FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
While they are excellent for building consistency and endurance, they are best suited for beginner to intermediate training volumes rather than extremely high-mileage marathon prep.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Machine washing can damage the synthetic materials and the cushioning properties of the midsole.
How often should I replace these shoes?
As a general rule for running shoes, you should look to replace them every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the surface and your intensity of training.
Are they waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability, meaning it will allow water to pass through if you step in a puddle.
Do these provide arch support?
The Duramo SL 2 features a neutral support profile. If you require specialized orthotic support, you can replace the existing sockliner with an aftermarket insole.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied during runs
Use a double knot or a runner's loop (heel lock) lacing technique to increase friction.
Accumulation of dust or debris in mesh
Once dry, use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dirt from the knit pores.
Slight discomfort during initial break-in
Wear the shoes for short, 20-minute walking periods over the first few days to allow the midsole foam to adapt to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Duramo SL 2 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines. Setup involves ensuring the lace closure is adjusted to your specific midfoot width to prevent internal sliding. These shoes are compatible with standard running insoles if you require additional arch support. For care, keep them out of direct heat sources like radiators to prevent adhesive breakdown. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth and let them air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the textile mesh.
