Durability is generally rated as good but not exceptional. Reviewers note minimal outsole wear at 40+ miles and solid build quality, but some mention that the outsole rubber coverage is limited, which may lead to faster wear for heavy heel strikers or high-mileage runners. Most users report the shoe holds up well for typical training cycles.
