Hoka Rincon 4

Hoka Rincon 4 review: what runners say

Fit

Narrow fit, particularly through the midfoot and forefoot: the majority of sources recommend sizing up half a size. The heel lacks containment for runners with a slimmer foot.

Feel

Firm and responsive ride, less soft than previous versions and the Clifton/Mach 6 siblings. The MetaRocker delivers a smooth transition; ground feel is direct and present.

Durability

Full-coverage rubberized EVA outsole: estimated 600–700 km versus 100–150 km on previous versions. At 150 km, wear is visible but limited.

Best for

Lightweight daily trainer for neutral runners on asphalt, optimal at moderate to uptempo paces. Works for quality sessions such as fartlek and intervals; less suited for slower recovery runs.

Weak points

Narrow fit, especially in the toebox: flagged consistently across nearly all sources. Reduced grip on wet surfaces due to the rubberized EVA, which offers less traction than traditional rubber.
