The dual-layer mesh upper with TPU overlays is noted as an improvement over previous versions, addressing earlier durability concerns. Most reviewers report good longevity for moderate trail use, but some mention that the outsole lugs wear faster on pavement and that the shoe is not ideal for highly technical or muddy terrain, which may impact long-term durability.
