* {{H:flexibility}}. The GORun Ride‏‎‏‎ has excellent flexibility probably due to the unusually soft foam used in the midsole.
* {{H:outsole}}. The GORun Ride‏‎‏‎ has small patches of firmer rubber outsole, seen as red circles in the images of the bottom of the shoe. This is rather sad, as these patches are positioned to make a pretty pattern rather than any functional benefit as they are not in the high abrasion areas. The lack of outsole, combined with soft foam and the egg-crate shape means the Ride wears down really quickly.
* {{H:shape}}. The GORun Ride‏‎‏‎ is one of the few shoes where I've not had to [[Shoe Modifications| cut open the toe box]], and its shape is remarkably close to the human foot.{{H:TryCuttingShoes}}
* {{H:upper}}. The upper is inflexible and a rather thick which makes it less breathable and warmer than I'd like except for winter. It also has quite a few seams, something that's thankfully becoming less common these days. There's a little padding around the rear of the foot, and good padding around the ankle opening. However, the padding around the angle opening comes quite a long way down and I found it presses on the back of the heel bone (Calcaneus). I think this could cause problems for many runners and I disliked it.
* {{H:tongue}}. The GORun Ride‏‎‏‎ has a traditional tongue that is has a tab to attach it to the laces, with nice soft padding.
