* '''Flexibility'''. The Huaka is more flexible than the Bondi or Olympus, a lot more flexible than the Conquest, but less flexible than the Clifton.
* '''Outsole'''. The Huaka has some exposed midsole, with some durable rubber covering some of the high friction areas. The durable rubber is not terribly well placed in my opinion (see image below), and I can see the wear patterns causing some odd stresses on the foot.
* '''Shape'''. The Huaka has the typical Hoka shape, which includes a tiny toe box. At Ultras I've seen a distinctive pattern of blisters caused by Hokas, so it's critical to [[Shoe Modifications| cut open the toe box of any Hokas]].{{H:TryCuttingShoes}}
* '''Upper'''. The upper is a thin, breathable, and inflexible, with good padding around the ankle opening. The material looks identical to the Clifton.
* '''Tongue'''. The Huaka has a classic tongue rather than a tongue-less sock style of upper, though the tongue has no padding.
