FAQs
Are these shoes good for wide feet?
The Duramo line generally offers a standard width. The mesh upper does provide some flexibility, but it is best to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit if you have wider feet.
Can I use these for HIIT workouts?
They are designed primarily for forward-motion running. While they function well for light gym work, they lack the intense lateral reinforcement needed for heavy HIIT or side-to-side training.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Are they waterproof?
No, the technical mesh upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through if running in heavy rain.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, making it easy to air them out or replace them with custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage during runs
Adjust the lace tightness or use the extra eyelet at the top for a more secure 'runner's loop' lock.
Accumulated dirt in mesh
Once dry, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose dust and debris from the mesh pores.
Unpleasant odor
Remove the insoles after your run and allow them to air out in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers perform at their best, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have roughly a thumbnail's width of space at the toes to allow for natural foot swelling during runs.
- Lacing: Use the eyelets to create a "runner's loop" if you experience any heel slippage.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface mud with a soft brush after your run. If they become heavily soiled, wash by hand with a mild detergent and lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing or using high heat to dry, as this can degrade the foam and glue integrity.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the upper material from fading or losing elasticity.
