Comments: I just received these and immediately tore them out of the box to try them on. They are the lightest Hokas I've owned which is ultra-important to me. I don't like to feel like I'm running with cement blocks. I love the cushion they provide too. I have owned other styles, but never Rincon. I really like the cushion they offer, much more than my last pair of Hoka Arahi's. I love the bright, vibrant colors of these shoes too. Well done, Hoka!

Comments: I loved the former Rincon models but this one was disappointing. Very light, but feel flimsy and has no real cushioning. On longer runs, you can feel the concrete. Had to return these sadly as I started to develop pain in my knees and shins (no change in mileage or workouts).

Comments: I liked these 100% better than the Rincon 2 -- they're a tad wider in the forefoot, and the upper material seems more breathable. They still aren't a shoe that's going to last more than maybe 200-250 miles IMO, but they're pretty cushy and comfortable for long runs. I did wear them in a 50k race and they weren't quite cushy enough for that, but otherwise, these are a great value. You can't beat the cool colors, either.
