Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
The Duramo SL 2 is designed primarily for short to medium-distance training. While durable, it may not provide the advanced energy return needed for full marathons.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can degrade the adhesive and structural integrity of the mesh and foam midsole. Use a cloth and mild detergent instead.
What does the 9mm midsole drop mean?
The midsole drop is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. A 9mm drop provides a moderate elevation that encourages a natural transition for most runners.
Are these true to size?
Yes, these trainers feature a regular fit that is generally true to size for standard adult feet.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance, so they will allow moisture to pass through in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the laces to ensure a tighter lockdown across the midfoot, or consider using a 'runner's loop' lacing technique.
Outsole losing traction in wet conditions
Ensure the outsole treads are clear of debris, such as small pebbles or mud, which can inhibit the grip of the Adiwear rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear your standard size as the shoes follow a traditional regular fit. Before your first long run, spend time walking in the shoes to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot shape.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the mesh upper clean by brushing off dry dirt after use.
- For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging in water.
- Air dry at room temperature; never use a machine dryer or place near direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
