Description
Cloud-weight cushion, built for the long haul. Renowned for its startling cushion-to-weight ratio, the Rincon 4 received a top-to-bottom makeover to ensure the uber-light softness it’s famous for lasts through even more miles. Upgraded foam provides better rebound while increasing longevity, and works together with rubberized EVA to make each step feel softer than the last. With a durable podular outsole design and a more foot-hugging fit than before, this daily trainer is engineered for a longer life without weighing you down.

Good, even if it doesn't feel like a Rincon
Good, but don't expect it to be a copy of the Rincon 3. Still serviceable as a daily for lighter-gait folks and for speed work. It fits narrower (like a Mach), and the heel cup is a bit lower and less snug than the 3. Hoka seems to have enhanced the tread durability, though I regularly put 500-600...

Tread Worn Down in Under 100 Miles!
My Rincon 4s were delivered 7/22 and I've only worn them 8 days (8.5-9 miles each day, walking on asphalt road). I have 14 pairs of Hokas, mostly Rincon 3s but also Zinals and Challengers. I trade off every 2 days to a different pair (to match my walking outfits and also to give them a chance to br...

i MAY OR MAY NOT BUY AGAIN
Used it for every day shoe and it works ok. Tried it for running and it is terrible. Tried it for a workout and it was not bad but not the best
Fit is good but slippery
I like that these have a snug fit compared to the Rincon 3s. Traction is slippery compared to the 3s because the 4s no longer have the vibram-like inserts on the sole.

Size fits a little small
The shoes are nice, but they fit a little tight in the toe area
Uncomfortable s
I have worn these shoes several times, I have worn these shoes several hours at a time. These shoes are super uncomfortable.

Comfort is out top priority and of your pair isn't comfy, feel free to get them back to us through our 30-day guarantee bit.ly/HOKA30Day for another style that'll be sure to provide a comfy, cloud like feeling. Perhaps a plush style, like our Bondi 9, is what you're looking for. You can easily exchange your pair here: bit.ly/HOKAEXRT.
Not for me
This shoe has a narrow feeling even when ordering it in 2EE. It is lightweight good for every day running/walking but doesn't feel like it has much cushioning which I like in a shoe for my needs. I did buy the bondi 9 and for me they were the right shoes for my feet.

Thank you for taking these for a test ride. We understand each person has unique needs, and we're thrilled you found such great comfort in the more accommodating fit of our Bondi 9. If you're considering a secondary option, the Gaviota 5 offers a similarly spacious feel with added support, thanks to its H-Frame™ technology. Designed to keep you stable and confident with every stride.
Good support but sole is way too soft
Fits and feels very well. But after less than 20 miles of running, the left heel is already showing wear.
uncomfortable
As I already throw the box having trust no issues. But when I put that on it's very uncomfortable. I wasted my money

We never want you to feel you regret your purchase. Your comfort is our top priority and our 30-day guarantee bit.ly/HOKA30Day allows you to send back your pair, with any secure packaging, for another style if you don't love them upon arrival. Perhaps a style with more cushion, like our Bondi 9, could be just what you need.
I love these shoes!
I got the Rincon 4 for everyday casual dress. I have the Mach6 shoes for running. I am currently training for my first Ironman 70.3, St George. I usually wear hiking type of shoes for casual dress. Yesterday after a 10 mile run in my Mach6's, I was I put on these Rincon 4's for the rest of the day. My feet and knees love these shoes for recovery. Just walking about a half block down to the mail box and back was a delight in these shoes. I am super happy with these shoes.
