Customer Reviews Hoka Rincon 4

I moved forward with purchasing these with high hopes even though they came with mixed reviews. I have a lot of heel pain and out of the box, these shoes aggravated that pain. I replaced the insoles and the heel pain went away (due to my insoles) but they still forced a posture of sitting back on the heels, which also aggravated my lower back pain. I will be returning these.

We’ve purchased Hoka sneakers and walking boots for 6-7 years. These sneakers are lousy. My wife has rotated wearing these two pairs so they have have only lasted 1 1/2 months. Terrible

Felt cheap

These “brand new” shoes arrived stained on top. This is why I am returning them.

First of all, I am a HOKA fan.. I have loved every pair I've owned before these. I bought these because they were running a sale on them, and from what I could tell they seemed to be much cuter than your typical clunky HOKA. When they arrived they definitely were much cuter than the typical HOKA, but right away I noticed issues. The top of the lip on the heel has a hard edge in it, which doesn't even make sense. Even for a quick walk in the morning I feel it. I was hoping it was the socks I was wearing.. it's not. I love the style so I was really hoping I could make these work, but I went for a more intense run this morning and ended up with a blister on my Achilles for the first time in years. These shoes are crap. Do not buy. Very uncomfortable. And honestly they feel flimsy/junky on my feet compared to the other styles I've worn. Sad I mustve deleted my receipt because I can't even get reimbursed a website credit so I can replace them. :(

This shoe is terrible. It's very flimsy and cheaply made. I got injured the first time wearing it because it is so unstable.

Felt the shoe was incredibly stiff and did not have a cushion feel that a typical hoka has

The Color didn't match the photo and the size was way too small

Unfortunately I had to return the shoes, they were too wide for me. Loved the look and feel of them but too wide.

Rincon 3 was the best. Had to return due to running small. I have bought hoka shoes and loved them. This one runs small for a wide width and is poorly designed.

The shoes do not fit my feet correctly. This is my third pair of Hokas, but the front is too tight for my toes.

I broke 3 hours in the Rincon 1s. I BQ'd in the Rincon 2s. They were incredibly versatile and lightweight. They were decent for a track workout and fine on a trail. I can't believe Hoka has the audacity to brand these shoes as Rincons. The Rincon 4s are terrible. They are uncomfortable on the road, excruciating on trails -- they are even uncomfortable to walk in! I have been running for over fifteen years. I've completed six marathons. I ran in college and I ran in high school. My first case of plantar fasciitis ever happened in a pair of Rincon 4s. It's heartbreaking for me to write but after six years of running in Hokas, after so many great running memories in Hokas, the Rincon 4 will be the very last time I buy a pair of Hokas.

Rincon 3 was my absolute favorite shoe. I never had issues with the 3. I am not loving the Rincon 4. I will not purchase Hoka's until the 4 is changed.
