One reviewer is past 520 miles including a trail marathon, with plenty of rubber left.
That reviewer treats it as a hybrid across trail and road, despite the relatively deep lugs.

Cons

One reviewer's uppers started to tear where the outside toes press, at around 400 miles.

Overall

The shoe has held up very well through significant amounts of trail and road miles, including the Mohican Trail Marathon. I'd consider it a hybrid shoe between surfaces, despite the relatively deep lugs, as I never had issues with either one. The uppers started to tear where the outside toes pressed against them after several hundred, maybe 400 miles, but around 520 right now and still not a problem. Plenty of rubber left, great performance, going for 650 miles, might need some Shoegoo but I think they'll make it
