Durability is generally considered average for a lightweight trainer. The increased forefoot rubber improves outsole longevity compared to previous versions, and some testers report over 100 miles with minimal wear. However, the thin outsole and lightweight upper mean it may not last as long as heavier daily trainers, with some users noting early signs of wear in high-abrasion areas.
