Customer Reviews Hoka Rincon 3

bought two other pair previously but this new pair are just ugly and too spongy for my liking. Bought online so I didn't get the full look and feel but won't do that again. Good shoes, just fell short on this purchase.

Very weak tongue. The color was different than what I thought I had ordered.

My podiatrist said with my inserts and HOKA shoes, I would be in heaven. My word was she ever wrong!!! They are the most painful shoe I have had in a while.The toe box is too small. They hurt my big toe and rubbed my bunion.

Don't like the tong of the shoes, super thin and cheap feet feel like they are going to bust out the shoes if I run in them. Don't usually need a wide, definitely need them for this model off shoes.

The shoes felt great but the heal is so soft that it was causing heel pain that I never had. I will be returning the sneakers.

I run about 70-80km per week and really enjoy running in the Clifton 9's. The only disappointing thing about this shoe is the longevity. I asked a Hoka Representative if there was anything like the Clifton but with a longer life to it. I take a wide shoe so she stated that the Rincon 3 was just like the Clifton 9 but it was lighter and would last longer. I got a 10 wide (just like the Clifton size) and it WAS COMPLETELY different. It's much more narrow and actually a bit longer than the Clifton. It is very light but doesn't support the heel well which isn't a huge deal for most people using them for a trainer I would imagine. It's a very pretty show and seems to be well made but very different from the Clifton and while it may last longer the width is much more narrow on the Rincon 3 wide model.

purchased for walking and these make my feet hurt. Not enough cushion for comfort

The Rincon 2 were so much better.

I love my Hoka's, the neurologist recommended them for my back and knees. They are great but the last 3 pairs I bought were worn out in 4 months...that is a hefty hit for a show that no longer last a few months.

Right shoe squeaks with every step.

Disappointed that the Rincon 3 sizing is not equal to sizing for previous Rincon and other models. I am returning this pair. I have purchased more than 10 pairs of Hokas and this model is the first time I have been disappointed.

They are a good shoe compared too other brands but not a good shoe compared to other HOKA SHOES.

I used it once. I have Bondi 8 and my size is 10.5 wide. I ordered the same for rincon and it was small for me. Amazing how the same company shoes have different sizes. I had to return it.

I bought the 2E and it doesn't feel right............I used them for a trip to the store and don't like them.

The Rincon 3's are very light and comfortable shoes. The problem is they will cause your feet to turn inward when walking. HOKA describes them as neutral in terms of stability, so not sure what that's about. If you look at the profile photo of these shoes from the back, you can clearly see that the shoes turn inward even when sitting on a flat surface. Not sure if this is a manufacturing defect but it is something they need to address. I have not run in these shoes and, yes, I realize they are running shoes but a lot of people also use running shoes for walking. Just be aware of this.

So I am new to Hoka so it bought a few different pairs. This is my least favorite. It's not made to the same standard as the other two.

The cushioning is great but the quality isn't. I've had these for about a month. The tongue on the left shoe kept riding down so I tightened the laces but that didn't help. I finally measured the tongues on both and found that they are not the same length. Usually by the end of a run, the top of the left tongue is down by the laces and not very comfortable.

They lasted me 2 days. A total of 20 miles walked and the sole was already totally messed up. They are comfortable but did not meet my expectations. Too expensive for such low durability

It fits OK, is lightweight, and very comfortable but I thought they would hold up a little bit better for the money. but I have already developed a small hole in the toe area, and I haven't had them very long.

I bought these shoes as a replacement for the Arahi 6 which were returned due to the insole giving me blisters on my heel. I tried the shoes on and they felt great and the colorway is awesome. After wearing them for 2 days though, there is a crease though in the toebox that goes right over the big toe every time I step off and becomes pretty painful if worn for more than 30-45 minutes. I'm not sure if I just got a bad shoe or if this is just how the shoe is because of the shape and fabric, but I'm not sure I can use them for what they purchased.

Best thing about these shoes were the color and aesthetic. Other than that, they were some of the more uncomfortable shoes I've ran in. In my training for a marathon, I've worn Brooks, Nike & Hoka but I had been running with these Hoka shoes for about 1 month until finally I couldn't take it anymore. I was getting such bad blood blisters on both of my feet that I could barely walk the next day. I had to stop running for a week to let my feet heal and then buy another type of shoes that didn't leave me in pain. Really was hoping these would be a better fitting/designed shoe because I loved how they looked.

Any sneaker that is made and now I've found 2 from HOKA that have a tongue that moved. When you walk the tongue recedes. A shoe tongue should stay in place when tied. The Speedgoat 5 also has this type of shoe tongue. I just had to return those as well.

Only a few months in the shoe has degraded in a few ways. First the toe box has stretched significantly making the shoe too big. The foam on the sole has worn and bended causing over pronation and ankle pain. The shoe now just feels uncomfortable and unpleasant to wear after only a few months of running.

This is my third pair of Hokas. This is the least comfortable of the three. I wouldn't recommend this version. I still love my other Hokas just needed an upgrade and I will most likely buy another pair just not this version
