Thanks very much for the 10/10! 🙏 I know what you mean, it's when you really know how a shoe is going to feel and run 👍 Thanks for watching and the support! 😊
I am thinking of buying, did they hold up well after the first 50? I have seen that a lot of people say the outsole is bad, but stops getting worse; is that true?
I'm about 15O miles into my Rincons and I love them. I found the Clifton's to be too heavy and am delighted at how light and comfortable the Rincons are. Thanks for the review!
No worries Kelly 👍 Really glad you're enjoying your shoes! I'm not a fan of the Clifton either, it's a bit to clumsy for my taste. Thanks for watching the channel and don't forget to subscribe to keep up to date with future content 🙏
Ran about 300 miles in the Rincon so far and would totally echo your comments. The shoes have felt better and better the more i run in them. The shoe it reminds me of, and this is showing my age, is the Nike Terra T/C which was some kind of magical piece of foot equipment. I would say that the Rincon is one of the best shoes I have ever worn.
Thanks for watching the channel John 👍 Glad you're enjoying your Rincons, I can't say I've heard of the Nike Terra but it sounds like a great shoe! 😂 Thanks again and don't forget to subscribe to our channel to keep up to date with future content. Stay safe 🙏
@@Run4Adventure Thanks for the reply! and great reviews. the Terra TC was from the early 1980's, it was one of the first shoes that was cushioned and super light like the Rincon, it used something called phylon in the midsole, they were like magic shoes...
Purchased the Rincon 1’s last night. I preferred the open mesh and also the midsole is the same as the Rincon 2’s. Will utilize this for recovery runs. Thank you 💯 for this review.
Totally agree Rob, if you can get the first Rincons cheaper, go for it 👍 The Rincon 2 is pretty much the same shoe 😊 Thanks for watching the review I'm really glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Just found your channel! Great stuff! I love the Rincon. I have about 250 miles on mine, and think they’ll get to 300-350 miles as the outsole is pretty worn and I can feel the midsole starting become “spongy”. But for the price point I’m happy with that kind of mileage. 👍
Awesome glad you've found us! 😊 Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍 The midsole on mine are still really good but the out sole is heavily worn now. I should get about 400-450 miles out of them 👌
Run 4 Adventure - I’m sold on these Rincon’s. I’ve never ran in Hoka’s before until now. Previously, I’ve been running with Newton Gravity’s. Hoka is much easier on my knees and lower back. I could tell after my first run. So much so, I already bought myself a second pair. Loving it. Keep up the great videos.
This review and comments are the first I’ve seen that praise the Rincon at/after 200 miles. I loved mine but they went flat at 180 miles. Many other have said the same. It sounds like you are much less sensitive to midsole flattening. I have to say I must really grit my teeth to buy another pair. I truly love Hoka, have owned 19 pairs, but they have to fix the midsole durability! Currently run in Clifton 6 and Mach 2 along with NB Beacon.
Hi Eric Thanks for watching the review 👍 Really? I actually manage an independent running shop and we've sold lots of Rincons, to runners of all shapes and sizes and I haven't heard that from any one? I've heard nothing but positive feedback from everyone. That's definitely not happened to mine, they still run great! I've been running in Hokas for 7 years on road and trail and covered 1000's of miles and I've never felt that happen? Obviously as runners we are all definitely, different weights, different foot strikes and we break shoes down differently 👍 Hope you enjoyed the review 😊
Run 4 Adventure yes I did enjoy the review, especially with this different experience. I thought I may have gotten a faulty pair but have found lots of similar comments from other reviewers and commenters to include FOD Runner in UK and commenters on Kofuzi and Seth DeMoors reviews. I really do hope I am wrong but given other comments I’m not optimistic. Then again you have more direct experience with the shop.
I’ve also heard the Rincon doesn’t last very long, which I can believe having run in the Clifton 6 which flattened out after 300 miles. I’m relatively light and light on my feet:
Thanks Ernie that means a lot! I know what you mean, I'm seeing a lot of content that I'm not convinced with 🤔 I'd say cushioning wish they are very similar, nothing in it really. Thanks for watching and your kind words 🙏
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍 I've just added to my sock collection, a couple of colourful pairs of Stance socks 🧦 I'm also going to do a video on running socks on a few weeks time. Thanks for the great support as always 🙏
I have the Rincon with about 70km and I can say that they are one of the best asphalt shoes, if not the best, that I have had in my life. They manage to combine three tremendously difficult things: cushioning but with response, simply perfect upper fit and little weight. That makes it a tremendously versatile shoe with which you can do everything on asphalt. Ginger Runner just did a you tube review of the Rincon 2 and says he prefers 1. The 2 has a denser upper than the Clifton so it is not as light as 1, and takes longer to adapt to the foot It also makes it warmer (where I live in the South of Spain that is not a good idea). As it says, it is worth waiting for 3 to see if they improve the sole. I suggest you try the Brooks Divide, it is like the Rincon, a Trail shoe that has it all. It has surprised me greatly for trail running. And on top of that it has a great price. The problem is that it does not have the fame of Cascadia, but in my humble opinion, it has nothing to envy. Thanks for the video!
