FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Downshifter 14 is optimized for daily movement and light runs; for heavy long-distance training, consider Nike's performance running-specific series.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers are true to size for Nike standard sizing. If you prefer extra room, some users find a half-size larger comfortable for thicker socks.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, you should never place your trainers in a dryer as the high heat can damage the foam and upper materials.
Are they waterproof?
The materials are breathable and not water-resistant, so they are not recommended for heavy rain.
Do they provide arch support?
They feature a structured design that offers balanced support for natural foot motion, suitable for most casual users.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness across the bridge of the foot
Loosen the laces starting from the top eyelets and work your way down to release pressure.
Outsole picking up debris
Use a soft brush or a blunt tool to gently remove small rocks or dirt from the outsole grooves to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Downshifter 14 trainers, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you wear the same type of socks you intend to use for training when trying the shoes on for the first time to get an accurate feel for the fit.
- Lacing: Adjust the lace tension evenly from the bottom eyelets to the top to ensure pressure is distributed across the top of your foot without restricting circulation.
- Cleaning: Hand wash your trainers using mild soap and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the cushioning materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
