FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for the gym?
Yes, the stable LIGHTMOTION cushioning and secure lace-up design make them appropriate for general gym workouts and treadmill running.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are designed for road use. While the Adiwear outsole provides good grip, they lack the rugged lugs required for technical trails.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Always try the shoes on with the type of socks you plan to run in. Be aware that the box may list US/Euro sizing which differs from the UK size indicated on your order.
Are these waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Duramo SL 2 features an 8 mm drop, which provides a natural feel for most runners.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try a runner's loop (also known as a heel lock) with your laces to secure the ankle area more tightly.
Accumulation of dust in mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dry dirt from the mesh weave before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Duramo SL 2 trainers, always loosen the laces before slipping your feet in or out to prevent damage to the heel counter. These shoes are designed for standard road running and should be kept away from harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents. If the shoes become dirty, gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives. Always verify your fit by trying them on thoroughly, as the box label may reflect different regional sizing standards compared to UK sizing.
