FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Downshifter 14 features an open-hole mesh upper designed for breathability, meaning they will let water through if exposed to rain.
Can I use these for marathon running?
These are great for training, but comfort for long-distance events depends on personal arch support needs and mileage preference.
How do I know if the size is correct?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Downshifter 14 generally offers a standard athletic fit; if you have very wide feet, you may find the standard width snug.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash Nike trainers as the mechanical agitation can damage the foam and the structure of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight during a run
Adjust the laces to be looser in the midfoot area or try using a thinner performance sock.
Visible dirt accumulation on the mesh
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the open-hole mesh before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Downshifter 14 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are sized for adult female UK feet; ensure you wear your standard athletic sock thickness when trying them on to verify proper clearance.
- Lacing: Use the lace-up closure to achieve a snug, non-restrictive fit across the midfoot.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the mesh and midsole. Do not submerge the shoes in water or use harsh chemical detergents.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Avoid placing them directly near radiators or under direct heat, as this can degrade the foam cushioning.
