Hi Matt,
my first pair (let's not talk about the pattern I used :-P P ) have around 300 - 400 km (14 days march of about 250km + training before + the odd trotting around on events) on them and I found that they stood up quite good to that. However, the heel area certainly is the part that is probably under most stress and I had to eventually restitch it.
The sources I know unfortunately do not give any details on how this was solved w/ the originals, so now I plan to contact van Driel-Murray and ask her about that ...
