No, less cushion.
You want stability, not smooshy.
Firmer foam with less squish, and often with external heel counters. Brooks Ariel/Beast and Addiction are very well built, very sturdy and stable. And they ARE built up under the midfoot.
I've run in Addictions for years, then switched up to Beasts when my grumpy knee started talking to me more. (Beasts are the mens version of Ariels, wider toe-box)
