The shoe feels good and looks well made but has a couple aspects of concern that  make it "very good" versus "excellent."

The toe area breathes well, better than the 992. However, the toe area stop and overlay material is thin, and the toe protrudes noticeably into it, even when brand new. It's hard to believe this was not considered in the shoe engineering, because it is so obvious.

At first the insert has a grainy, almost sandpaper feel to it, but that quickly goes away during the first walk.

The insert seems to be of resilient material and the inner shoe has a smooth and comfortable feeling when one runs on it. At rest, the feeling is kind of neutral. It does not have the pillow "cushiony" feeling the 991's had, running or at rest, but it is slightly more comfortable than the 992.

The shoe seems light, and lighter than the 992.

The laces fit nice and snug.

My guess, and it is only a guess based on observation of a brand new shoe, is the body of the shoe is well made but needs reinforcement around the toe. The shoe insert looks and feels made to last. The heal rim stitching looks weak, the laces and lacing look of average quality, and it's hard to tell about the soles.

To make the shoe excellent, re-do the toe area quality (and keep the good ventilation there), reinforce the lacing and heal tip area.

But overall, this is a good fitting, comfortable, light shoe with insert technology that feels good to run on, built with above average durability, but a few weak spots.

UPDATE: 9 months later- the shoe holds up well and the toe area thin material does not seem to be a problem. It looks like it ought be thin and tear, but so far, it has not and does not show signs of doing so.

The workmanship quality is at least good, another year and a half will determine whether it is very good or excellent.

My expectation now is this will last 3 years with heavy use and still be in good shape.
