Customer Reviews Hoka Rincon 3

I have used Hoka's for over five years now and love the shoe. All of the Clifton's have been great but I have struggled with the Clifton 8 fitting properly so I purchased this shoe. A little stiffer, less padding and cushioning. Great shoe but not what I was needing related to cushion for an older set of knees and lots of miles of training. It would be a solid shoe for race day.

Not as wide as other brand wide shoes. Tongue of shoe very short. For the cost not nearly the shoe as the bondi 7.

When I first bought these shoes I was excited about how light and bouncy they were. However, the more I ran in them the more calf injuries I sustained. You might think well sure that's a part of running. But, I've been running for about 12 years now religiously; fun runs, half marathon etc. There's just something about this shoes design that causes higher strain in the calf compared to other running shoe brands. Hope Hoka looks into it.

I haven't been very happy with my last couple of Hokas. I'm not sure if I'm getting the wrong brand but I've been disappointed with the last couple. I returned one and this one isn't too much better. I didn't get the awesome feel like I used to. I'm concerned with customers service as well since my last encounter was less than I had hoped.

The Ricon 3 would be one of the best all around Hokas I've ever ran in if it were not for the tongue. They are very light and bouncy, feels good running fast or slow in them , but the tongue is a complete joke. It's way to short and thin. Every time I have run in mine the tongue will fall so far down on my foot that it causes my shoe to come untied. Ran a 5 miler last night and had to stop and retie my shoes 3 times. I've tried lacing them differently, tieing them super tight and nothing works. Don't know what Hoka had in mine when they designed a awesome shoe with the tongue at least a inch short. Bummer

The Rincon 1 is still my favorite running shoe, other than the original Clifton 1. The Rincon 3 has been made softer with a bit more stack height. Kind of lost some of its "ground feel" and responsiveness. Very different from the Rincon 1 and 2. I will not be purchasing the Rincon 3.

Blisters on the bottom of my big toes due to the inner sole wearing through. I've only had these for 6 months when it became so bad I could no longer use them for pickleball.

I liked the shoes, but, they hurt my feet. To narrow.

Made a mistake. Should have ordered a slip on.

This is my second pair of HOKAs. My first pair WERE AMAZING. I still have them after 3 years and they are still nearly as comfortable as the day I bought them. This pair did not match my expectations. My original pair was like WALKING ON A FLUFFY HEAVENLY CLOUD!!!! The new pair are the right size. They are just not as SOFT AND SPONGY as my original pair. I'm disappointed. I rotate between my original 3 yr old pair and the brand new pair.

Do mainly treadmill walking. Was disappointed. Seems rather flimsy. The YELLOW dye from the cushioning or tongue has gotten on my WHITE socks. Not impressed

I'm really glad I found these shoes on sale, but even with the discount, the price is simply too high. Unfortunately, they don't run true to size and tend to be slightly smaller than expected. Also, they push my foot towards the other, causing discomfort and strain on my ankles. The insoles are also disappointingly thin and poorly made, making the overall quality of the shoes feel cheap. Considering the high price tag, I think I'll be better off opting for shoes from their competitors. That way, I can save some money while still getting a more comfortable product.

My favorite thing about HOKAS is the comfort and ease of getting them on. I love my Clifton's because I can slip them on with ease and they are big and comfortable. These shoes weren't the same at all. The tongue is paper thin and falls down into the shoe of you try to slide them on. They are a hassle to get on so I won't wear them much. Wish I bought the Cliftons.

I am not quite a fon of these shoes they are lacking in ach support and do not feel comfortable to me. I will not be buying these again. However my husband bought the same shoe different color and he is ok with them.

I sent them back they were not true to size and did not fit

I tried a couple times to break the sneakers in, but after walking about a mile, my heel and knee bothered me. These are not as comfortable as the other HOKA's I purchased

When I first purchased the shoes 3 weeks ago they were great. Now not so much. My feet and knee hurt, I am losing skin on the ball of my feet, and they are no longer comfortable. I tried putting my arches in and they do not work in theses shoes. I am frustrated because I needed them for work where I am on my feet all day

Second survey, the pair i received is not like what i have bought in the past. The right shoe has very little padding. Big difference in just walking, much less going to the gym. My heal was very painful after the third day. I bought inserts from the good feet store. Heal felt better but the shoe doesn't fit properly with inserts. Rubbed blisters on my toes. With the cost of the shoes should not have to buy extras to make my foot feel right. Again this is my second survey.

I own nothing but Hokas. I'm a huge fan. Even my hiking boots are Hokas. But this pair that I bought on sale is not so great. I can feel my feet pronating inward in a way that is not comfortable.

Love the colors.Was told to order regular size, but they are too short. Ordered through Rakuten on Hoka site. Not getting any help from either one. Called and emailed with no results. My shoes are still sitting in the box they came in.

I've bought from Hoka before and I love their brand specifically the Bondi 8 shoes, those are their best ones, but the Rincon shoe is just not well made. The one I got had a tear in the lining before I even put it on. I only wore the shoe once and knew it just wouldn't support my feet. That's the other thing, this shoe had the cheapest insole ever. I hope Hoka can make better shoes going forward.

I have purchased a few HOKAs in the past. They were all fantastic! I grabbed these because my current Challenger 6 are wearing down after use (I ruck 4 miles, 4 times a week). The Challenger 6 were amazing. I bought these to take their place and these were on sale. Big mistake. I need to go back to something comparable to the Challenger 6.

I ordered the Rincon 3 for the 3rd time in early Dec 2023. I have enjoyed these shoes enough to wear out two separate pairs. Unfortunately, the ones I received last week have a completely different feel. While the older ones almost felt like you were walking on air, this pair felt like you were walking barefoot on a wood floor, they are very stiff on the heel. I don't know what they are doing differently now, but they shouldn't change the characteristics of a shoe and still call it the same model as before. My wife also bought the women's Rincon 3 and has the same issue. We are returning them this week.

I have several pairs of Hoka and pretty much love them all. This pair, though, just aren't the same. Slightly too small despite being the exact same size as the other 5 pair. My feet also tend to lean in when I walk while wearing them. I wish I hadn't worn them outside and could send them back!
