The RW Takeaway: The Rincon is the Hoka we’ve been waiting for since the release of the original Clifton—it’s light, soft, and fast.
In testing, I’ve worn the shoe for everything from sub-7-minute miles in New York’s Central Park and a 31-mile jog around Manhattan to a long trail run in the Adirondack Mountains over muddy and technical singletrack. It’s protected me during those longer, slower efforts, but still has the pep I want when it’s time to step on the gas.With the emphasis for this shoe being lightweight and soft, Hoka used its tried-and-true EVA compound.
When on the road, you transition from heel strike to toe off quickly thanks to a tweaked “Meta Rocker”—the sole is rounded just behind the ball of your foot. In our testing, we found that the rocker felt less obvious than in other Hoka shoes, making the Rincon work well for heel strikers and forefoot runners alike.Pat Heine
The only gripe from testers is about the exposed foam on the sole: It tends to show some wear prematurely. Of course, you never want to see your new shoes literally breaking down. But, in this case, it’s fine. The sole is comprised of a bunch of protruding pods, and the wear we’re seeing happens first to the bottom-most layer of that foam. There’s still a lot of midsole between your foot and the road.
