Customer Reviews Hoka Rincon

Felt great to run in. These are the best.

Very comfortable and light weight shoes. True to fit and pretty stylish. I would definitely get another pair, probably their trail running shoes next.

This shoe was a favorite of many reviewers after its surprise release this year. I see why. I like the Clifton 6, but the Rincon has a bit more personality. It does keep with the narrow-ish fit that seems to typify many Hoka models, and that might be a problem for some, but I think the fit is fairly neutral, typical of Hoka, and mildly supportive. The black/blue color way is really sharp, and the shoe weighs next to nothing. I'm not seeing unusual wear on the sole, and I am waiting to see how many miles it will take before the foam breaks down. Can't speak to either yet. The shoe is a $$ bargain if it holds up. Fit and finish are strong. Laces are definitely too long. The tongue is long enough, and the response of the ride is really enjoyable--cushioned, with some personality--a personality I feel the Clifton 6 lacks. The ride feels "tight" in a good way. This shoe is worth checking out. Others have compared it to the NB Beacon. I don't see it. While I loved the NB Beacon V1 as a daily trainer, this shoe deserves its own category as a "daily racer."

Excellent, slightly wider than other Hoka shoes I’ve used. Amazing blend of cushioning, responsiveness, and light weight. I run faster with same effort in these shoes! 51y, 185lbs runner, maybe 25-35 miles per week.

Feel great!

I switched from Clifton 5 to this shoe and it was a good switch! I mostly wanted a lighter, faster shoe than the Clifton 5 felt. The upper is much lighter for sure, which gives the shoe a lighter feel right off. This makes the upper feel a little less stable than the Clifton, so it's not quite as "foot-hugging" as the Clifton which I wish it had. However, it does make me feel light and fast, and I really like that so can't really complain. The foot strike feel is almost exactly like the Clifton. I'm only a week and a 5K race into these shoes, but if the feel stays this way, I'll keep them for sure!
