About this product
The Hoka Rincon 4 is a neutral daily training shoe built around an impressive cushion-to-weight ratio, arriving in a Frost and Skyward Blue colorway. At just 8.04 oz with a 5 mm heel-to-toe drop, it delivers balanced cushioning without unnecessary bulk. The updated two-layer midsole features upgraded foam for improved rebound and extended longevity, paired with a rubberized EVA outsole in a podular design that softens each footstrike. Hoka's rear foot-focused Active Foot Frame keeps the foot seated securely, while the smooth MetaRocker geometry promotes a fluid, efficient stride. The engineered double jacquard upper and padded tongue contribute to a more foot-hugging fit compared to its predecessor, making the shoe feel tailored through longer efforts. Sized slightly small according to customer feedback, so going up half a size is worth considering. Overall, the Rincon 4 is a well-rounded road runner suited to high mileage without sacrificing that signature lightweight feel.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Hoka Rincon 4 for its impressive cushion-to-weight ratio, excellent breathability, smooth rocker geometry, and strong value at $125. The firmer CMEVA midsole is widely noted as an upgrade over the Rincon 3, offering better energy return and improved longevity. Many find it well-suited for tempo runs and distances up to the half marathon. The most common complaints center on fit: the shoe runs noticeably small and narrow, with multiple reviewers recommending going up a half to full size or choosing the wide version. Durability of the rubberized EVA outsole is also a recurring concern, with some users reporting faster-than-expected wear. Long-time Rincon fans note the ride feels significantly different from previous versions.
