Full details

The adidas Duramo SL 2 Running Trainers are designed for female runners looking for a lightweight, supportive shoe to transition from casual training to their first 10k race. Featuring advanced LIGHTMOTION cushioning and a durable Adiwear outsole, these trainers offer a stable and comfortable ride. While they excel in short-to-medium distance performance, they are specifically optimized for road running and may not provide the deep lugs required for technical trail terrain.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but it is recommended to try them on with your preferred athletic socks to ensure the correct fit.

Can I use these for marathon distances?

These are primarily designed for short to medium distances (up to 10k). While comfortable, dedicated marathon shoes often feature higher-grade energy return systems for longer-term joint protection.

Is the material machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can compromise the adhesive and the structural integrity of the LIGHTMOTION midsole.

Does this shoe provide arch support?

The Duramo SL 2 features a neutral support profile. It is suitable for most runners, but those with severe pronation issues may require specific orthotic insoles.

Can these be worn at the gym?

Yes, their stable base and lightweight construction make them great for general gym activities, weightlifting, and treadmill work.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The shoe weighs approximately 247 grams for a size UK 5.5, making it very lightweight for daily training.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slippage in the heel

Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar tighter.

Outer mesh appears dusty or stained

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently agitate the dirt from the mesh weave while dry, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth.

Feeling 'flat' or less cushioned

Rotate your shoes to allow the cushioning material 24-48 hours to recover its shape between long training runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas Duramo SL 2 trainers last as long as possible, follow these care instructions:

  1. Fitting: Always try your trainers on with the specific socks you intend to use for running. Be aware that the internal sizing label may show US or Euro sizes, so confirm your UK size before use.
  2. Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If needed, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the mesh. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, as this can degrade the synthetic materials and the foam integrity.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Excessive heat can cause the glue and materials to warp or wear prematurely.
  4. Maintenance: If the insoles become compressed after heavy use, consider replacing them with aftermarket sports insoles to maintain arch support.
