Womens Duramo SL 2 Running Shoes - Wide Fit Lightweight Trainer

In this review of the Womens Duramo SL 2 Running shoes, the bottom line is simple: these are a reliable, lightweight daily trainer for women who want comfort and durability without fuss. Built with a breezy mesh upper and adidas LIGHTMOTION cushioning, they suit runners building consistency, doing road miles, or using them for brisk walks. The review finds the shoes notably light at 8.4 ounces (size 7) and supportive thanks to a 9 mm midsole drop, making them a solid choice for everyday training and multi-mile sessions.

Key Features

• Mesh upper: A breathable, lightweight mesh keeps feet cool during runs and reduces overall shoe weight for easier turnover.
• LIGHTMOTION midsole: Super-light cushioning provides responsive support so strides feel bouncy without excess bulk.
• 9 mm midsole drop: The 32 mm heel and 23 mm forefoot create a stable heel-to-toe transition suited to road running and steady training.
• Adiwear outsole: Durable rubber in high-wear areas extends the life of the shoes when used on pavement or track.
• Wide fit option: The womens wide-fit profile accommodates broader feet and reduces pressure points on longer runs.

Who It's For

These shoes are best for women who need a lightweight, comfortable daily trainer for road running, tempo workouts, and long walks. The wide-fit option and cushioned midsole make them suitable for runners who value comfort over aggressive responsiveness and for those building mileage.

Runners seeking maximal cushioning, a zero-drop platform, or a highly technical racing flat should look elsewhere, as these lean toward a balanced, everyday feel rather than race-specific performance or maximum-pad cushioning.
