Critics' Consensus

“The Nike Downshifter 14 is a budget running shoe with a firm ride and poor energy return, making it unsuitable for racing or long distances. Its stable platform and true-to-size fit make it a decent option for beginners and casual walking, but it lacks the cushioning and responsiveness needed for serious running.”