Hi Alvaro Thanks for watching and I totally agree the Rincon is a great shoe! One of the best I've had and believe me I've run in a lot of different shoes over the years 😊 Yes the Divide is an interesting shoe from Brooks at a great price. I work in the running industry and I was really surprised by it to, it's been a popular shoe for Brooks 😊 I've seen the Rincon 2 and it's really not a massive change to the upper! I could hardly notice the difference really. I don't think it'll run that much hotter so you should be fine with it 👍 Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the review 🙏
Run 4 Adventure Thanks for your quick response! I stay calmer. It is a joy that they do not change so much since Hoka, as you say, soon runs out of stock. Congratulations for your channel and for the videos: they have a lot of quality both in content and editing and production (I see many video reviews) and I really like the good vibes you transmit: it shows that you are passionate about running. Much encouragement and continue so you will go far! a hug!
@@alvaropacheco5891 No worries Alvaro, really glad you're enjoying the channel. We put a lot of time and effort into the content on the channel and when we get lovely feedback like yours it makes it all worth while 😊 Thanks you 🙏
That's great Hector! Really glad you like them 👍😊 Those trails aren't going anywhere. When all this madness is over you'll get lots and lots of awesome trail running miles in 🏃😊 Thanks for watching!
Great review very honest!!! i have them and I feel the same way they are just great!!! I give them a 8.5/10 because of the outsole just wear down to fast on the street(road pitch) .
Thanks very much really glad you enjoyed it and agree with what we found 👍 You're right it is a great shoe and I'm hoping in the Rincon 3 they'll sort out that outsole 🤔
Solid review man! I'm looking to pick up a pair but I'm not sure what size to go for. I'm usually a size 8 US in Adidas shoes and 8.5 in Adidas Ultraboost, and I'm generally a size 8.5 in most Nike flyknit shoes and runners. Do you have an appropriate comparison and have any suggestions?
Hi Evan Thanks and thanks for watching it's really appreciated 👍 I've got a few Nike shoes in a uk9.5 and my Rincons are a uk9.5 and they fit the same. So if I was you I'd get the Rincon in a US 8.5, hope this helps 😊 Don't forget to subscribe to our channel to keep up to date with future content, happy running 🙏
Hi Jimmie Thanks very much! Unfortunately the Rincon is quite narrow, it really depends how wide your feet are? Hoka make the Clifton 6, it's still a lightweight, neutral road running shoe but they offer it in a width fit which might help? 😊 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel and don't forget to subscribe to keep up to date with future content 🙏
I’m at 145 miles in my rincon. Some wear on bottom. A slight tear on instep left foot. Great shoe but I wonder about its durability. I prefer the wider fit of Clifton 6.
Yeap the outsole definitely needs more blown rubber! 👍 My upper has held up really well to mileage. Have you got quite a wide foot? The Rincon is pretty narrow 😊 I've just got hold of the Rincon 2 so they'll be a review on the channel soon. Thanks for watching the channel I hope you enjoyed it 🙏
It was a great shoe Kenny that's for sure! If you loved the Huaka the Rincon would definitely be worth a try 👍 Thanks for watching the channel I hope you enjoyed the review 🙏
Yep the outsole is definitely a weak point in the shoe like I highlighted in the review 😁 I'm pretty sure I'll still get a good 400-500 miles out of them though👍 I'd like to see some more blown rubber on the outsole it would make a massive difference to the durability of the shoe that's for sure. Thanks for watching the channel I hope you enjoyed it 🙏
quick update: my Rincons are now in ~450mi. That's basically the end of them. The upper is still perfectly fine, but the sole is shredded almost flat and the foam is also worn/pressed down. At the mid/forefoot contact, where most of the sole is gone (even part of the rubber surface), now the shoe tends to bend more flexible than the rest. The shoes is noticeable not that firm and boncy any more. I can say that I enjoyed the Rincon so much, that I ordered 2 more pairs. One for training and one pair to save for the net major raceday, for the rest of the year. I truely hope that the next version of the Rincon will be as good, because none of my other shoes performed so great (HokaCarbonx, BrooksGlycerin, BrooksAsteria, HokaTorrent)
That's great to hear Ein 👍 I totally agree it's a great allrounder! You'll be glad to know the Rincon 2 is pretty much the same shoe 😊 It's had a slight tweak to the upper and is a few grams heavier but I don't think you'll feel the difference. Thanks for the comment 🙏😊
I am same mileage and yep the outsole is minced but the shoes still feel bouncy thought they do feel like they are generally breaking down-running on rough trails has not helped but i still love this shoe...
