* {{H:flexibility}}. The RC5000 is flexible due to the relatively thin midsole.
* {{H:outsole}}. The RC5000 has lots of small, hard plastic lugs over the forefoot, and the outside edge of the heel. These are not the type of lugs you'd find on the trail shoe, but are intended to provide extra grip on asphalt, something they do nicely.
* {{H:shape}}. The shape of the RC5000 does not match the human foot, and narrows in the toe box, and I had to [[Shoe Modifications| cut open the toe box open]] to prevent toe problems.{{H:TryCuttingShoes}}
* {{H:upper}}. The upper is thin, inflexible and seamless with no padding other than a tiny bit around the ankle opening. The upper is so thin that I was concerned it would tear easily, but I've had no problems even where I've cut the upper open around the toe box.
* {{H:tongue}}. The RC5000 has a traditional tongue that is has a tab to attach it to the laces. The tongue is thin and unpadded, but I didn't find it uncomfortable.
