FAQs
Is this shoe good for marathons?
While the Duramo SL 2 is excellent for training and 10k distances, most marathon runners prefer shoes with more specialized energy-return technology.
Can these be used for gym workouts?
Yes, their stable platform makes them suitable for light gym training, though they are primarily optimized for running.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 247 grams for a standard size UK 5.5.
Are these waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, meaning it will allow water to penetrate during heavy rain.
Should I size up for running?
It is often recommended to go up a half-size in running shoes compared to casual footwear to account for foot swelling during exercise.
How often should I replace them?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping during runs
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel more firmly against the padded collar.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Ensure you are using synthetic, moisture-wicking socks rather than cotton, which traps sweat.
Outsole losing grip on wet surfaces
Check the tread for embedded pebbles or debris and clean the outsole with warm soapy water to restore friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Duramo SL 2, always use the lace closure system to customize the fit to your foot shape before starting your run. These shoes are best paired with moisture-wicking running socks to enhance breathability. Regarding care, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after your runs. If the shoes become very dirty, clean them using a mild detergent and a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the synthetic materials and the LIGHTMOTION foam. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