I think you're right! I'm sure they'll be a few pairs floating about cheap but I do know that Hoka had a shortage of stock of the Rincon. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed the review 🙏
Awesome! Really glad you enjoyed it 👍 It's a great running shoe, you'll enjoy them. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe to our channel to keep up to date with future content 🙏
Great review. Are you still holding on to your original Rincon and what is the mileage now? Really surprised it can last so long for you. Mine the midsole just went dead after 200 miles. It gave me shin pain if I continue wearing it. I stopped, recovered, wore other shoes no problem, came back to the Rincon, shin injured again immediately. I quickly threw my pair away. The shoes really matter for me to remain injury free.
Thanks Gundam 👍 I've still got my original Rincons, I don't run them anymore but not because I couldn't but I've got the new Rincon 2's so I tend to use them. I've done a good 450-500 miles in them and I could definitely still run in them 😊 Have you had your running gait looked at before? Are you sure your gait is neutral? If it's not the Rincon is soft and deeply cushioned and might run unstable which could cause the midsole to break down quickly? 🤔 Just a thought but it might be worth checking especially if you're getting shin pain. What's the other shoe you run in that doesn't give you shin pain?
@@Run4Adventure haha.. Tq for your advice. I'm not alone on this with the Rincon, read some other reviewers commenting the same too. This is the only pair that gave me this problem. I have many pairs like the adios series, kinvara series, Brooks Launch/Ghosts, Turbos, 4%, Next% all no issue.
@@livegreatalways no worries 👍 Clearly the Rincon is not the shoe for you then! I know and run with a lot of runners that use and love the shoe and don't have issues with it 😊 But that's running shoes it's such a personal thing. I really don't get on with the Brooks Ghost and I think the Lauch is super uncomfortable but that doesn't mean it's not going to suit you 😊
So here's a question maybe you can answer! Loving my Rincons, but am curious as to why so many people ALSO run in the Clifton. The Rincon is lighter and faster, but plenty of folks seem the think it's plenty cushioned for long runs. So why do you think people would ever choose the Clifton over the Rincon?
I totally agree Chris 👍 It think it might be fit, the Clifton give a bit more width in the toe and it comes in a width fit 😊 I think some runners just like more shoe and a softer midsole. Personally I love a light shoes and i don't want it really soft so the Rincon is perfect 👌 I've just started running tin the Rincon 2 and it's just as good as the original shoe 😊 Thanks for watching the channel 🙏
It's the only thing that let's this shoe down Simon 👍 A part from that it's a great running shoe. Thanks for watching the channel and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
Glad you liked the Rincon, sadly my experience with Hoka was spoiled with the Clifton 5. Just didnt like it, how it fit or felt. Not for me. For the Rincon fans(and there's alot of them) the Rincon 2 is pretty much the exact same shoe lol. How much more milage do you think you will be able to get out of your Rincons?
Hi Kevin That's a same you never got on with Hokas but I wouldnt judge all there shoes on the Clifton 5! That wasn't there best shoe that's for sure, it was a bit of a dog 😕 I recon ill get a good 500 miles out of the shoe 👍 You're right about the Rincon 2 pretty much the same shoe, which I'm very happy about. Thanks for watching the review and commenting. Don't forget to subscribe to our channel to keep up to date with future content 🙏
Hello! I'm thinking between the rincon vs carbon rocket. But I'm still undecided what to get. My criteria is just to get a faster shoes without compromising the durability.
Great review. I’ve got a pair of Rincons and found them a little tight in the upper but no discomfort. I’m surprised and confused about ‘retiring’ of shoes. You said you’ve ran 700+ miles in some. What’s your opinion on retiring shoes and when to do so? Eg 400-500 miles as most suggest. I ask as i got injured and retiring them before they go, could prevent injury which is what I blame my injury on.
