FAQs

Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, it is well-suited for distances up to 10k and general training, though elite marathoners may prefer more specialized footwear.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

The stable LIGHTMOTION cushioning makes them appropriate for treadmill use, general fitness, and light weightlifting.

How do I ensure the right size?

The Duramo SL 2 features a regular fit. We recommend checking your UK size and allowing about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe.

Are these machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesives and the internal cushioning foam. Always clean by hand.

What is the midsole drop?

These shoes have an 8mm midsole drop, featuring a 31mm heel height and 23mm forefoot height.

Troubleshooting

Feeling tightness across the top of the foot

Loosen the laces starting from the eyelets closest to the toe to distribute tension more evenly.

Excessive dirt buildup in the mesh

Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a soft-bristled dry brush to gently remove the debris from the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your shoes remain in peak condition, perform the following maintenance steps:

  1. Initial Fit: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure fit across the midfoot without restricting circulation.
  2. Cleaning: Hand wash the shoes using a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Do not submerge them in a washing machine as this can degrade the foam integrity.
  3. Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can warp the synthetic materials and the cushioning foam.
  4. Surface Compatibility: Designed primarily for tarmac, asphalt, and gym floors. Avoid using them on jagged rocks or sharp gravel to prolong the lifespan of the Adiwear outsole.
