Customer Reviews Hoka Rincon

Shoes have been great for Track and Field. Very comfortable

Perfect for my husband. He has had ankle fusion surgery and back surgery. His balance is horrible, but he can navigate with greater confidence wearing these shoes. This is his second pair.

I absolutely love this shoe. This is my second Rincon since they came out. After finishing the Lake Washington 1/2 marathon an hour ago, (after only 4 miles in this pair, previously) the feel is still with me. Actually one of the things I love most is the cushioning, a very comfortable ride, while also helping with push off. Very light weight and honestly don't even think about my shoes as I run, did I say they are comfy???

I recently started having pain in my right foot. I am very athletic and train hard a few days a week. Due to the anatomy of my foot, when I stand, all of my weight and pressure falls on the balls of my feet. Heavy walking lunges, calf raises, and box jumps put a lot of strain on my right foot due to bending my toes. With that, sesamoiditis was the diagnosis and these shoes work great for that. I have been wearing them a few days now and it decreased my pain within minutes of wearing these shoes. I did not receive a promotion or discount for these Hoka Rincon's. I am an athlete who started having pain and these are helping with my recovery. These shoes look funny but get the job done. I highly recommend these.

Very light with that great Hoka cushioning.

These shoes saved my first half-marathon. Though I was initially horrified by Hoka's maximalist aesthetic, I made the switch to the Rincons after developing arch pain on longer runs in my old shoes, and I haven't regretted it. The good: they're light, bouncy, breathable, and roomy in the toe box, with a pretty minimal upper. The stack is high, but drop's a lot lower than you'd guess from looking at them, which works well for me. The not-quite-so-good: the insole is almost non-existent—a 1mm foam sheet with no structure/support whatsoever—which seemed to result in me drifting toward the inner edge of the shoe after a couple of miles. On the plus side, it's very lightly glued in and easy to swap out with something more supportive, which is what I ended up doing. That said, anything thicker is going to make you ride higher in the shoe, which means possible toe rub and heel lift. These turned out not to be a big deal for me, but I'm not as picky as some folks about being locked into my shoes. On the whole, a fantastic shoe, though you may want to swap out the insoles. Definitely give these a shot!
