Customer Reviews Nike Downshifter 9

inexpensive, but by far one of my favorites pair of shoe

They fit amazing on my wide feet. They are very comfortable to walk or even run in. I like the material I feel like my feet can breath in these shoes.

I have very difficult feet and I found these shoes to be extremely comfortable. The toe box is nice and roomy and it is soft on top so my large hammertoe does not rub and create discomfort.

Comfortable and durable. Took a couple wears to break them in but now they are perfect.

Cute and comfy; as always with nikes, had to go up a half size.

Good shoes for the price

I love these! There’s more room in the toes than I’m used to, but I love them. Super comfy and cute. I found my new favorite Nikes!

got these shoes for work & they’re great so far! 9 hour shifts on my feet the whole time and I have no complaints

I like this shoe for jogging. Bonus, it's the only sneaker I could find in a wide width that had a little color. I wish they would make more pretty athletic shoes for a wider range of sizes.

I have arthritic feet, big hammer toe on left foot, so the mesh top at long last provides me with a toe box that has minimal pain. I really like this shoe.

Very comfortable and pretty! Seem a little narrow compared to others, which is good for me, but I imagine they will loosen up with wear. I don't run but spend a lot of time on my feet at work, and these are perfect for my needs.

Great feel right out of the box, very lightweight which is what I wanted.

This was really my fault - I ordered this shoe in my "true size"of 8.5. When ordering a shoe for heavy walking or running, best to size up. My toe went through the top with very little other wear on the shoe. I like the shoe well enough. I'll give the 9.5 a try. Too late to return the 8.5... Live and learn! I do like the style of the shoe. Nice and sleek - not clunky.

Very comfortable

I should have order a size up and it's not made for standing, for more than 5 to 6 hours. But overall it was okay. Style was fine.

I usually wear a 7.5 in Nike and these fit as expected. I do various physical activity, about 90 min per day, and needed to replace my old Nike trainers. These feel very similar to my old pair. They are a bit of a more minimalist shoe. They are lightweight, flexible, and seem to breathe well. I can see the outline of my big toe but I'm not sure if this is because the color is lighter than I'm used to of if the upper is too thin (and maybe won't be durable). I've only received them today, but they've been comfortable running about a mile on the treadmill, a cross training work out, a short strength training workout, and a cardio dance workout. I have very problematic feet from years of ballet and injuries. I also have high arches, very flexible feet, and a bit of over-pronation when running. My doctor suggested that I avoid wearing the same shoe two days in a row and this has really helped alleviate my foot issues and avoid surgery, so though I should be spending money on a different shoe to rotate with this pair, I'm debating purchasing another pair of these as a back up. Oh and as a nice bonus I think they look good for running shoes. I ordered Smokey Mauve/Metallic Red Bronze/Stone Mauve. Very trendy. I'm not sure why it has red in the name as there is no red on the shoe. The swoosh is a foiled pink bronze color. Mine also had a bit of a smell, as other reviewers have noted, but it seems to have dissipated, but it smelled like the Old Navy flip flop aisle in my house for a while :)

Fit and size great. This is just a nice, basic, not-fancy or logo-blaring shoe (you can't really see the swoosh on the Anthracite - great neutral, BTW). I like my AllBirds for kicking back, but wear these for walking and for when I want a bit more support,

I liked the shoes very much except for the fact that they felt somewhat narrow. I only wore them for a few minutes and then returned them, I did want to cause additional wear.

Length was true to size but they felt a little narrow. I don't usually buy Nikes so that may be typical of the brand. Support was okay and felt comfortable but probably not cushiony enough to use for actual running or standing all day long. BUT the style was exactly what I was looking for and the color combo of the Stellar Indigo/Sanded Purple was super-cute and the price was right for me. So fashion-wise I would recommend, but it you are looking for long-term comfort, there are probably other better options out there.

I bought these for work and I put my expensive orthotics in them. Without the orthotics I would predict that I could only wear them for a short time. With the orthotics they are good!

I bought these shoes for my mother as her everyday shoes and she loves them. It is hard to find shoes that are wide and not too long. These shoes fit her perfect. I bought two pairs

These shoes fit well and are comfortable from day 1. No breaking-in required. They look great too! The mesh over the toe area is a bit thin though, and I am worried they will get holes in them quickly, since this has happened to me before with shoes like this. Hopefully they hold up!

They're a great shoe for everyday wear. I walk a bunch to/from work and around town and they do the job and my feet don't hurt. The only one issue is the way the laces tie up. They don't "hold" their tightness by the time you get to the top to tie a bow so often I find that the very top is extremely tight and the whole way down is lose. You can't easily pull the laces and things tighten up. The fabric of the laces and the lace holes are good for that. But other than fidgeting with the tightness, a great shoe.

Like other reviewer shared, the heel felt like almost slipping out of the shoes. I tried two sizes , both with the same result. It may be excellent for someone who has short heel bed.

Love the shoe..........very comfy. Pretty much true to size!
