FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
While the Downshifter 14 is comfortable for daily training and medium distances, marathon runners might prefer specialized high-mileage series depending on their specific support needs.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, their stable base and responsive cushioning make them well-suited for general gym training, cardio, and light weightlifting.
How do I determine if this size is correct?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
Are these waterproof?
No, these are designed with breathable mesh for airflow, meaning they will not provide water protection in wet conditions.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as heat and agitation can damage the foam and adhesives. Manual cleaning with a damp cloth is preferred.
Troubleshooting
Outer sole shows premature wear
Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on intended surfaces like pavement or tracks, as rougher surfaces like gravel or rocks accelerate wear.
Reduced cushioning responsiveness
Allow the foam to recover by rotating your trainers, giving the midsole at least 24 hours to rebound between intensive training sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing the correct size and weight of sock you intend to train in to check for proper fit.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains; avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents.
- Air Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the structural integrity of the breathable mesh upper.
