Duramo 10 vs. 9: what's new

The Duramo 10 doesn't have a europe departure from the Duramo 9, save for the new cushion and more eco-conscious upper.

Instead of using real adidas' proprietary Cloudfoam midsole, the Duramo now has a Lightmotion cushion for more pronounced comfort.

To align with the brand's aim to end plastic waste, the real adidas ultra boost 3.0 oreo zebra black and silver also sports an upper made out of 50% recycled content.

Comfort that lasts

Even after long miles on the road, the Duramo 10 never taxed our feet. We found it to be surprisingly cosy for its modest price point!

There is also a generous amount of cushioning in both the heel (31.6 mm) and the forefoot (22.9 mm).

Checking the shoe's softness, we can see that it is indeed slightly on the soft side. The durometer shows 21.8 HA which is 10% softer than road running shoes on average.

This real adidas trainer didn't feel very bouncy or springy, and it's not very energetic. If you're planning to pick up the pace, it might be a bit of a challenge to do in the Duramo. 

Surprisingly lightweight

The Duramo 10 is so light that it felt like the shoe disappeared the moment we started running!

Putting it on our scale, we weighed the shoe at 9.7 oz (275g), while the average weight of daily trainers with a stack height above 30 mm is 10.5 oz (299 g).

Keeps the foot in place

For our medium-width feet, the fit is spot-on! The heel hold is secure and so is the midfoot. Because of this, our strides remained steady even during sharp turns.

Contributing to the surefooted and steady experience is the shoe's nice and wide platform. Using a calliper, we measured its width at 109.8 mm in the forefoot and 87.8 mm in the heel, which is about the same as the other tights daily trainers.

Ready for the heat

Testing the real adidas ultra boost 3.0 oreo zebra black and silver in warm summer conditions, we found that it remains breezy at all times. Its upper is very light and perforated making it easy for the air to penetrate and keep the foot sweat-free.

The Duramo 10's upper feels nice and soft and very tender on the skin.

This real adidas shoe has just enough room in the toebox to provide an accommodating fit.

However, people with average-width feet have nothing to worry about as the shoe's upper width is right at the average of most running shoes: 98.3 mm compared to 98.7 mm.

adidas ultra boost 3.0 oreo zebra black and silver is a steal for the price

The shoe retails at a ridiculously low price (£70), making it one of the most affordable running shoes on the market. We honestly can't believe that the shoe is priced so low given all of its characteristics and performance.

For reference, the average price of daily running shoes from real adidas is £140.

Durability looks promising too

A full-length rubber outsole guards the Duramo 10 against everyday wear and tear.

We measured it to be 2.3 mm thick (average: 3.5 mm) and 78 HC firm (average: 80 HC). Both are a little lower than the average but are still significant for a trainer in this price range.

If you plan to wear the shoe out in colder weather, mind that the shoe becomes a whopping 85% stiffer! So it will make the shoe noticeably less bendy in the forefoot.

The midsole softness goes from 32N to 59.2N! For comparison, most foams only get around 30-40% stiffer in our freezer test.