Thanks Owen 👍 Yep the Rincon is quite narrow in the toe box but a great shoe 😊 When it comes to the distance you get out of your shoes it is very personal. I tend to stick to around 450-500 miles in my road shoe but I have had shoes that I've got more out of. It's a bit different when it comes to my trail shoes, I've had lots of trail shoes that I've taken over 500 miles because the terrain is so much more forgiving! 😊 To be honest it's very rare for an injury to be caused by just a shoe. It tends to be several things that lead to an injury, over training, no strength work, the body maintenance (stretching /rolling /massage) as runners we put way to much effervescence on shoes being the cause of everything 😊 At the end of the day its just a pair of shoes 👍 Hope this helps 🙏
I love the concept of Hokas but I tried speedgoats and they trashed my feet under the arches and just trying on other styles I can feel the seam of upper and midsole just behind the ball of the foot so wont risk them again. Shame as trying them on I love the cushioning
Yep unfortunately Hokas don't work for everyone Ian 😕 I know of a lot of runners who have the same issues with the brand! I hope you've found a shoe that does work for you and thanks for watching 🙏
The rincons and beacons are my favorite lightweight versatile trainers... with that said, if you want a lot of cushioning and arch support, I’d recommend looking at Nike infinity reacts. They are a little heavier then the Clifton’s but they feel lighter, have the hoka style rocker and much more bouncy then any HOKA’s I’ve ran in.
Spot on. Just retired mine at 250 miles though due to the lateral outsole wear. I was starting to get some discomfort on the side of my legs after doing longer runs in the shoe. I was also very disappointed to see that the Rincon 2 hasn't got any additional rubber on the outsole as I was sure that they would fix this problem 😢 However, I will definitely buy another pair soon as they are the best road shoe I have found for me and if I can get some on sale anytime soon they will still be a bargain for my longer steady runs as I can't do without them now 😊
I know Mark I was disappointed to! I definitely thought they'd put a bit more rubber on the sole? 🤔 I've still got a 200-300 miles in mine but once they go I'll definitely buy another pair 👍 I'm sure the Rincon 3 will have a bit more rubber 🤞 Hope you enjoyed the review and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
That's awesome David, really glad you found us! 👍 The Carbon X is a very different shoe that takes a bit of getting use to. I personally would choose the Rincon and I've actually run a couple of Marathons in it and it performed really well 👌 Hope this helps and don't forget to subscribe to our channel to keep up to date with future content 🙏
@@Run4Adventure i am hitting subscribe button as we speak. Appreciate the reply means a lot to me. One last question will the rincon be more of a plush run as compared to rincon in yiour opinion. Ok thanks again, off tomorrow from work I have all weekend to catch up on your videos!
If you mean would the Rincon be softer than the Carbon X then yes. The Rincon isn't as soft as say the Clifton but it's got a nice level of cushioning but it's still really responsive 👍 Thanks so much for your Sub and enjoy the videos! 🙏
Hi Lloyd I'm looking for an all rounder the hoka one one rincon sounds just like What I'm Looking For is the fit true to size or do I need to go up a half great vid🙂👍
Hi Antony Yep the Rincon is true to size 👍 I'm a UK 9.5 in most shoes and Rincon fits perfectly in a UK 9.5 😊 Thanks for watching the review and I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙏
It's such a personal thing a running shoe Anik. It depends on how you run and move through you Gait cycle, heel striker, forefoot etc. Also the shape of your foot and if you like firm shoes, soft shoes, the list goes on. The best thing to do is go to a good running specialist shop and speak to them and try lots of different shoes on 👍 but if you can't do that here's a list of consistent performing shoes 😊 Brooks Ghost 13/14 neutral Nike Pegasus 38 neutral Hoka Mach 4 neutral Saucony Ride 14 neutral Hoka Clifton 8 neutral New Balance 1080v11 neutral New Balance 860 structured Saucony Guide 14 structured Asics Kayano lite 2 structured Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
I know it’s a neutral shoe, but does it provide _any_ stability? I typically need at least some stability. Hoping it has just enough stability for me to give it a try.
Hi Simon It's definitely just a neutral shoe but Hokas have quite a wide base and quite a bit of rigidity through the midfoot. Your also slightly sunk into the midsole so you have a slight guide rail in the shoe. What would you normally run in shoe wise? Also Hoka do make shoes with structure in, the Arahi 4 is a pretty good shoe 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel and don't forget to subscribe to keep up to date with future content 🙏
Im not used to shoes with a lot of cushion and trying to decide between the rincon and clifton for my long runs (10-13 miles). Any advice? Will the clifton have too much cushion?
Hi John Cushioning really is a personal thing but I'd say if you not use to a lot of cushioning in your shoe then the Rincon is the better option 👍 I personally think it's the better shoe as well, I don't know anyone who hasn't enjoyed running in the Rincons! 😊 It's lighter, more responsive and more comfortable than the Clifton 👍 Good luck with your shoe choice, hope this helps and thanks for watching the review.

