Customer Reviews Nike Downshifter 6

I love these shoes! First, let me address size. I usually need wide width shoes, but these weren't available in WW. However, I read other reviews on multiple websites and most seemed to agree that these run a bit small, and many reviewers suggested ordering up a half size. So I ordered a 9.5 regular width, instead of my usual 9. They fit perfectly. They're roomy but not too loose, and the toe box feels just right. All I had to do was loosen the laces slightly, and they're perfect. Secondly, comfort. Originally I was trying to replace my old shoes, the Nike Lunarglide, which I absolutely loved. But the cost for the newest version (upward of a lot) was just a bit too steep for me. So I shopped around (and around) and finally settled on these. I am very happy with this choice. I am a veterinary technician in a very busy specialty hospital. My shifts are at least 12 hours long, and I'm on my feet for most, if not all, of those hours. I really need a shoe that is durable and comfortable, and the Nike Downshifter 6 is both. Vet techs are notorious for blowing through shoes, we're just really hard on them. And I think these will stand up just as well as the Lunarglides that I had for close to two years. They're also stylish, which doesn't hurt. (I have the light grey with purple laces and a teal swoosh.) I don't hit the gym, and I'm not a runner (I prefer my elliptical), but I would venture to guess that these would be nice for those activities as well. The arch support and cushion are great, even with my high arches. Definitely a good buy, especially for the price.

Very comfortable shoes. Upon arriving I put them on and went for a run. True to size. I couldn't have picked a better shoe.

I needed new lightweight sneakers to work at a summer camp. They provide the support and comfort I need to be on my feet all day!

Nothing fancy here, just a basic sneaker. I walk at least six miles every day and needed another pair of shoes in the rotation. These fit the bill perfectly. Very lightweight. There was a brief breaking-in period, but I walked ten miles in them the other day.

Best fitting show I've ever purchased. No "breaking in" required.

These are sexy looking sneakers and they feel a-ma-zing. I was a Pegasus Trail girl for a long time but feeling like the support was wearing thin, I decided to change things up. There's nothing "down" about this Downshifter. Other than the bizarrely negative name, this sneaker gives you a nice bounce and a sleek look, especially in black with "hyper punch." Definitely worth a try for the street or the gym.

These are great running/walking shoes that don't break the bank for the more casual runner. I got a lot of nice, long walks in with these guys.

These shoes are excellent for working out. I used these for running and they lasted me 3 years, being worn almost everyday. Very comfortable.

Comfortable fit and very durable

It is comfortable and affordable

Very comfortable shoe with great arch support.

I purchased these for my daughter. She has wide feet and normally wears a size 8.5. I got her a size 9 and they fit nicely. This is her second pair of these exact shoes so I knew what I was getting.

For the price these shoes are great! I'm usually a 7.5 regular width in sneakers and I got these in an 8 which was perfect. They are obviously not expensive quality but I am very happy with these. They look really nice on and have been comfortable. There's no arch support so I use my own insert if I really want. Since these are cheaper nikes I expect to need a replacement sooner than $100 ones but that's fine for me. I should note that I don't use these heavily. I use them for occasional running and hiit workouts. I would use them for hiking too but I have older shoes that I don't mind ruining for hiking. People have commented on the laces being short but I actually like that. They're long enough to tie securely yet short enough to not flap around annoyingly. If you have wide feet I can see how the laces would be a problem though.

I was in search of an "indoor sneaker" to wear around the house. I was a little hesitant to purchase this because I have a wide foot, but went ahead and did so, knowing I could return if they didn't fit. I am SO happy with these sneakers. I love how comfortable they are, and I love the color! I am not big on black sneakers, but they look great with black yoga pants, leggings, etc. Definitely my go-to sneaker when I'm in the house.

Bought these for my niece for Christmas and she absolutely loves them. She just started working full time and is on her feet most days and raves about how comfortable and supportive they are. Also it's a nice looking shoe. Nike has done it again.

Fits perfectly. Got a half size bigger than usual size just to have some extra space. Sturdy and comfortable to walk in.

A good solid shoe. Not the most stylish but good quality for the price.

Great comfortable shoes. I usually buy asics but thought I would try these since they cost less. Love them and love Zappos! I would recommend -- super cushy!

I haven't worn Nike sneakers in awhile, and was hesitant to order these. I have a wide foot, and I wasn't sure if these would be OK, even when ordering wide. Very pleasantly surprised!! I love these sneakers! I wear them as indoor shoes, and they're SO comfortable. They look great too!

Mega comfortable!! Stylish for the black color lovers in the world with a pizazz of hot pink!! Oh yeh!!! Get these, rock em, & smile!! Very supportive as well, I'm on my second pair from Zappos!!

I have purchased many other sneakers over the years and have forgotten what a good fit Nike is for my wide foot with the high arch. After reading several reviews I purchased a half size up in wide. I wore them comfortably straight out of the box and did not feel I compromised a good fit by going up a half size. The arch support hits right where it should so I know I will have many hours of comfort while wearing these shoes.

Love these! Great replacement for my old, wornout Reeboks. Very comfortable for daily use, walking, errands, etc. Had to size up 1/2 a size (from 7.5 to 8 for me). My husband also bought these, we both have them in several colors. And great to find all white sneakers, which are harder to find(those bright colors make me feel like I'm wearing clown shoes).

Having foot sugegy and needed good black gym shoes. These are perfect. They are comfortable and look good.

Very comfortable! I walk 5 to 6 miles a day and they feel great.
