track workouts, and general fitness activities. Not recommended for rugged trail running.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft brush. Do not machine wash.
