FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
They are ideal for beginners training for distances up to 10k. For full marathon distances, you may require a shoe with more specialized support.
Can I use these for cross-training at the gym?
Yes, their stable cushioning and secure fit make them suitable for weightlifting and treadmill work.
Do these trainers provide arch support?
They offer neutral support. If you have high arches, you may consider adding aftermarket insoles.
Are they waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, not water resistance.
How should I clean the black mesh?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not soak the shoes as it can damage the internal structure.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage during runs
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar tighter against the foot.
Upper mesh collecting dust or debris
Use a soft-bristled shoe brush or an old toothbrush to gently scrub the mesh when dry.
Midsole feels stiff initially
Shoes require a brief 'break-in' period of 10-15 miles of walking or light jogging to allow the cushioning foam to mold to your gait.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Duramo SL 2 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying. Clean the exterior mesh with a soft brush and mild soap to remove surface dirt, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. For optimal comfort, ensure you are wearing the correct size (UK 7 in this specific model) with appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. If you use custom orthotic inserts, the factory insoles are generally removable to provide the necessary room for your specific footbed needs.
