* {{H:flexibility}}. The Hattori is nicely flexible due to its thinness, the midsole groves, and the gaps in the outsole.
* {{H:outsole}}. The hard rubber outsole overs the contact areas of the shoe, which improves longevity and grip, but adds to the weight and reduces cushioning. The outsole rubber used is a nice combination of hard wearing and grippy, and is fairly thick.
* {{H:shape}}. The shoe of the shoe is closer to the human foot than many designs, and while I prefer to [[Shoe Modifications| cut open the toe box for comfort]], it's not necessary with the Hattori.{{H:TryCuttingShoes}}
* {{H:upper}}. The upper is extremely thin and slightly stretchy, with no seams. It's not as comfortable as a traditional design, but it's a lot lighter.
* {{H:tongue}}. The Hattori has no tongue, just a sock style upper.
