Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Nike Downshifter 14 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a comfortable and optimal fit. It is recommended to try them on before your first run to confirm the fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they can be used for general fitness activities or walking, their traction and support are optimized for asphalt, concrete, and other hard, even surfaces. They are not recommended for trail running or activities requiring aggressive grip.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and mud from the upper and outsole. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow trainers 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.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Washing Machine: It is generally not recommended to machine wash trainers, as this can compromise the adhesives and structural integrity of the shoe. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.