Run 4 Adventure sweet! Thank you. I was leaning towards the rincon but ive also heard theyre better for up to 7 mile runs. I think that’s more for people who really focus on time and training though. I dont think itll make a difference for me as I try different shoes a lot and am pretty used to adapting to them
Hi Louis I'd definitely recommend the Rincon before the Bondi! The Rincon is super lightweight, really responsive and it still has a nice level of cushioning. The Bondi is a bit to heavy, a bit to bulky and very soft! It's OK for slow recovery runs but a part from that it's not that responsive. Hope this helps and don't forget to subscribe to our channel to keep up to date with future content 👍 Stay safe and keep on running 🙏
Hi Robert I'll probably run them to around 450-500 miles 👍 Yeap I'll be getting the Rincon 2's that's for sure and we'll be reviewing them on the channel 😊 Thanks for watching the channel Robert its really appreciated 🙏
I've had the Rincons for a month and done over 150 miles in them. Durability doesn't seem that bad and they haven't gone flat (like some reviewers sat they do). The shoes are very narrow, though, and I had to switch to better insoles to avoid getting blisters on the sides of my feet. I have the 1080v10s which I really like, but I tend to grab the Rincons or Pegasus 37s for most runs.
That's a shame it's a great running shoe 👍 Maybe it was a bit to narrow on fit? It's definitely a narrow shoe. Thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
Yep there sure is! I did mention in the review that the new Rincon 2 is pretty much the same shoe just with a few more over lays on the upper. It should run and feel pretty much the same and I'm very happy about that 😊 Thanks for watching the channel hope you enjoyed the review 🙏
Good work mate, you're the only one who reviews shoes at 200 miles, where you can actually feel what shoe is all about. 10/10
Thanks very much for the 10/10! 🙏

Congratulations for your channel and for the videos: they have a lot of quality both in content and editing and production (I see many video reviews) and I really like the good vibes you transmit: it shows that you are passionate about running. Much encouragement and continue so you will go far! a hug!
@@alvaropacheco5891 No worries Alvaro, really glad you're enjoying the channel. We put a lot of time and effort into the content on the channel and when we get lovely feedback like yours it makes it all worth while 😊
Thanks you 🙏
I got the Hoka One One Evo Jawz after I saw your review. I loved them, but I only made it to the trail less than 10 times before the pandemia... 😑
That's great Hector! Really glad you like them 👍😊
Those trails aren't going anywhere. When all this madness is over you'll get lots and lots of awesome trail running miles in 🏃😊
Thanks for watching!
you dropping new content Loyd keeps distracting me from my day job lol!!! Keep up the great work :-)
Sorry Jon 😂😂😂
Unfortunately there's lots more coming your way! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙏
Great review very honest!!!
i have them and I feel the same way they are just great!!! I give them a 8.5/10 because of the outsole just wear down to fast on the street(road pitch) .
Thanks very much really glad you enjoyed it and agree with what we found 👍
You're right it is a great shoe and I'm hoping in the Rincon 3 they'll sort out that outsole 🤔
Won that colorway at a Hoka event. My fave do-everything trainers aside from my Nike Turbo 2s.
Nice win! Thanks for watching the channel 👍😊
The closest thing to the original tracer they've released. what a great shoe
Yep it sure is! I told you it was good 👟💥
The one of best shoe of hoka . Thank you for video
No worries thanks for watching the channel, really glad you enjoyed it 👍😊
Ordering my Rincon 2s today.
Awesome Grant 👍
Really hope you enjoy them, it's a great shoe 👌
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
First shoe I bought two pairs of. Super versatile.
Solid review man! I'm looking to pick up a pair but I'm not sure what size to go for. I'm usually a size 8 US in Adidas shoes and 8.5 in Adidas Ultraboost, and I'm generally a size 8.5 in most Nike flyknit shoes and runners. Do you have an appropriate comparison and have any suggestions?
Hi Evan
Thanks and thanks for watching it's really appreciated 👍
I've got a few Nike shoes in a uk9.5 and my Rincons are a uk9.5 and they fit the same. So if I was you I'd get the Rincon in a US 8.5, hope this helps 😊

Great review. Do you think this would work for runners with wide feet?
Hi Jimmie
Thanks very much! Unfortunately the Rincon is quite narrow, it really depends how wide your feet are?
Hoka make the Clifton 6, it's still a lightweight, neutral road running shoe but they offer it in a width fit which might help? 😊
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel and don't forget to subscribe to keep up to date with future content 🙏
I’m at 145 miles in my rincon. Some wear on bottom. A slight tear on instep left foot. Great shoe but I wonder about its durability. I prefer the wider fit of Clifton 6.
