Full details

Featuring engineered mesh and responsive cushioning, it is an excellent choice for beginners transitioning from casual jogging to longer distances like 10k races. While the shoe provides excellent support and stability, it is primarily optimized for road and light gym use rather than rugged trail terrain.

FAQs

Is the Duramo SL 2 suitable for a marathon?

While the shoe is excellent for training and up to 10k distances, professional marathon runners may prefer a more specialized, carbon-plated racing shoe.

Can these be used for court sports?

No, these are designed for linear running and gym training. They lack the lateral support required for tennis or basketball.

Are these shoes vegan-friendly?

The Duramo SL 2 uses textile and synthetic materials; however, please check the specific product label for confirmation on adhesive components.

How do I know if the fit is correct?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot expansion during runs.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The shoe weighs approximately 247 grams for a standard size UK 5.5.

Troubleshooting

Heel slippage while running

Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique by using the extra eyelet at the top of the collar to lock your heel in place.

Mesh becoming stiff after wet conditions

Clean the mesh gently with warm water and a soft brush, then stuff the shoes with newspaper to help them retain their shape while drying slowly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Duramo SL 2 trainers, ensure you have selected your standard size according to the UK sizing guide.

  1. Initial Fit: Lace the shoes securely before your first run, but avoid overtightening the forefoot to allow for natural swelling during exercise.
  2. Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after each use. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
  3. Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the synthetic materials and the LIGHTMOTION foam.
  4. Rotation: If running daily, consider rotating with another pair of trainers to allow the foam midsole 24 hours to recover its cushioning properties.
