To my surprise, the Duramo SL 2 did not meet my expectations. I've owned several Adidas running shoe models before, including the Questar 3, Runfalcon 5, and Galaxy 7, and compared to those, this pair felt less comfortable overall. To be fair, the shoes are not terrible, but for the small price difference, I expected a better experience. The insole feels somewhat oversized, almost as if it doesn't fit perfectly inside the shoe and slightly overlaps in certain areas. The biggest issue for me was the arch area, which felt uncomfortable and rubbed against my foot while trying them on. The design and quality are decent, but in terms of comfort, I personally found the Questar 3, Runfalcon 5, and Galaxy 7 to be much better options. Unfortunately, these were not worth the little extra cost for me.
