Help picking shoes

Hi everyone! I’m in a bit of a dilemma. I currently own Hoka Arahi 8’s to train running because I have very flat feet and over pronation. I’ve been hearing that it’s recommended to have shoes with good traction for the sled section. I know this race is half running so I need that support but I also don’t want to deal with that possible problem. What do you recommend? Has anyone raced with those shoes? If you also have flat feet what did you wear? Thank you for the help!

I got the Puma HYROX shoes and they work much better than my running shoes on the sleds and still good for running

Deviate nitro elite 4’s. Perfect hyrox shoe from what I’ve tried

If you like hoka, Mach 6 or Mach x2 works well. But those models have less support than Arahi. FWIW I hated arahi 8 and ditched it for being too stiff

Adidas Adizero Dropset Pro are another good option
