Durability is above average for a super shoe, with improved resilience in the FF Turbo+ foam and good outsole grip. However, the outsole has limited rubber coverage, making it less suitable for high-mileage training or rough surfaces. Most reviewers recommend reserving it for races and key workouts to maximize lifespan.
