FAQs

Does the Duramo SL 2 run true to size?

This model tends to fit small. It is recommended to choose a larger size if you are typically between two sizes.

Can I use these shoes for gym workouts?

Yes, the stable base and secure lacing make them suitable for general gym activities, weight training, and treadmill use.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the upper is made of breathable mesh designed for airflow, so it will not keep feet dry in heavy rain.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The weight is approximately 291 grams for a standard men's size 42 2/3 (UK 8.5 equivalent).

What is the midsole drop?

The shoe features a 9 mm drop, with a heel height of 33 mm and a forefoot height of 24 mm.

Troubleshooting

Feeling too tight in the toe box

If the shoe feels restrictive, ensure you are not wearing excessively thick socks, or consider swapping to a half-size larger if still within the return window.

Slipping during runs

Try a runner's loop (lock-down lacing technique) using the top eyelet to secure your heel more firmly into the shoe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction at only 291g
  • Excellent durability from the Adiwear outsole
  • Highly breathable upper for comfort in warm conditions
  • Reliable, responsive cushioning for everyday mileage

  • Sizing runs small, requiring potential size adjustment
  • Less cushioning depth compared to high-end racing shoes
  • Limited colorway options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Duramo SL 2, verify your size before use due to the snug fit characteristic of this model. When cleaning, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the synthetic materials and foam. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the mesh using a cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning components over time.
