I've run 512k so far in the Rincon 3. After 100-150k the midsole changed into a flat tire which is a bit disappointing. Otherwise, it is still in great shape. A minor issue: in wet conditions the grip is poor. Overall, it has great value for the money, but for a similar price I'd rather buy the Puma Velocity Nitro (which I had before, loved, more versatile, comfort and grip, and lasted 1000k).
Thank you, your review helped me a lot!
Thanks for this. I had been running in the Rincón 2/3 and bought a pair of the Mach 5 for faster sessions. For me, I am pronating slightly in the Mach 5, having rolled my ankle many times over my running exploits. The video here showing you running in slow motion in really helpful, because I can see how the Mach 5 flattens much more under the mid foot than the Rincón. That probably explains my particular issue with it. I would add that the Mach 5 is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on my feet. It’s too bad its not working for me, but man does it feel good on the foot.
Ok so you made a bad decision going mach 5 with the rincon 3 better. I have had 4 pairs of rincon 3 so far and only issue is they loose their bounce and midsole flattens quickly
Agreed 100%
FYI I returned my Rincons as they did not feel snug enough on my foot. May be ideal tho for wide feet. Mine are normal so to speak. Mach5s are a dream. I may even prefer them a tiny bit to my Triumph20s head to head (would be a great comp video ?)
Happy New Year to the team 🎉
Good comparison..... agree with pretty much everything (including the durability). Mach 5 my favourite.
I know there’s often a lot of comments about the durability of the Rincon, but I’ve just knocked out 500km in my R3’s and they’re still in fine shape. The rubberised EVA on the outsole has held up just fine, and there’s still plenty of bounce. I’m 6’3 and 83kg, so not exactly a dainty runner, and run on a variety of surfaces. The Rincons have done several hundred kms on trails and fire roads for me, and have been great.
I second this! I already bought the Mach 5 to replace my Rincon 2’s. But surprisingly, they (the Rincon) are still going very strong at over 650 km now…
@@swenderich I got over 500 miles out of Rincon and only 360 miles on the Rincon 2. I loved them, but is the Mach 5 less durable?
@@mk_ultrarunner I still have my Mach 5’s and they’re good!
@@swenderich just ordered a pair. They are on sale under $100 at Running Warehouse. Rincon 3s are too.
my Rincon3 is at 860km n still in my rotation. midsole felt a lil flat at around 600km mark, but still useable for less than ~12km run on flat tarmac/asphalt n no problem on gravels.
I now use it predominently on gravels. Upper n outsole still holds, i guess i can get it to 1000km 👌
/im 64kg runner
I am still on the Rincon v1 because I only use it for speed workout and races, I really enjoy how soft and reasponsive the foam is, a little bit narrow though so looking forward to get v3 or v4 at some point.
I did try the mach 4 and was not a fan on how stiff it felt and was worry on the outsole as well.
Need you do do this comparison with Mach 5 and 6 … I had one on each foot in the store and totally different shoe!
I am now training on my Rincon's3. This summer I gonna run an road ultra (100km) and I think the rincon 3 is the shoe for this. I like the weight
Good review. When are you guys and gals going to do a comparison (vs) video on the Hoka Mach 5 vs. the Puma Velocity Nitro 2?? Seems like a natural comparison!
In my humble opinion the Hoka Mach 5 and the Puma Velocity Nitro 2 serve the same purpose and they both do it very well!! I have my favorite of the two but will wait to share that later.
Just reached 500 km in my Rincon 3 and they still in very good shape. The midsole is soft but not responsive. Didn’t notice any change in softness after 100 or 200 km or even now with 500 km.
I have both and I def prefer the Mach 5s!
hello sir, loved your video. I am a regular gym goer but lately i have done two road marathon 5 km. its like 1 marathon in like 3 months or so . now i want to go for the 10 km one however i dont know which shoes to buy clifton 8 or rincon for marathons and for running on treadmill at times. I like to sprint as well when i have had my 2 marathons. I am not a professional marathon runner but a beginner who has ran 2 marathon till date of 5 kms. next one want to go for 10 km road marathon . kindly advice for marathon and running fast on treadmill at times.
