Customer Reviews Hoka Rincon 4

It's a great shoe but they run a little small. I had to break them in and wear a thinner pair of socks. Now I know to go up a 1/2 size

I like the padded tongue and a little more room in the toe box. What I don't like is the material over the top front puckers. It is not smooth like previous models.

Love the color; cushions foot falls nicely. Tread seems to be wearing unevenly, and faster than I would have expected (& I'm "easy" on my shoes - they usually last a long time.)

I'm a casual runner - I run for fitness, not goals. 3-6 miles 3x a week. I appreciated the Rincon 3 for being inexpensive, moderate stack, protective, flexible and lightweight - like a stripped down Clifton. The Rincon 4 is still all those things. The new foam and outsole feels denser and firmer, and I miss the lightly cushioned feel of the Rincon 3 - this is an inexpensive shoe and I don't need it to last forever, lightness & comfort are more important. I find the R4 still true to size - yes it's a snugger fit but I find it to be better overall; the R3 seemed a touch long and roomy in the toebox, and the bucket seemed narrower. That said I'm a C width, so a slightly narrow fit suits me. I think if Hoka makes this a bit softer and a touch roomier in the next version, it will be great.

These are so light and comfortable, and awesome to do a 10-mile run in, but the sole sure does seem to wear out quickly. I've had mine less than six months, with many of my runs coming on a treadmill, and there are flat spots that really shouldn't be there. If you know going in that these aren't a long-term option, and maybe that's why the price is lower than other Hokas, then these are a decent value. It's a shame because they're as comfortable as anything Hoka has made.

I followed HOKA's advice and sized up a size when I purchased these. Now my feet slide around in them. They would be very comfortable otherwise.

Bought this model for my husband. He's a size 16.... not so easy to find shoes in his size and not all Hoka's come in 16. To boot his foot is narrow. This shoes works for him to reaps all the benefits a Hoka offers. However, due to his narrow foot the shoe bunches a bit when tightening the laces.

Size are smaller, so 1 size bigger than what you need

I reviewed these earlier but I need to change my tune a bit. I am dedicated to the brand so I didn't return these when they caused me some pain at first. They have held up very well over four months of daily use. The outsole tread is still intact and the arch support is still there. Very durable and all the issues I discomfort I had with these subsided as the shoe and my foot made some small adjustments. Stick with these if you can - you'll be glad you did. I am.

absolutely great for long distance walking and always on your feet 8 hours a day for 5 days a week

This is absolutely great for long distance walking

Could some better insoles, these are paper thin.

I ordered 2 pairs of shoes, a Bondi8 and a Rincon4. The Bondi8 fit perfectly, but the Rincon4 ran small. I'm on my 2nd exchange for a wider, larger size. I like the shoe but definitely order a half or whole size larger.

The do a lot of walking all day on concrete floors and no foot pain at the end of the day
