FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?

The Nike Downshifter 12 is designed for casual running and everyday wear. For marathon training, it is recommended to use shoes with more advanced cushioning and support features specifically designed for long-distance running.

What is the best way to clean these trainers?

Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding machine washing or tumble drying. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat.

Can I wear these for gym workouts?

Yes, these trainers are suitable for general gym workouts and cross-training activities due to their lightweight and supportive design.

What size should I order if I am usually a UK 4.5?

The available sizes are typically in whole or half UK sizes. You may want to try a UK 4.5 if available, or consider a UK 4 or UK 5 and check reviews or return policies for fit guidance.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The Downshifter 12 provides basic cushioning and support. For significant arch support needs, you might consider adding aftermarket insoles.

Are these waterproof?

No, the Nike Downshifter 12 trainers are not waterproof. They are made with breathable mesh, which is not designed to repel water.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight.

Loosen the laces and adjust for a more comfortable fit. If still too tight, consider if you need a larger size or a different model with more width.

Traction feels reduced.

Clean the outsole to remove any embedded debris or mud. Ensure the outsole rubber has not become excessively worn down.

Feet feel uncomfortable after a run.

Check that the laces are not tied too tightly. Ensure the shoes are the correct size and consider if additional cushioning inserts might be needed for longer distances.

Upper material feels less breathable.

Ensure the mesh upper is clean and free of dirt that could obstruct airflow. Allow shoes to air out between uses.
