Is the Downshifter 14 good for beginners?

Yes. It is a neutral, cushioned shoe that suits new runners building up easy miles. Serious training or long distances call for a more supportive shoe.

How does it compare with the Downshifter 13?

Nike added more midsole cushioning for better comfort and responsiveness. The upper is also more breathable, with a midfoot band for a more locked-in fit.

Does it fit true to size?

Most buyers say it fits true to size, but the shoe runs slightly narrow. Runners with wide feet should consider a half size up or a wide-fit model.

Is it good for long runs?

No. The cushioning is basic and firm over long distances. It works best for short to moderate runs, the gym and everyday wear.

What is the shoe made of?

The upper is open-hole mesh for breathability, with a midfoot band for support. The midsole uses Nike foam with added cushioning over the previous model.

What sizes and widths does it come in?

It comes in US sizes 4 to 15 in a normal width, in unisex sizing. Runners who need extra room should size up or look for a wide-fit shoe.

Yes. It is a road running shoe with a rubber and synthetic outsole and a 10 mm heel-to-toe drop. It is not built for trails.
