- @HOKA_TV RINCON 4: A silent bargain?
Light and inexpensive and great for running without making a sound. This is a good running shoe at a great price!

Was speaking to the owner of Runnercart, an independent running shoe shop in Bangkok, who said he wears the Rincon 4 for his daily runs. Surprised given range of shoes he sells. He said it helps prepare him for Ultra's.
Bought the Mach 6, fantastic.
I'm a little surprised too they're his shoe of choice, given the assumably wide range of options.
Glad you're loving the Mach 6!
I ran a half marathon in the Rincon Three, and it performed well. However, it did wear out pretty quickly
@@nathanm.9971 I’ve heard that a lot about them wearing out quicker than average, but I’m glad they performed well! 🙌🏽
If you ever need to donate shoes I run by a guy who lives in a shed outside an outside and he wears a size 13 too. I was going to use my road runner savings to buy him a shoe.
@@davidg9120 Email me at MattBertrandRunning@gmail.com
Save your RRS savings; I’m happy to send a couple pairs.
This comment is awesome. I'll be dropping off a pair of used running shoes to one of the nice homeless here in Maryland. Keep the positive energy going.
@@JDeezle21 Nice! WTG helping your community AND extending the life of your shoes!! 🙌🏽
@@JDeezle21 you're awesome! Some people get into bad situations in life and it's so nice to work together to make thier lives a little better!
I had the Rincon 1 and I just got the 4. I have gotten two runs in so far, but the second run definitely felt better than the first run. I guess it needed a minute break in😁
Glad to hear you liked it more on the second run. I find that's often the case, even if a break-in period isn't really needed!
I like the Rincon 4. It’s like the adult version of the previous Rincon. I work in the Restaurant business so I use Bondi SR at work but I wear the Black Rincon 4 to work and back. Of course I love the SkyFlow, Skyward X, Bondi 8 more but something about it I like. BTW I still love my Rincon 3s.
@@ryanbullara5433 You’re clearly a ride-or-die Hoka guy! I love it! 🙌🏽
I must admit I have been a fanboy for awhile now! I may need rehab for it!🙂
@@ryanbullara5433 Nah, save that rehab money and buy another pair of shoes. It doesn't seem to be a problem! 🤣
Quiet sneaks! Definitely a must for my job! 😂
@@Deadbuck73 There are so many situations when we need to move stealthy! 🤣 PSA: Stay away from the Nike Alphafly and Vaporfly when you want to be quiet!
EVA definitely "goes flat" a good bit sooner than other brand's mid-range TPEE or TPE foams. I don't see putting a bit more as the outsole as stopping that being the case. I'm about 80kg and my experience with EVA is that it soon feels pretty dead.
@@huzcer EVA is typically quite resilient, which is why it’s been the foam of choice for so long, but there’s no getting around there are other options that probably work a little better. Even the newer blends, like Hoka put into the Mach 6 and Skyflow feel much more performance oriented.
@@its_Matt_B_ sure but EVA is not a high-performance foam so that's why I said compared to mid-range foams as it's generally doing the same job (everyday trainer job) as those but with less durability and energy return (generally). a "high performance foam" like the zoom x formula on the vapour fly will not last all that long but equally it's there to provide that propulsion.
@@huzcer Ahh! I see what you were saying now. Agreed.
The Rinncon 3 is a huge dissapointment for me. Almost no rubber outsole and the eva midsole gone dead as soon as passing 200km, no more soft feedback to the feet. The Rinncon 3 is the last pair of shoes I purchase from Hoka brand
@@cuthomas4664 I get your disappointment, but don’t give up on Hoka; their shoes with a rubber outsole last far longer!
Just picked up a pair on sale. Can't beat the price, that's for sure.
@@young-spark How much did you get them for?
@its_Matt_B_ it is on sale for $88.49 CAD ($65ish usd) and then received another 15% discount on top 😀
40% off then another 15% discount 😊
@@young-spark Oh wow! What a score! 🤩
Interesting name: Rincon. In Spanish it means "corner" or "meadow", as explained to me by a bilingual colleague. At $125 it competes with the SL2. Interesting shoe(t) out.
@@MyFatAdaptedLife The shoe was named after the surf spot, which is a point break and I’m just realizing now the connection as the wave comes around the corner of Rincon point. 🧐
@@its_Matt_B_ Aha moment
I think in this case $20 more for Hoka Mach 6 is worth it or get Adidas SL2 at the same price. It is such a good value!
Agreed!
Had the Rincon v1 back in the day, and found it just extremely narrow and long, even more than other Hokas... Otherwise it was a decent shoe but I don't think it would hold up to nowadays uptempo trainers like the Mach 6 or Rebel 4...
@@robin29991 I remember back then the Rincon was thought of as a faster shoes but a lot has changed and you’re right about it not comparing to the Mach 6 or Rebel v4!
Is it narrower than the Rincon 3?
@@Ptrmndza No. it’s a very similar fit.
Puma Liberate Nitro 2
@@JDeezle21 That is a great competitor.