Yeap the outsole definitely needs more blown rubber! 👍
My upper has held up really well to mileage. Have you got quite a wide foot? The Rincon is pretty narrow 😊
I've just got hold of the Rincon 2 so they'll be a review on the channel soon. Thanks for watching the channel I hope you enjoyed it 🙏
My first Hoka was also the Huaka best running shoe I’ve ever had
It was a great shoe Kenny that's for sure! If you loved the Huaka the Rincon would definitely be worth a try 👍
Thanks for watching the channel I hope you enjoyed the review 🙏
200 miles in a pair of Rincons! That is amazing in and of itself as the outsoles are made out of pencil erasers 🤪
Yep the outsole is definitely a weak point in the shoe like I highlighted in the review 😁
I'm pretty sure I'll still get a good 400-500 miles out of them though👍 I'd like to see some more blown rubber on the outsole it would make a massive difference to the durability of the shoe that's for sure. Thanks for watching the channel I hope you enjoyed it 🙏
I just saw a review from a guy who did 500 miles with it and seems to hold well
quick update: my Rincons are now in ~450mi. That's basically the end of them. The upper is still perfectly fine, but the sole is shredded almost flat and the foam is also worn/pressed down. At the mid/forefoot contact, where most of the sole is gone (even part of the rubber surface), now the shoe tends to bend more flexible than the rest. The shoes is noticeable not that firm and boncy any more. I can say that I enjoyed the Rincon so much, that I ordered 2 more pairs. One for training and one pair to save for the net major raceday, for the rest of the year. I truely hope that the next version of the Rincon will be as good, because none of my other shoes performed so great (HokaCarbonx, BrooksGlycerin, BrooksAsteria, HokaTorrent)
That's great to hear Ein 👍
I totally agree it's a great allrounder! You'll be glad to know the Rincon 2 is pretty much the same shoe 😊
It's had a slight tweak to the upper and is a few grams heavier but I don't think you'll feel the difference. Thanks for the comment 🙏😊
I am same mileage and yep the outsole is minced but the shoes still feel bouncy thought they do feel like they are generally breaking down-running on rough trails has not helped but i still love this shoe...
@@JohnBrown-be6re it's a super popular shoe John 👍
Thanks for watching the channel 🙏
Best shoe of 2019. Hope to be able to buy a few cheaper pairs once the Rincon 2 arrives.
I think you're right! I'm sure they'll be a few pairs floating about cheap but I do know that Hoka had a shortage of stock of the Rincon. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed the review 🙏
I check running warehouse daily for them to go on sale. My bet is the first week of June it will go on sale.
@@Yes-ml4bw I think you're right Will 👍
Solid review man. gonna get this thanks😃👊👍

Thanks Steve, I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
Crystal clear review!!!😁subbed!!!👍👍👍😊
Awesome, really glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for the sub 🙏
Great review. Are you still holding on to your original Rincon and what is the mileage now? Really surprised it can last so long for you. Mine the midsole just went dead after 200 miles. It gave me shin pain if I continue wearing it. I stopped, recovered, wore other shoes no problem, came back to the Rincon, shin injured again immediately. I quickly threw my pair away. The shoes really matter for me to remain injury free.
Thanks Gundam 👍
I've still got my original Rincons, I don't run them anymore but not because I couldn't but I've got the new Rincon 2's so I tend to use them. I've done a good 450-500 miles in them and I could definitely still run in them 😊
Have you had your running gait looked at before? Are you sure your gait is neutral? If it's not the Rincon is soft and deeply cushioned and might run unstable which could cause the midsole to break down quickly? 🤔
Just a thought but it might be worth checking especially if you're getting shin pain. What's the other shoe you run in that doesn't give you shin pain?
@@Run4Adventure haha.. Tq for your advice. I'm not alone on this with the Rincon, read some other reviewers commenting the same too. This is the only pair that gave me this problem. I have many pairs like the adios series, kinvara series, Brooks Launch/Ghosts, Turbos, 4%, Next% all no issue.
@@livegreatalways no worries 👍
Clearly the Rincon is not the shoe for you then! I know and run with a lot of runners that use and love the shoe and don't have issues with it 😊
But that's running shoes it's such a personal thing. I really don't get on with the Brooks Ghost and I think the Lauch is super uncomfortable but that doesn't mean it's not going to suit you 😊
So here's a question maybe you can answer! Loving my Rincons, but am curious as to why so many people ALSO run in the Clifton. The Rincon is lighter and faster, but plenty of folks seem the think it's plenty cushioned for long runs. So why do you think people would ever choose the Clifton over the Rincon?
I totally agree Chris 👍
It think it might be fit, the Clifton give a bit more width in the toe and it comes in a width fit 😊
I think some runners just like more shoe and a softer midsole. Personally I love a light shoes and i don't want it really soft so the Rincon is perfect 👌
I've just started running tin the Rincon 2 and it's just as good as the original shoe 😊
Thanks for watching the channel 🙏
Run 4 Adventure Agreed! Thanks for the response and for the great reviews!