Rincons are nice and fast for me because they’re light, but I rarely pick mine up except for a snappy 5km every couple of weeks, because it’s the only shoe where my knees tell me they felt the run after… I’m 5’7 140lbs so a very average slim female, not a heavy person… but the rincon just doesn’t feel cushioned enough. I’ve done 10kms in them but I won’t go further… I also get blisters in rincon on a 10km behind ball of my foot… never in my new balance shoes…
I’ve never understood the durability comparison between these two, since rincon has that extra rubber protecting the Eva foam …
The Mach 5 does come in wide as well. I have them
The Wide is of interest to me. Hoka uppers typically too narrow forefoot for me. I'm guessing this might optimistically run similar to a NewBalance 2E ? Personally, a 4E would suit me even better, but I'm sure that's extremist dreaming on my part.
Great, thanks for the video. One suggestion: Mach 5 x Mach 4. I have the 4, I like it, but when I tried to use on long run I didnt like, it seems that you dont have the response with more miles. I would like to know if 5 is better on this
The Mach 5 is a bit more responsive / bouncy compared to the Mach 4. I loved the Mach 4 but the Mach 5 is even better if you ask me. Really comfortable shoe for a long run, I use it all them for all my long runs up to 25km. Highly recommended.
from my experience with hoka as a heavier runner (120kg) their shoes become unresponsive after 5km so i would go for a nitrogen infused midsole (maxroad 5, puma velocity, liberate....)
@@mihgio3235 I am about half your weight and in the Rincon when I pass the hour mark I feel like I got a flat tire..
@@i.p2088 until they change their midsoles i will not buy another pair of shoes from this company
So is there no rubberized outsole like the Rincon? Is the bottom of the Mach 5 all foam? If so, that won't last very long.
No mention of the outsole?? The mach5 is like a bread roll in the outsole …key difference not mentioned
I have both pairs and I find the r3 just really flat and not fun to run in. Mach 5s are great though.
A very good comparison between these shoes but in my eyes the clear winner is the Mach5 over the Rincon3 💪🔥
I’ve never run in the mach5 but in the mach4 and it’s fit and comfort is amazing 👌
The durability may be the same in these two shoes but the fit is so different 😱 The one thing that disappointed me the most in the rincon3 was the length of the tongue 😬 Way to short. Another 3 or 4 centimeters would be good
I’ve bought my second pair of mach4’s for my work and that says a lot.
On the other hand the rincon 3 I wouldn’t buy it again 🤷♂️ Sorry Hoka if you don’t wanna hear it
Yesterday i completed 538km in rincon 3 and believe me its still have bounce ,not like the same when i bought them but not totally dead either (67kg runner). I do my tempo efforts in them and probably my favourite shoe in my rotation. Even after 500+k i can still run 300-400km more in them bcoz condition is still up to the mark for it.
Rincon 3 is the poor man Mach 5.
65 pounds? Dang that's cheap I wish we had those deals on hokas in the .U.S.
The Mach 4 was a huge disappointment for me. It just feels dead under foot. Is the Mach 5 really that much different from the Mach 4?
Thank you I think you have better described my felling with the 4. For me this happens after 20k
I can attest to this and say yes. Still not as long lasting as a Clifton say, but probably at least 20% more life than its predecessor. I’ve just retired my mine with just over 600k and buying a second pair. Looking at the Mach x but I think I’ll stick with the 5
@@timtoolman6437 Did you ever get blisters from the Mach 5? Just finished my 1st long run in the Mach 5 and have two blisters. The shoes felt great but I don't want blisters for every long run.
@@davidmcquade4743 I did not no. Where are you’re blisters? The Mach 5 was true to size for me. Do you have the typical “thumbs width” of space at the end of your longest toe? I find the fit to be very secure for me. No movement or rubbing.
@@timtoolman6437 I have the thumbs width. The shoes may be a little too wide for me though. My feet may be moving too much side to side. I'll give the shoes another go. Everything else feels fine. I've been having knee pain flare up on long runs lately, but they felt great today.
