Since I started purchasing Hokas three years ago, I have not quit. They are the best shoes I’ve ever had and prevent even my thin metatarsals and tendency for plantar fasciitis from keeping me off my feet. I’ve had both the Rincon and Clifton varieties and loved them both. However, these are a grade below my last Rincons. In the first place, they’ve replaced the cushy tongue with a thin one that tapers like a stiff bandaid. It literally cuts into the top of my foot under the laces. I can’t figure out why they would choose to eliminate padding there. Second, the footbed in general is not as cushioned as all my other Hokas, which is irksome: the main reason I have become loyal to this brand is the superior cushion and comfort that has prevented injury.

My last Rincons made me feel I could fly; they were light and fast. These just don’t seem as nimble.That said, they are attractive and probably still better than many other brands. But I had anticipated the arrival of this shoe and it just didn’t deliver.

I love the Orange one I bought for its best color combination of the top and the side of the cushion color! It is very comfortable to wear them. When I bought it, I did have a concern when I see the bottom of the shoes about its durability and sturdiness. So I wore them carefully, and not as often. Since this is really the only pair of color I would really like and I hope it can last for me. But very sad after I being so careful with less wear, I still discovered one day in the bottom of the shoe, one of the portion peeling off. And I sadly had to return it. It was within one year. I told the store that I did not wear that much and I have never seen any sports shoe being so easy to break. The manager at the time still try to tell me there is sign of being worn.

Even with minimum wearing for about 10 months, it should not have the bottom break off. I was not happy that she expect this as a new shoe when I returned, and I truly did not even want to return it. Because this is the best color and shoe design among all the Hoka line, and most comfortable for me to wear. and I could no longer find my size to purchase another one. I just wished HOKA used more durable material. Not to fail me in less than 10 months with the most careful and less frequent wearing.

I stumbled across these shoes by chance, I originally came in to try on the new Endorphins however due to no stock I stumbled across these. I've been running in the ON Cloudstratus for years, they were okay but so heavy which felt like I was slapping the ground during runs.Transitioning to the Rincons was easy, I had my doubts at first with the size of the heal in the Hoka's but was pleasantly surprised. The slopping of the sole creates and almost propelling effect when you run. In my first week I ran 40kms in my new Rincons and they felt incredible and light to run in.If your used to a more firm shoe it may feel Strange at first, But you will be surprised.The materiel breathes too which is a nice added bonus.Sizing is true. I'm a 6.5 standard, Worth trying ... MoreI stumbled across these shoes by chance, I originally came in to try on the new Endorphins however due to no stock I stumbled across these.

I'm a 6.5 standard, Worth trying on the shoe if you have a wide foot as they may be considered a slightly narrow fit. I have a slightly high arch, it was no trouble to add in some insoles - Plenty of room left in the shoe.I've really enjoyed my transition to the Rincons and recommend them to anyone doing or planning to begin long distance running.Fantastic for your half marathons and time trails.

I bought these a couple of months ago to replace my Torrent 2. I loved the color, but unfortunately these didn't work for me. I have very thin/sensitive feet and the tongue really irritated the top of my foot and kept slipping down. I also have plantar fascitis and these didn't provide enough cushion for me. It wasn't too painful while walking, but was very painful when driving or standing. I had to return them. On the plus side - I got many compliments on the color! I am going to try a pair of Torrent 3.
I first bought a pair because i saw my personal trainer wearing them. I bought a pair after just getting brooks when i started going back to the gym. I have got to say these are the most comfortable pair of shoes i have ever owned and give great support when working out. I even forget im wearing shoes at times because of how comfortable they are. I got my first pair on Jun 2nd and im happy to say i have bought 2 more pairs since then. Another for me and my mom. My mom has severe knee pain with no cartilage in her knee and all shoes were still causing her to have knee problems but after her owning a pair of Hoka shoes she doesn't have the intense pain anymore in her knee. I highly recommend these shoes.
I purchased the Rincon 3 to use for treadmill running only, as I wanted my Clifton 9s to get a bit more life on road/trail and was tired of cleaning them for indoor use. I ordered the same size as my Cliftons and the fit was perfect. Rincon 3 are less cushiony than Clifton 9 but have been a comfortable, economical choice for indoor running. It's nice to have a few models as options in a pinch in case budget or availability or intended use are constraints.
I have been using hoka trail shoes and wanted to try their road offerings. I have the mach 4 which are great but hard to go slower in so I decided to try these for more daily runs. They are so light! When I got the box it felt empty! Love the colorways on the upper but note the tongue is really short for some reason so I changed up the laces to help. They are cushiony without being soft and perfect for daily mileage, easy runs, recovery runs. I think I'd prefer a more engineered upper and bounce for a longer run but to be fair I haven't done runs longer than 10km in them yet. I sizes up half a size because they are narrow. I think they fall in the same category as the Saucony Axon which I think is slightly better but it's personal preference.
Spent 1 hour with customer service to be told that my new Rincom 3 Evening Sky shoes which are leaking blue dye and staining my socks is not covered under warranty. Unbelievable. I offered to send pictures of my destroyed socks but he suggested I just blot the shoes with a warmth cloth to remove the excessive dye. As an alternative, the agent suggested I could exchange the shoes because I bought them November 28th but that would mean I would be probably 1 month without shoes - unacceptable.
Just received my 3rd pair of Hoka runners. Rincon 3 are my favourite model and I was afraid they would be discontinued as I see new models becoming available, and more expensive. I walk a lot, I’m not a runner, and can say wearing these for 8+ hours a day is totally doable. My feet don’t burn as they do in other brands of runners. My granddaughter even told me all the kids are wearing Hokas at her high school!!!I plan to wear these on our upcoming European river cruise. Best running shoes EVER in my opinion.I love Altitude Sports, fab product line and delivery is top notch!!
Comfortable from the first day I wore them and since, high quality and durable material in today's most fashionable colors!!!! Will never go back to any other brand!!! Loving them and so are my neuropathic feet; 🦶 I thank the good Lord everyday for shoes like these otherwise I don't think I could meet the physical demands of my job as a nurse! Theses hokas don't dis's appoint!
