Customer Reviews Hoka Rincon 3

I've worn these for five 12-hour shifts now, and I'm not sure I'm sold on them. Right shoe feels like the padding is higher than in the left shoe. They feel harder than my first pair of Rincons. Will wear for a couple more shifts before I decide if I'm keeping them.

Not sure what all the rage is about - just okay for the price

I am on my feet all day as I work in healthcare. I really wanted to love these shoes because I love the color scheme of the black/white Rincon 3. However, this style really lacked enough cushion in the heel area for me. Regretfully I had to send them back.

I have worn the Rincon for the past few years, loving them. However, two things changed with the Rincon 3. The tongue of this shoe where it meets the ankle is no longer padded and it digs into the top of my foot, creating pain while walking/running. Please bring back the padded tongue. Also, the colors offered are awful. Please bring back some of the more neutral colors; maroon, blue, black. Other than this, it's a great shoe with lots of support for walking/running, hence the 3 stars. Also PLEASE bring back the women's Hupana! That was my favorite everyday sneaker!

I have run a few times each week over the past few weeks since I got my HOKAS. The first couple of times was amazing but now it is like the umph is gone. The right shoe is making a noise like the cushion is gone.

I truly love Hoka. Thought I'd try a different style. But these shoes did not fit how I expected. I noticed I've developed toe/joint pain during my longer runs (>8 miles). Did not have this with Mach or Clifton which I have several models and have run several half marathons and plan on running a marathon or two in the next year.

I had bought a pair of Boundi tennis and love them. Bought it for orthopedic purpose. These new pair I bought are not as good as the Boundi. They are not as coushioned as the Boundi ones. They are comfortable enough but because I need more coushion I will continue To buy Boundi.

Very nice looking shoes and feel great initially. At the end of my 10 hour shift though, my feet, knees and back were hurting. I have used HOKA shoes for several years now. These just didn't compare to others.

These are some of the most comfortable and breathable wide width sneakers I've ever owned. I thought I'd be giving them 5 stars based on comfort alone. However, I've only done about 50 miles of walking with them and there are areas of the tread on the underside that have already completely worn out. Granted, I am a heavy person, but you'd think a wide width shoe would be able to withstand the weight of the wearer. I've never had a sneaker this comfortable, but I've also never had a sneaker wear down this quickly.

HOKA's are becoming increasingly popular and as I searched for a good running shoe for an upcoming 5K I found the Rincon 3's to be quite comfortable (in store). However, as I began running in them, I began feeling calf pain which could be because of training in a new shoe. About 1.5 miles into my run my feet started feeling like pins and needles, with my toes becoming numb. I stopped at about 2.7 miles in because running felt painful. I walked home and the tingling didn't subside until 5 minutes after having my shoes off. I decided to give the shoes another shot but the same exact thing happened again! I knew I had to return them because I never had a problem like that with my New Balances (which I swear by). Since then I have gotten the Arahi 6's which have amazing reviews and look forward to running in.

I bought these for daily running. Pros: Lightweight, the tongue design is comfortable, the upper material is nice. Cons: Run really large. I could've sized down a whole size from my regular running shoe size. The bottom of the shoe is foam that looks and feels (for lack of a better word) cheap and like it would discolor easily. The shoe feels flimsy when on and laced up. Could be that these are just not the right Hoka model for me, so will go to Fleet Feet in the morning and see if there are other options.

The sole is not adequate in supporting my plantar fascitis.
