Customer Reviews Hoka Rincon 3

I like the way these feel when I'm wearing these Hoka tennies. But the tongue is so short that it is very hard to pull them on. If I don't use a shoehorn and undo the top laces, I can't even get them on.

Maybe it was just my foot but the Rincons were not comfortable. I bought a pair of Rincons and a pair of Bondi's. The Bondi's aren super cushioned and the Rincons felt very flat and hard.

He said "they are very light, but insanely uncomfortable".

Rincon 3 in black/white color is not black. Ordered multiple times and received what looks to be blue. Super annoying. They need to get their coloring correct. Do not order this color unless you want to get the wrong color.

This is too tight i wear size 11 in different brands i just got a Mach 4 that is more comfortable

The shoe quality seemed well built except the toung had zero padding. I probable would of kept the shoe but it was too thin so I traided it in on BONDI 8 X-WIDE which fit and feel GREAT.

I had the Rincon 2's and absolutely loved them, so I figured I would also love the Rincon 3's.. I was mostly wrong. I really enjoyed the color options for the 3's and ended up going with the light green model. Upon arrival I immediately noticed the major difference in the tongue design that caused issues with the way I lace my running shoes. The interior of the shoe also caused me some issues, as the fabric used seems to be slippery and causes the slightest movement of the shoe on my feet. It isn't enough movement to cause blisters, but is enough to be frustrating while wearing the shoes. The shoes look great but I can't see myself purchasing another pair in the future.

The shoe does not look anything like i thought it was going to and the heal design make me move side to side when I walk. That is one of the reasons I got them is to walk in. Proven not be so good for that. If I had to do it over again I would get the basic black and white Gaviota 4. Much to expensive for me to afford, but they looked like what I thought they would. I am disappointed and I do appreciate you asking me my opinion.

Hello, I love Hokas, but this shoe has a serious design flaw. I wear a men's 10 Wide and bought the Rincon 3 in June 2022. For shorter runs (up to 3 or 4 miles) it feels great. But it wasnt until I raced any 10K or over where the flaw came to light. The seam of the sole of the shoe on the insides of the arches leave a giant, 3-4 inch blister along the inside of my arches. I don't believe the width of the shoe is a problem, I've never had problems before ordering the same size of shoes from Hoka. My friend also had the same thing happen to her with these shoes. It's very strange. I was a week outside of the 30-day return guarantee when I discovered this issue. I would skip this shoe if you wear a wide size.

The Rincon caught my attention because of it's weight. The wide option was perfect. The only problem was, my big toe jammed into the front of the shoe on every run and some walks. Some support and cushion there may help. The tongue needs to be cushioned. You can't tie a true rubber lace with these unless you want to tie you laces to your ankles nobody wants to do that. Don't get these if you run forefoot/ ball of your foot. I have a girthy foot so this also might be my problem.

The shoes are used for walking

Unfortunately, this most recent pair does not measure up to the others I've had. I even have a different color in this exact same shoe and they are super comfortable, but for some reason, this pair does not measure up.

I love the color of the shoe, but aside from its appearance, there are no redeeming qualities as the shoe is very flimsy with little cushioning.

be careful when you order. i was told by the local Hoka shoe store i needed a wide. now when i walk i have to be very careful that i don't twist my ankle since the wide for hoka is wider than a normal wide. Not very happy with the shoe

a comfortable shoe, and light weight. I wear a 9 wide which is what I always have worn. however after first day I had a blister on my big toe. Sent them back, would have given 3 stars but still waiting for my refund.

I don't know if I can blame this on Hoka, but this shoe gave me a super sore knee after just a few runs. I went back to my bondis and after a couple weeks, I'm back to running pain free. In short, they might be lighter but the balance of cushion just didn't feel right. I'm a big Hoka fan, but these weren't right for me.

My feet still hurt

Tried these because after 2 pair of Challenger ATR 5s, I ordered the 6s and did not like how they are made wider and with a lower profile. I then bought another pair of 5s... However, these are impossible to find in my size now, so I'm trying to find my next model. Hated these because they are too plush and too low profile in comparison to the CA5s. Decided the Bondi 7s are more for me and next time I'll try the Bondi Xs because these are also a bit more plush than I prefer. Rincon 3s look amazing but for a guy my size they're not supportive enough.

I run ~100-120 miles a month but noticed significant west and tear in the tread after ~50 mi of us. Now that I'm around 100 mi in, the shoes already feel worn out and ready to retire. Not a good purchase for high volume runners.

Skimpy handle on back is hard to grip with big fingers. Narrow toebox. Tongue slides around even with heel locked down. Bring back Rincon 2.

I have owned 2 pairs of HOKA Cliftons for my walking and this time decided to go with the Rincons...bad choice. I wear a 10 Wide because I have a wide forefoot and my right foot is slightly larger than my left foot. Out of the box, these looked like a pair of D width shoes and fit like a D width. Thought they would stretch out over time. After almost 60 days, not only haven't they formed to my foot, I've had blisters on my right big and little toes. Totally my fault as I should have sent them back early on, but wanted to see if they'd stretch out a little. A well-made shoe with the cushioning you'd expect from a HOKA, but sizing in this model is off. Should have stuck with the Cliftons!

Rubber part of the sole that attaches to the rest of the shoe started peeling after a month.
