Build quality is generally regarded as solid, with premium materials and a robust outsole. However, some users and reviewers note that the thick foam midsole may show compression or wear over time, and the shoe's bulk can lead to faster outsole wear for heavy users. No major durability concerns, but not exceptional for the price.
