FAQs
Are the Downshifter 14 trainers good for long-distance running?
They are designed for daily, shorter-distance training. While comfortable, professional long-distance runners may prefer models with more specialized energy-return technology.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the foam and the structure of the shoe. We recommend hand cleaning with mild soap.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during activity.
Is the mesh upper water-resistant?
The open-hole mesh is designed for breathability rather than water resistance. It is best used in dry conditions.
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Downshifter 14 provides neutral support. If you require significant arch support, you may consider using aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lace tension starting from the bottom eyelets and ensure the midfoot band is centered properly.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a soft brush or a blunt object to gently dislodge pebbles or dirt trapped in the tread after your workout.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Downshifter 14 trainers, consistent care is essential.
Setup:
When first putting on the shoes, ensure the laces are untied to avoid stretching the midfoot band. Use the pull-on technique to avoid crushing the heel counter.
Compatibility:
These trainers are standard width and fit true to size. They are intended for dry, paved, or indoor surfaces.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam midsole.
- Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area. Do not place them on radiators or under direct sunlight, as this may warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a well-ventilated, dry place to prevent odor buildup.
