Hoka

Rincon 4

Men's

I have wide feet and an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation, most often, in my feet and legs. I almost always opt for wide or X wide shoes for comfort but have worn many pairs of standard width shoes. My last pair of Hokas wore out (I wore them nearly every day for 2 years though!) and I got these in a wide. I knew as soon as they arrived that they weren't wide at all. I tried wearing them anyway and spent 2 days of work thinking I needed to just break them in. But they hurt SO bad that, by the end of that 2nd day, I was hobbling around. Can't return them cause I wore them so I ended up giving them to my partner. Im sure these are fine if you have narrow feet but if you have anything wider than standard, don't bother.

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 miles on 3s without serious issues. It also feels like it has more "pop" than the 3s, which isn't a bad thing. I love the 3s. They brought me back after a disastrous injury and relapse that kept me off road and trails for nearly two years. I'm sad these are a departure from my old faithfuls, but I'm not entirely unhappy with the updated shoe overall.

I officiate High Varsity Basketball and Football > I purchased a pair of RINCON 4 shoes and I find them to be the most comfortable shoes I worn in a long time. I would appreciate it if you can recommend a shoe to wear on the football field. We officiate football on artifial turf and sometime on natural grass. Thank You Marcelino Velasquez
