FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Duramo SL 2 follows standard adidas sizing. We recommend checking your foot length against the provided UK sizing chart.

It is not recommended to wash them in a machine. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the safest way to maintain the material.

What surfaces are these best for?

They are designed for road, pavement, and treadmill use.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping inside the shoe

Adjust the laces using a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock method to increase tension around the ankle and prevent heel lift.

Accumulation of dirt in mesh upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris from the mesh pores before wiping with a damp cloth.

  • Design is optimized for neutral running mechanics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are lace-up trainers, ensure you achieve a secure lockdown that is not overly tight to maintain circulation during extended runs. To prolong the lifespan of your adidas Duramo SL 2 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth after each run to prevent dust and grit from settling into the mesh.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can warp the midsole cushioning.
  3. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the synthetic materials.
  4. Insole: If the insole becomes damp after a long run, remove it to allow for faster drying.