@@chrisl3856
No worries Chris anytime 👍
Agree about edgeware
It's the only thing that let's this shoe down Simon 👍
A part from that it's a great running shoe. Thanks for watching the channel and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
Glad you liked the Rincon, sadly my experience with Hoka was spoiled with the Clifton 5. Just didnt like it, how it fit or felt. Not for me. For the Rincon fans(and there's alot of them) the Rincon 2 is pretty much the exact same shoe lol. How much more milage do you think you will be able to get out of your Rincons?
Hi Kevin
That's a same you never got on with Hokas but I wouldnt judge all there shoes on the Clifton 5! That wasn't there best shoe that's for sure, it was a bit of a dog 😕
I recon ill get a good 500 miles out of the shoe 👍 You're right about the Rincon 2 pretty much the same shoe, which I'm very happy about. Thanks for watching the review and commenting. Don't forget to subscribe to our channel to keep up to date with future content 🙏
Hello! I'm thinking between the rincon vs carbon rocket. But I'm still undecided what to get. My criteria is just to get a faster shoes without compromising the durability.
They're both fast shoes! Obviously the Carbon Rocket is stiffer because of the Carbon plate in the midsole so it might run a bit quicker 🤔
The outsole looks bad after wear but works exactly the same. Really is cosmetic
Yep totally agree 👍
Thanks for watching the channel 🙏
It’s a shame they don’t deliver to the Middle East.
Great review. I’ve got a pair of Rincons and found them a little tight in the upper but no discomfort. I’m surprised and confused about ‘retiring’ of shoes. You said you’ve ran 700+ miles in some. What’s your opinion on retiring shoes and when to do so? Eg 400-500 miles as most suggest. I ask as i got injured and retiring them before they go, could prevent injury which is what I blame my injury on.
Thanks Owen 👍
Yep the Rincon is quite narrow in the toe box but a great shoe 😊
When it comes to the distance you get out of your shoes it is very personal. I tend to stick to around 450-500 miles in my road shoe but I have had shoes that I've got more out of. It's a bit different when it comes to my trail shoes, I've had lots of trail shoes that I've taken over 500 miles because the terrain is so much more forgiving! 😊
To be honest it's very rare for an injury to be caused by just a shoe. It tends to be several things that lead to an injury, over training, no strength work, the body maintenance (stretching /rolling /massage) as runners we put way to much effervescence on shoes being the cause of everything 😊
At the end of the day its just a pair of shoes 👍
Hope this helps 🙏
I love the concept of Hokas but I tried speedgoats and they trashed my feet under the arches and just trying on other styles I can feel the seam of upper and midsole just behind the ball of the foot so wont risk them again. Shame as trying them on I love the cushioning
Yep unfortunately Hokas don't work for everyone Ian 😕
I know of a lot of runners who have the same issues with the brand!
I hope you've found a shoe that does work for you and thanks for watching 🙏
The rincons and beacons are my favorite lightweight versatile trainers... with that said, if you want a lot of cushioning and arch support, I’d recommend looking at Nike infinity reacts. They are a little heavier then the Clifton’s but they feel lighter, have the hoka style rocker and much more bouncy then any HOKA’s I’ve ran in.
Spot on. Just retired mine at 250 miles though due to the lateral outsole wear. I was starting to get some discomfort on the side of my legs after doing longer runs in the shoe.
I was also very disappointed to see that the Rincon 2 hasn't got any additional rubber on the outsole as I was sure that they would fix this problem 😢
However, I will definitely buy another pair soon as they are the best road shoe I have found for me and if I can get some on sale anytime soon they will still be a bargain for my longer steady runs as I can't do without them now 😊
I know Mark I was disappointed to! I definitely thought they'd put a bit more rubber on the sole? 🤔
I've still got a 200-300 miles in mine but once they go I'll definitely buy another pair 👍
I'm sure the Rincon 3 will have a bit more rubber 🤞 Hope you enjoyed the review and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
Just found your channel and love it. Which one you choosing to run a marathon in. Rincon or carbon x?
That's awesome David, really glad you found us! 👍
The Carbon X is a very different shoe that takes a bit of getting use to. I personally would choose the Rincon and I've actually run a couple of Marathons in it and it performed really well 👌

@@Run4Adventure i am hitting subscribe button as we speak. Appreciate the reply means a lot to me. One last question will the rincon be more of a plush run as compared to rincon in yiour opinion. Ok thanks again, off tomorrow from work I have all weekend to catch up on your videos!
If you mean would the Rincon be softer than the Carbon X then yes. The Rincon isn't as soft as say the Clifton but it's got a nice level of cushioning but it's still really responsive 👍
Thanks so much for your Sub and enjoy the videos! 🙏
Yes i meant to type the carbon x and thanks again.
