FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons or ultra-long distances?
The Downshifter 13 is designed for daily training and building up miles, offering comfortable cushioning for short to medium distances. While you *can* use them for longer runs, more specialized shoes might be preferred for competitive marathons or ultra-long distances due to their specific support and cushioning needs.
Can I machine wash my Nike Downshifter 13 shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care' section above for proper cleaning instructions to maintain your shoes.
What type of running stride or foot type are these shoes best for?
These shoes are primarily designed for runners with a neutral pronation pattern. The internal midfoot band provides some stability, but they are not specifically built to correct severe overpronation.
How often should I replace my Downshifter 13 shoes?
The lifespan of running shoes depends on factors like mileage, running style, and terrain. Generally, running shoes should be considered for replacement every 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 km). Pay attention to signs of wear on the outsole and midsole compression.
What does 'Nike Grind' in the outsole mean?
'Nike Grind' refers to recycled materials, typically from manufacturing scrap or end-of-life shoes, that are incorporated into new products. In the Downshifter 13, at least 15% of the rubber outsole is made from these sustainable materials, contributing to a reduced environmental footprint.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Nike generally aims for consistent sizing. However, foot shape varies. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the secure internal midfoot band. If between sizes, some runners prefer to size up by half a size for running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs.
Ensure your laces are tied correctly – not too tight, not too loose. Check your socks for seams or bunching. Verify that the shoe size is appropriate; sometimes a half-size up or down can make a difference.
Shoes feel less cushioned or 'flat'.
Running shoe midsoles compress over time. While not a 'fix,' rotating with another pair can extend the life. Consider if they've reached their typical mileage limit (Info needed: Average mileage lifespan for Downshifter 13).
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
The outsole is designed for general road conditions. On very wet or slick surfaces, adjust your stride and pace. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris that might hinder traction.
Unpleasant odor.
After each use, remove insoles (if removable) and allow shoes to air out completely. You can sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out.
