Hoka Rincon 4

Hoka Rincon 4 review: what runners say

Fit

Narrow fit, especially in the forefoot and toe box: most sources recommend sizing up half a size. The heel offers little hold on narrow feet.

Feel

Firm, responsive ride with moderate cushioning that filters impact without feeling deadened. The MetaRocker promotes smooth transitions, but lacks the energy return of Hoka's more performance-oriented trainers.

Durability

Estimated 600–700 km according to the Italian source after 150 km of testing. The dual-layer rubber EVA outsole shows less wear than previous versions, which broke down between 100 and 150 km.

Best for

Lightweight daily trainer for moderate paces and quality sessions such as fartlek and tempo runs. Suitable for some track work as well; less appropriate for active recovery or very easy paces.

Weak points

Narrow forefoot and low-volume upper: flagged by every source. Insufficient grip on wet surfaces due to the rubber EVA outsole lacking deep lugs.
