FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Downshifter 13 is designed for breathability and is not waterproof.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While capable of light jogging, these trainers are optimized for casual use and everyday activity rather than heavy long-distance training.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Nike generally follows standard UK sizing; it is recommended to buy your usual athletic shoe size.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard construction offers a regular fit. If you have significantly wider feet, you may find them snug, and breaking them in is recommended.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the sockliner is typically removable if you need to insert orthotics.
How often should I replace them?
Depending on usage frequency, trainers typically show wear in the midsole cushioning after 300-500 miles of use.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white upper
Gently scrub with a mild detergent and a damp cloth, then allow to air dry in a shaded area.
Reduced comfort or cushioning
Check if the factory-provided sockliner has shifted and ensure it is lying flat, or consider replacing with a performance insole.
Slippage in the heel
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'runner's loop' for a more secure heel lock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear your standard athletic sock size to achieve the intended fit of the Downshifter 13. When cleaning, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth dipped in mild soapy water to spot-clean the white upper. Always allow the trainers to air dry at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic materials and foam.
