FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for a marathon?

The Duramo SL 2 is best suited for short to medium distances, such as 5k to 10k runs. While comfortable, they may not offer the long-distance support required for full marathons.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

Yes, their stable cushioning makes them great for gym-based cardio, though they are specifically designed for forward-motion running rather than lateral-heavy training.

Are these waterproof?

No, they are made from breathable mesh, which allows for airflow but will let water through in heavy rain.

What is the midsole drop?

These trainers feature an 8mm drop, with a 31mm heel height and 23mm forefoot height.

How do I determine my size?

The Duramo SL 2 follows standard sizing. It is recommended to choose the same size you typically wear in adidas running shoes.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure on top of the foot

Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelet where the pressure is felt or using a parallel lacing style.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Check the Adiwear outsole for debris or mud trapped in the tread patterns and clean with a stiff-bristled brush.

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Use the final eyelet to create a runner's loop (lock-down lacing) to secure the heel more effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, ensure you wear the same type of socks you intend to use for running when trying on the trainers. The lace-up closure allows for a customizable lockdown; tighten firmly across the midfoot but avoid over-tightening near the ankle to prevent restricted circulation. For care, keep the shoes in a well-ventilated area after use. If they become muddy, remove dirt with a soft brush and clean with mild soap and water. Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as heat can degrade the cushioning materials and adhesives.