Hi Lloyd I'm looking for an all rounder the hoka one one rincon sounds just like What I'm Looking For is the fit true to size or do I need to go up a half great vid🙂👍
Hi Antony
Yep the Rincon is true to size 👍
I'm a UK 9.5 in most shoes and Rincon fits perfectly in a UK 9.5 😊
Thanks for watching the review and I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙏
What in your opinion is the best road running shoe?
It's such a personal thing a running shoe Anik. It depends on how you run and move through you Gait cycle, heel striker, forefoot etc. Also the shape of your foot and if you like firm shoes, soft shoes, the list goes on. The best thing to do is go to a good running specialist shop and speak to them and try lots of different shoes on 👍
but if you can't do that here's a list of consistent performing shoes 😊
Brooks Ghost 13/14 neutral
Nike Pegasus 38 neutral
Hoka Mach 4 neutral
Saucony Ride 14 neutral
Hoka Clifton 8 neutral
New Balance 1080v11 neutral
New Balance 860 structured
Saucony Guide 14 structured
Asics Kayano lite 2 structured
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
I know it’s a neutral shoe, but does it provide _any_ stability? I typically need at least some stability. Hoping it has just enough stability for me to give it a try.
Hi Simon
It's definitely just a neutral shoe but Hokas have quite a wide base and quite a bit of rigidity through the midfoot. Your also slightly sunk into the midsole so you have a slight guide rail in the shoe. What would you normally run in shoe wise? Also Hoka do make shoes with structure in, the Arahi 4 is a pretty good shoe 👍

Im not used to shoes with a lot of cushion and trying to decide between the rincon and clifton for my long runs (10-13 miles). Any advice? Will the clifton have too much cushion?
Hi John
Cushioning really is a personal thing but I'd say if you not use to a lot of cushioning in your shoe then the Rincon is the better option 👍
I personally think it's the better shoe as well, I don't know anyone who hasn't enjoyed running in the Rincons! 😊
It's lighter, more responsive and more comfortable than the Clifton 👍 Good luck with your shoe choice, hope this helps and thanks for watching the review. Don't forget to subscribe to our channel to keep up to date with future content 🙏
Run 4 Adventure sweet! Thank you. I was leaning towards the rincon but ive also heard theyre better for up to 7 mile runs. I think that’s more for people who really focus on time and training though. I dont think itll make a difference for me as I try different shoes a lot and am pretty used to adapting to them
I've used the Rincons for all kind of distances from 5k to Marathon so I don't think you'll have any problems 👍
Hi, how does the RINCON compare to the BONDI 6?
Hi Louis
I'd definitely recommend the Rincon before the Bondi! The Rincon is super lightweight, really responsive and it still has a nice level of cushioning. The Bondi is a bit to heavy, a bit to bulky and very soft! It's OK for slow recovery runs but a part from that it's not that responsive. Hope this helps and don't forget to subscribe to our channel to keep up to date with future content 👍
Stay safe and keep on running 🙏
How many more miles do you think you’ll put in them before you retire them?
I’m at 203 just pre ordered the Rincon 2 should be here in a little less than 2 weeks
Hi Robert
I'll probably run them to around 450-500 miles 👍
Yeap I'll be getting the Rincon 2's that's for sure and we'll be reviewing them on the channel 😊
Thanks for watching the channel Robert its really appreciated 🙏
Completely agree with everything said. I’m only 100 miles into my Rincons.
Also loving New Balance 1080 V10s which were a huge surprise
Hi Dean
A lot of runners are enjoying the NB 1080 v10's 👍
I'll be reviewing some NB shoe's on the channel soon 😊
Thanks for watching!
I've had the Rincons for a month and done over 150 miles in them. Durability doesn't seem that bad and they haven't gone flat (like some reviewers sat they do). The shoes are very narrow, though, and I had to switch to better insoles to avoid getting blisters on the sides of my feet. I have the 1080v10s which I really like, but I tend to grab the Rincons or Pegasus 37s for most runs.
Rincon didn't work for me. Had real issues with rubbing on the inside step of right foot
That's a shame it's a great running shoe 👍
Maybe it was a bit to narrow on fit? It's definitely a narrow shoe. Thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
Any comparison to the Rincon 2 available?
Yep there sure is! I did mention in the review that the new Rincon 2 is pretty much the same shoe just with a few more over lays on the upper. It should run and feel pretty much the same and I'm very happy about that 😊 Thanks for watching the channel hope you enjoyed the review 🙏
Unfortunately narrow forefoot for me...
It's definitely quite narrow 👍
Thanks for watching 🙏
