* {{H:flexibility}}. The A6 has good flexibility with gaps in the outsole to allow the shoe to move naturally.
* {{H:outsole}}. The A6 has harder wearing rubber outsole under most of the contact area, providing reasonable longevity. There are three drainage holes under the middle of the foot that can catch stones, which may be an issue.
* {{H:shape}}. The A6 is not designed to fit a human foot, so I [[Shoe Modifications| cut open the toe box]] so my toes would not get crushed and so my foot could move naturally.{{H:TryCuttingShoes}}
* {{H:upper}}. The upper is inflexible, but somehow seems to mold itself around the foot, providing a nice level of comfort. I noted on several runs how much my feet appreciated the A6's upper when I swapped to them from other shoes. The upper is largely seamless, with some soft padding around the rear of the foot, plus more softness around the ankle opening. It's one of the most comfortable shoes I've tested in this weight class.
* {{H:tongue}}. The A6 has a traditional tongue that is has a tab to attach it to the laces. The tongue has yet more soft padding.
