Comments: This is one of the best shoes I have ever run in. I've owned two previous versions of the Rincon, but version 3 is the best edition yet. Super light and responsive. The new tongue of the shoe is perfect. I use this as my do it all shoe, though it's not marketed as a trail shoe it performs quite well in the dry desert. You can't go wrong with the Rincon 3.

Comments: Well hot dang... I honestly didn't like them at first because they required a 20-mile break-in period, but now are one of my two favorite shoes in my rotation (honestly think they take the #1 spot though). So the first impression, the tongue felt a bit rough, and the ride kinda jolty. All that went away after the first week of easy use though. Literally. No. Complaints. Nothing. I tore through the Rincon 1 exposed EVA in about 15 miles and barely got them past 100 before they went "flat" and lost all responsiveness. The 3rd iteration of the shoe is at about 40 miles so far, but hardly any damage to the EVA feels bouncy and rolls nicely at speed. As long as they hit above 200 miles without going flat, these are for sure a 5-star rating for their price and how versatile they are.

Comments: Not a big fan of the Rincon 3 right now. The paper-thin tongue sucks. I don't know why Hoka gave up the minuscule amount of tongue from the 2 for this new iteration. I have tried everything to dial into keeping the tongue pulled up but it continues to mark up and irritate the top of my foot. Hopefully, Hoka will hear enough of these types of reviews and make a change moving forward.

Comments: The Orange/Fiesta Hoka Rincon 3 is an excellent shoe and in great colors! We use the Rincon as a training shoe with fantastic cushion for hard surfaces and great durability. Unlike some shoe brands that collapse quickly, the Hoka Rincon 2 and Rincon 3 hold their cushion and remain consistent over time.

Comments: Got these and took them out the very next morning on a 17 mile run. Simply put, they felt great. They felt light on my feet but with plenty of cushioning. Has a great balance of "springiness" and softness. Since then I've taken them on all of my weekly long runs, including my recent marathon. You can do literally do anything from speed runs to marathon distance. While I may go with Mach 4s for shorter races (10 miles or less) I will easily use the Rincon 3s for everything else (including a variety of training runs). Durability, which was an issue with both the Rincon 1s and 2s seems to be solved. I have over 150 miles on these and there is virtually no difference from the first day I put them on. The only negative (and it's minor) is the little string on the back of the shoe to assist you putting them on. I tugged a bit and it snapped off (not it's just hanging on one side). It's more of just an eye sore. Anyway, this is one great shoe (probably my favorite Hoka ever) and I will likely buy another pair this Spring to keep in my rotation.

Comments: This is my second dance with the Rincon after enjoying the first version for about 150 miles and then it losing some of its shine thereafter. Hoka has claimed that they have focused more on durability with this third iteration and so far I believe them. There is more rubber on the outsole than I remember and the shoe still feels light and bouncy but doesn't seem to be wearing as rapidly (at least visibly) compared to previous iterations. I'm a bigger guy at 6'4" and 215 pounds and these shoes seem to be holding up quite well at about 50 miles. With that out of the way, I am convinced there is no better shoe for $115 before sales than this shoe. It runs true to size and has a nice feeling upper with excellent lockdown. It is awesome to run in and can reward any type of foot strike as well as the meta rocker makes the transition to toe off feel seem less and I love the energetic ride that still provides enough cushion for longer efforts. I spent a week and a half where the Rincon 3 was my only running shoe while on vacation and used it for speed work, easy days, and long runs and it was a treat to run in each time.

Comments: Great shoe! Great fit. Feels very close to the original Clifton to me! Only negative is the tongue. Hopefully with the next Rincon Hoka will bring the tongue up little bit higher!

Comments: So far I'm not that impressed with the Rincon 3. Compared to the Ricon 2, the 3 does not have the same "soft and springy" at least to me. The 3 feels more firm. Maybe it will break in after 60 miles, but now it's not exactly what I was expecting. If the shoe feels like it loses its spring after 100 miles as the 2 did, it will be the last Hoka for me. I'm 5'11 150 and run 50-60 per week.

Comments: The foam is bouncy, neutral ride that feels stable, great rocker, and all in a light package. I had issues with version 1 because of a sloppier fitting upper that led to my toes sliding over the edge of the midsole. Version 3 seems to have a more dialed-in upper with a smoother ride than V1.
