Durability is mixed: the outsole rubber is impressively resilient for its softness, and heel padding is robust, but the toebox upper is a weak point, showing early wear in lab and user testing. Some loss of midsole responsiveness is noted after 100+ miles, and the thin outsole may limit total lifespan compared to heavier-duty trainers.
