Customer Reviews Hoka Rincon 3

Great fit but parts of the soles wore out and came off after 11 months of normal/ intermittent wear. My other hokas didn't do thius. Manufacturing issue with the soles!

Love my Hoka. It is my third pair.

Size and fit was great but I felt that there was no arch support. Sad because I really liked the style of these shoes

This was 1st pair of HOKA that I tried and they’re not for me, the outer heel-sole is too squishy. I need support. I replaced the inner sole w my aetrex insole and then they don’t fit- my heel slips out - So I can’t wear my own insole. They’re extremely light weight if that’s what you’re looking for. And outer sole is too squishy if that’s what you’re looking for. Not for me.

Size & fit true just not as comfortable as Bondhi 8

too snug for my width (D) not as comfortable as bondi 7&8.

This is a cute shoe, it felt small though and really did not feel like a good choice for a long distance walking shoe. Nice subtle color instead of the typical HOKAs I’ve seen.

Now I remember why I stopped buying Hokas a 1,000 years ago when nobody knew Hoka - blisters because of a narrow toe box. AND I'm now buying a wide instead of regular but no matter - blisters even with blister-free socks. I haven't had blisters in years but, then again, I haven't ordered Hokas in years either. Felt comfortable when trying on in the house and the first two walks were fine (probably because of the socks) but now I'll be donating both pairs and getting something else. $250 down the drain (two pairs), despite reading reviews that indicated the toe box was larger on this shoe. However, Hoka have done the best at eliminating my knee pain so if they could ever get the toe box wide enough, I'd never switch again!

I love Rincon 2, I have several pairs. I regret my purchase of Rincon 3: 2 pairs (evening sky/ocean mist, eggnog/rose). They are worn and boxes are gone. Writing this review to help you avoid my mistake. Be sure to pay attention to 2 things, before you throw out the box and/or wear outdoors: (1) the scallop plasticy tongue of the shoe and (2) width of the sneaker. Let me start with width of the shoe... it is slightly more narrow than Rincon 2... i need to wear a thin/lightweight sock to overcome that. I thought that was the only issue and it was an easy fix, so I wore them outdoors. [Separate aside: I have a normal width foot with medium arch. My pinky toes are short/small. my feet are not even remotely wide]. here's the big mistake: I was not paying enough attention to the new tongue on Rincon 3. It is plasticy and curves around the foot (look at the picture closely, you'll see what i mean, it isn't the cushy soft tongue of previous shoes whose edge runs straight across). It might seem like a clever design to curve the tongue of the shoe around the foot... but that is great ONLY IF the tongue stayed in place (which you know, generally does not in most shoes, right?). Sure enough the tongue of this Rincon 3 moves to the side a bit, which causes the scallop edge to rub against my foot with every footstep. I wear low or no show socks, so that plasticy edge rubbing against the bare skin of my foot with every footstep gets old, once you become consciously aware of it. I discovered that Injini socks (which I wear with flip flops), a crew style, helps with the discomfort, as it shields my skin from the plasticy edge of the scalloped tongue. But, it's not an attractive look cuz the 'injini' logo shows right there above the tongue (not a good look). Anyway, i either live with that or give them away. It is my bad that I did not do more due diligence by wearing indoors and saving the box. Normally i do that, I just was not paying attention to that tongue. I hope the Rincon 4 (if they release it) does not have that tongue, or I will have to go look for another running shoe. The only other HOKA style approved by my osteopath is Bondi, but boy that shoe is very clunky looking AND ironically runs narrow (it numbs the pinky toes). Rincon 2 is attractive and functional. Fingers crossed that the Rincon 4 will not have the same tongue as Rincon 3 and that the regular width of the shoe is workable.

Felt flimsy compared to other Hoka's I have worn. Sole was too squishy, not as supportive. I always buy the more expensive ones, and that is probably why.

Large for my foot. Thank you.

Shoes it’s perfect color but do run small due to the front
