FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
The Duramo SL 2 is excellent for base mileage and training, though elite athletes might prefer more specialized racing shoes for long-distance event days.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and cushioning properties of the shoe. Use hand cleaning methods instead.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing for adult athletic footwear. If you have wide feet, some users prefer going up a half size.
What is the midsole drop?
The shoe features a 9 mm midsole drop, which is a standard transition that works for most heel-striking and mid-foot striking runners.
Are these good for flat feet?
While they provide neutral support, those with significant arch issues may consider adding a custom orthotic insole for extra support.
Do they work on treadmill surfaces?
Yes, the Adiwear outsole performs very well on treadmill belts, providing excellent non-slip traction.
Troubleshooting
Outer sole losing traction
Clean the tread with a stiff brush to remove embedded stones and debris that can impede grip.
Upper material showing stains
Use a soft brush and a mixture of water and gentle detergent, then blot dry with a clean towel.
Shoes feeling too tight during runs
Feet naturally swell during activity; try loosening the laces slightly before starting your run.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, check your UK sizing carefully, as these trainers run in standard adult sizing. When first using the shoes, ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for a secure, locked-in feel. For care and maintenance, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can break down the adhesives in the midsole. Instead, wipe the synthetic and mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes get wet from rain, remove the insole and stuff the interior with newspaper or a dry cloth to absorb moisture, allowing them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators.
