FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for a marathon?
While the Duramo SL 2 is excellent for training up to 10km, it is primarily an entry-level training shoe rather than a dedicated long-distance marathon racer.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, the stable LIGHTMOTION midsole and standard fit make them suitable for general gym training and cardio sessions.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 247g in size 38 2/3, making it a very lightweight option for daily training.
Are these waterproof?
No, the shoes are made of breathable technical mesh, which is not waterproof. They are intended for dry or light weather conditions.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The shoes follow standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual athletic shoe size; if you are between sizes, consider the roomier option for comfort during runs.
Does this shoe come in wide widths?
This specific model features a standard fit. If you typically require wide-width shoes, you may find the standard fit slightly snug.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the lace tightness using a runner's loop or heel-lock lacing technique to better secure your ankle.
Visible dirt on mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry mud; avoid scrubbing hard to prevent fraying the technical mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Duramo SL 2 trainers, it is essential to follow proper care guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While these shoes offer comfort immediately, wearing them for shorter walks before long runs can help the mesh upper mold to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after your run. If needed, use a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the synthetic and textile upper. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning.
