These shoes are designed for building consistency, speed, and endurance during training runs, suitable for runners preparing for races.

No, the Duramo SL 2 features an Adiwear outsole designed for pavement and track surfaces. They are not recommended for technical trail running.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. If tightness persists, consider if this is the correct size or width for your foot. A different lacing technique might also help.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The Adiwear outsole provides general traction. For significantly wet conditions, exercise caution, as no outsole is completely slip-proof. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
Discomfort during runs
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and fit for your foot type. Break them in gradually with shorter runs. If discomfort persists, the shoe's cushioning or support profile might not suit your biomechanics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These running shoes require no specific setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. Adjust the lace closure to your preference for a secure feel.
Compatibility: The Duramo SL 2 is designed for running on pavement, roads, and standard athletic tracks. While the Adiwear outsole offers good grip, it is not intended for aggressive trail running or highly technical terrain.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your running shoes:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, remove insoles and laces, and hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Drying: Never machine wash or tumble dry. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use.
