The features and capabilities of running shoes vary with the foam embedded in their midsole. I have found the snug mid-foot fit very comforting and supportive despite the lack of any "wedge-shaped" arch support you find in many running shoes.

This, unfortunately, is not correctable given the design of the machines. By eliminating these features that tend to weigh down a shoe, Hoka launched this lightweight, no-fuss trainer meant for speed and agility.
