Build quality is regarded as strong for a super shoe, with reviewers noting resilient foams and a robust upper. However, as with most lightweight racing shoes, long-term durability is not its primary strength, and some concerns exist about midsole foam absorbing water in wet conditions. Outsole wear is typical for the category, but the shoe should hold up for its intended racing and speedwork use.
