Customer Reviews Hoka Rincon 4

I have seen these shoes when I visit the hospital because a lot of the nurses wear them. I saved up my coins and finally got a pair. When I wore them for the first time, I was shocked at how uncomfortable they are. I really wanted them to feel great but the absolutely did not. They are over priced and not worth the money to me. I do have foot issues but I usually wear New Balance and I never have concerns. I'm disappointed because I was looking forward to wearing them.

I recently purchased the Rincon 4 after loving my last pair of Hokas. This experience was not nearly as good. The shoe feels comfortable, but arrived with yellow spots and seem to have developed mold. I've never had a set of shoes do this before, so I won't be getting another pair.

I loved these shoes but haven't even had 3 months and the inside back of ankle is ripping bad on both shoes and I don't wear them daily and when I do its for a short amount of time

I thought I was going to love this HOKA Rincon 4. Unfortunately the longer I had them on my feet, not even walking, just wearing them for a couple of hours while watching football, I was very uncomfortable. They are too narrow for me and just not what I was expecting. I even bought a 1/2 size larger since I know I have issues at times with my normal size.

Fit is small and not enough cush or support. The base of the shoe is wimpy. Mens styles construction are better.

I'm so bummed. I loved my Hoka Rincon 3s so much. The toe box on the 3s was roomer and the over all shoe felt more cushioned and comfortable. These feel narrow in the toe box, stiff, and less cushioned. I love the color of the starlight glow which makes it even more disappointing that Hoka changed the fit on these. Most likely will be returning bc I have neuroma in my foot and this new version is likely to irritate it. Most Hokas are too narrow in the toe box for me but the wides are too wide in the ankles. Since the Rincon has changed I don't have many options in Hoka anymore and might have to switch brands.

The reason I bought my first pair of hokas was because my husband and son had raved on and on. They said it was the most comfortable shoe they had ever had worn. So much so that they have countless pairs between them.. I gave in and bought my first pair, Rincon4, only to be disappointed. While they felt great in the store, it wasn't until I got home and started walking longer distances that I began to experience discomfort on my heels. I tried different things like purchasing cushioned heel inserts, a thicker sock, a thinner, sock to help remedy the blisters I was experiencing. Nothing helped. I really wanted to love this product as much as my husband and son and maybe I would have if I didn't get the blisters. The cushion in the shoe is comfortable, but falls secondary to the pain from the blisters.

But my feet hurt so bad I stand all day and they don't help at all. Plus the bottom soul is not rubber they are slick I'd never buy again

Am I the only one?? These hurt! Too much padding. I loved that the Rincon I didn't have to stretch them out! Put my feet in and they were perfect! These don't feel the same at all. Don't like the added height either. The rincons were perfect for people who needed arch support for plantar fasciitis's kept my feet completely supported in every direction. So many people I met said the same they were a God sent! I am buying up any Rincon 2 or 3 I can find on any site on the internet! In any color so I still have a shoe that is perfect for my feet! These feel like the bondi too me. Please please please please HOKA change it back! My feet hurt again in these! My calf's hurt too! I can hike run walk for miles in my 2's and 3's!!! I was the happiest person ever when i found them and been singing the praises of the 3's from the rooftops but the 4's no no no! To those of you who are thinking of getting them they aren't even close to the same!!

Only lasted 94 activities so like 94 uses before the arch collapsed but if you don't weigh 250 then you may have better luck.

Tried to run in these twice and they are just not comfortable at all. There's a spot near the inner ankle that rubs like crazy.

Shoes fit to small not good quality

I have many foot issues and have tried SO MANY brands and makes of shoes it is absolutely ridiculous. I have tried out multiple Hoka styles and the original OG Rincon was the Golden Ticket. I wore them 10 - 12 hours daily and they provided me with so much relief, it was a miracle. I wore out two pairs and I haven't worn out a pair of shoes since I was a kid. I went back to Hoka to get another pair and found they had "improved" the Rincon and were on Rincon 3. Those are not the same. Then came this one - Rincon 4 - and I gave it a shot. Nope. I don't know exactly why the shoes get reworked and I don't know what specifically changes - all I know is that they don't work for me anymore. This version has a smaller overall feel, the toe box has much less room and I had major heel slippage. My foot literally moved up and down in the shoe with every step, which has not happened with any other Hoka style. The pair I received had obviously been worn and had staining on both the toes. I was flabbergasted to see that the trim around the opening of the shoe seemed to be unfinished at the ends - it isn't sewn or glued or melted - it just is ragged bare material. I think that is going to fray over time and in any case, it looks ugly. These are expensive shoes and that doesn't seem right to me. Finally, I miss the glorious colors that Hoka used to have for their shoes. The last couple of years it seems to be all bland and beige and really ugly earth tones. Hokas were once a major help to me and now I can't find any that work for me at all. Seriously disappointed. I would pay A LOT for a pair of original Rincons.

I finally gave in and bought a pair after hearing people say they were very comfortable. I have found that these shoes are not any better than the sketchers that I have for half of the price. By the end of the day, my feet hurt and swollen. These shoes are not comfortable at all for a 12 hour Day.

I wish you hadn't altered Rincon 4. Rincon 3 was so instantly comfortable. The 4 version made my feet ache. I had to return them.
