I like what I've heard about it, but I'm doubtful the rubber outsole coverage can handle 500+ miles. Anyone have experience with it?

What shoe are you comparing it to that is acceptable to you @500 miles?

I've been wearing the Nike Peg 36s and they've held up pretty well to 500 or so miles. I just don't like the look of the 1080 outsole. Thanks
I don't know about the outsole but I've heard that the midsole, being EVA, goes dead pretty quickly.
I'm on my 3rd pair right now. It's a good shoe for me. I've been running in them since version 7 and have who knows how many thousands of miles on 1080s.
The v10 are the least durable of the bunch, unfortunately. The outsole shows wear surprisingly early. And the midsole becomes a little stale earlier than I would like as well. Most of my previous 1080s would get high 400s and sometimes over 500 miles. Not these. First pair barely got over 400 and I probably pushed those more than I should have. Second pair is at 330 miles and feeling like they might not last a whole lot longer. Brand new pair is brand new and great. If they were not on pretty big sale, I would probably be looking for other options.

Last night i grabbed an old v10 pair that has 200miles more than my current pair for a recovery jog with some varying pace. Did not notice a difference between the 100mile & 300mile pair. But im a 140lb guy with a smooth mid-to-forefoot touchdown and only use them for easy&long runs.
In contrast, a 180lb heel striker that uses em for tempo days would certainly wear them out >2x
Like most things related to durability it depends on the Specific Use.
