* '''Flexibility'''. The Virrata is a nicely flexible due to the grooves in the bottom of the midsole.
* '''Outsole'''. There is almost no outsole, just some small patches under the big toe and rear of the shoe. Most of the bottom of the shoe is exposed foam, which reduces weight at the expense of longevity.
* '''Shape'''. The Virrata is the classic shape that does not match the human foot, and narrows excessively in the toe box. I found that I had to [[Shoe Modifications| cut the toe box open]] to prevent toe problems.{{H:TryCuttingShoes}}
* '''Upper'''. The upper is reasonably thin, and while it's not flexible, it's quite comfortable and hard wearing. The upper has excellent padding around the ankle opening.
* '''Tongue'''. The Virrata is a hybrid between a classic tongue and a "sock style" tongue. I found that it behaves like a normal tongue other than staying in place much better, which is excellent. The tongue has good padding.
