adidas Duramo SL 2 Running Shoes - Green/Silver - 12.5 UK

The LIGHTMOTION midsole offers responsive cushioning that adapts to your stride, providing a comfortable and energetic feel during your runs.

These shoes are excellent for building consistency and endurance for marathon training, offering good cushioning and support for daily runs. However, for peak marathon performance, some runners may prefer shoes with more advanced features or specific marathon-focused cushioning technologies.

While the cushioning and stability are beneficial, these shoes are primarily designed for running. For gym workouts that involve lateral movements or heavy lifting, cross-training specific shoes might offer better support and stability.

The shoes weigh approximately 291 grams for a size UK 8.5.

Gently clean with a soft brush and mild soap and cool water. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Adiwear is a highly durable, non-marking rubber compound used in adidas outsoles to provide long-lasting traction and resistance to wear, especially in high-abrasion areas.

The Duramo SL 2 is an updated version, typically featuring refinements in materials, cushioning technology, or design for improved performance and comfort over the original Duramo SL.

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not restrictive fit. Consider if the size is appropriate for your foot; a 12.5 UK is a specific measurement and might not suit every foot shape.

The Adiwear outsole provides good grip on dry surfaces. For very wet conditions, exercise caution as traction may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.

Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades over time. If you've logged significant mileage, the LIGHTMOTION midsole may be worn. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use.

While durable, the mesh can be susceptible to abrasion. Avoid snagging the shoes on rough surfaces. Gentle cleaning methods will help preserve the material.
