FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?

The Duramo SL 2 is primarily designed for daily training, building consistency, and endurance. While they can handle high mileage, specialized racing shoes are recommended for competitive racing.

Can I use these in the gym?

Yes, their stable design and reliable outsole traction make them excellent for general gym workouts, including cardio machines and moderate strength training.

Are these machine washable?

No, it is recommended to clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap to protect the integrity of the cushioning and construction.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The shoe weighs approximately 291 grams in a UK size 8.5.

Do they provide good grip on wet roads?

Yes, the Adiwear outsole is designed for optimal grip, making them suitable for road running in various conditions.

How should I interpret the size on the box?

Always double-check the UK size against your specific needs, as the packaging may also display US or Euro sizing metrics that differ from your expected fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight after a run

Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces slightly to allow for expansion.

Slippage at the heel

Use the extra top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the heel more securely in place.

Excessive dirt accumulation in the mesh

Allow the mud to dry completely and gently tap the soles together before brushing the mesh with a soft-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these care and setup guidelines:

  1. Sizing Verification: Always try your footwear on before finalizing your purchase, as box labels may list US or Euro sizes that differ from your standard UK size.
  2. Break-in Period: While these shoes are comfortable out of the box, perform a few short walks before committing to long-distance runs.
  3. Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush after your runs. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains; avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the synthetic mesh and adhesive bonds.
  4. Drying: Air dry your trainers in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials.
