FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Duramo SL 2 features a breathable mesh upper designed for airflow, not water resistance.
Can I use these for marathon running?
They are designed for daily training and consistency, making them suitable for various distances, though individual preference for cushioning levels varies.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth to spot clean. Do not submerge the shoes or put them in the washing machine.
What is the primary material?
The upper is made of synthetic and textile materials, and the outsole is made of durable rubber.
Are these true to size?
The Duramo SL 2 generally follows standard athletic sizing; however, individual fit preference for running shoes may suggest sizing up by half a size to accommodate foot swelling.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during sharp turns
Ensure the laces are tightened properly around the eyelets to secure the midfoot lock.
Mild discomfort after long runs
Verify that your socks are moisture-wicking and not creating bulk, which can affect the fit inside the shoe.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, confirm your UK shoe size before the first run. The lace closure should be tightened evenly across the eyelets to avoid pressure points. For care, keep these trainers away from direct high-heat sources, which can degrade the midsole cushioning. If the shoes become dirty, gently scrub the outsole with a soft brush and warm water. For the textile upper, use a damp cloth to spot clean; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the structural integrity and adhesive bonding of the materials.
