FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
The Downshifter 13 is optimized for daily runs and casual activity; while durable, it is not specifically engineered for high-performance long-distance racing.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a UK 12.5 in other Nike models, you should select the same size here.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers, as it can damage the materials and glue. Hand cleaning with mild soap is preferred.
Are they waterproof?
No, the breathable mesh material is designed for airflow, not water resistance.
Are these suitable for gym weightlifting?
While stable enough for light exercise, these trainers are designed for running and walking rather than heavy lifting, which typically requires a flatter, firmer sole.
What is the secondary color?
The secondary color for this model is grey.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white mesh upper
Use a soft brush and a mild detergent mixed with water to gently scrub the affected area, then air dry away from direct sunlight.
Feeling of slippage in the heel
Ensure the laces are tied using the top eyelet (the 'runner's loop') to secure the ankle collar against your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Downshifter 13 trainers stay in top condition, proper care is essential. Since the colorway features white, it is recommended to spot-clean the mesh using a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust or light stains. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can compromise the adhesives and structural integrity of the shoe. When sizing, note that these trainers follow standard UK sizing conventions; ensure you are fitted for your correct size to prevent excessive friction or heel slippage. For the best fit, test your sneakers in the evening when your feet are at their largest after a full day of movement.
