FAQs

Are these shoes good for wide feet?

The Duramo SL 2 features a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may want to wear thinner socks or consider going up a half-size.

Can I use these for HIIT or gym classes?

Yes, the stable cushioning and secure lockdown make them suitable for general gym training and moderate impact classes.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running frequency and surface conditions.

Are these waterproof?

No, they feature a breathable mesh upper designed for airflow, which means water can pass through the material.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the structural integrity and the adhesive bond of the outsole.

What does the 8mm drop mean?

The drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. An 8mm drop is a standard, versatile height that supports a wide range of running styles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during a run

The engineered mesh expands slightly with heat. Try loosening the laces near the toe box before starting to allow for natural foot swelling.

Slipping on damp surfaces

While the Adiwear outsole provides excellent grip, ensure the treads are free of mud or debris that can reduce traction.

Heel irritation

Ensure the heel tab is pulled fully up and the lace-up closure is snug, preventing the heel from lifting or rubbing against the back collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your adidas Duramo SL 2 trainers, keep the following in mind:

  1. Sizing: Before finalizing your choice, note that the box may list US/Euro sizes differently than UK sizes. Always try them on for fit before removing labels.
  2. Break-in: While these trainers feature a soft upper, it is recommended to wear them for a few short walks before committing to a long distance run.
  3. Cleaning: Hand-clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush, warm water, and mild detergent. Remove the insoles to air dry separately.
  4. Care: Avoid high-heat sources like tumble dryers or direct radiators, as these can warp the synthetic materials and the LIGHTMOTION foam, shortening the lifespan of the shoe.
