  No connection with the clifton 9 at least for my needs for recovery after a fracture. The clifton are sturdy shoes and helped me a lot to improve my walking.

  This review is about the colour: Multicolour

  I have narrow feet and I take size 40 usually. These shoes are extremely tight for my size 40. I went up for 40 and 2/3 and I still feel like I should have went to 41. Take one size bigger!
  Now for the main issue, I have narrow feet and I usually take narrow shoes. These ones are more than narrow, it feels tight on the leg and I feel like blood is being pressured on my foot, and this is for only daily use!!! Used for one week now. Maybe they will open up a bit with time, but for now I give it 2 stars because I got them o' sale for 70 euros.

  This review is about the colour: Blue

  The impressions are after 1000 km of running on asphalt and open terrain with two pairs of the Wide version of this model (the first pair lasted 600 km and I am at 400 km with the second pair). I will mention some basic characteristics because I see many people posting negative reviews mainly because they did not know what shoe they bought.

  First, it has a very narrow fit in the front, like almost all Hokas. Fortunately, this specific model also comes in a Wide version, which is a game-changer for anyone with wide feet. Even for regular feet, I recommend the Wide version for anyone planning to use it for several hours of continuous running or walking.

  Second, neither the sole, nor the fabric upper, nor the insole provide any kind of support. It requires a completely neutral foot strike and will not suit someone who needs guidance/support in their stride. For anyone who wants a little more cushioning, I recommend changing the insole to a regular thickness (I switched between Clifton and Rincon) or changing it to an orthopedic type for anyone who needs support in the arch or heel.

  Third, the main sole is a simple low-density EVA foam, a large part of which is exposed, as the rubber used in the outer sole is relatively limited. Do not expect it to last more than 500-600 km.

  All of the above are somehow necessary in order to keep the cost and weight as low as possible, so that you can have a shoe that weighs only 220g for under €100 and can be used comfortably in training sessions that require very fast paces, but also has enough cushioning for distances even longer than a marathon.

  For anyone who knows what they are buying, it is a 5-star shoe.

  I am comfortable walking in them, but they got stained from the first uses on the big toe and around without anything falling on the fabric.

  Classic value. It's worth even more if someone finds it on sale. It is one of the expensive companies.

  This review is about the colour: Multicolour

  I have been wearing Hoka shoes since 2014 when very few people in Greece knew about them. They were excellent (I started with the Clifton 1, 2, etc.), and I also recently used the Stinson and Bondie models (I have run 15 marathons in Europe with Hoka). However, since 2020, I have been disappointed with their quality and durability. Specifically, in the Bondie 7, after 50 days of use (400km), both shoes tore apart as if they had been cut with a knife. And the climax was when I recently got the Rincon 3, which after about 30 workouts (on asphalt, tartan, grass), the soles in the heel area of both shoes got holes in the exact same spot, causing my foot to come into contact with the ground. Similar experiences regarding the construction quality have been reported by other athletes for these specific models. Unfortunately, I consider it unlikely that I will trust this brand of shoes again in the future.

  Worthy, maybe even better, than the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36. Very lightweight, with the ideal incline for me, perfect fit. First time trying HOKA but it's worth it. Durability? I don't have an opinion yet.

  For runners with wide feet, they are prohibitive. Their shock-absorbing system, combined with the absence of arch support, will destroy your knees.

  No Hoka is suitable for runners with wide feet.

  At the price of 75 euros, it's like stealing from a church. Ideal for distances up to half. From there and above, Clifton.

  I bought the shoe in the wide version.
  It is good for walking as it is lightweight and compared to the other HOKA shoes I have bought, it has lasted the most kilometers.
  The issue is that it is not suitable for running, the cushioning it has compared to, let's say, the Clifton 8 is half. Personally, it now hurts my knee when I run with it.
  I give it three stars because I think it is a very expensive shoe just for walking

  In a few words, the shoe is terrible, it's not even suitable for walking, it's tight and it hurts quite a bit, I would say.

  Super lightweight shoe. Quite narrow fit. As for the length, the size is true to size.
  The construction quality seems very good, but only time will tell how durable it is.
  The cushioning is ideal for my taste. It's relatively soft, but not too much.

  Disappointment!!!!!
  Hard as it gets, nonexistent cushion, no return.
  This company really produces such shoes.
  It's like I bought them from a flea market!!
  Stay away!!!!!
  I wonder about those who praise them

  This review is about the colour: White

  It is a daily trainer with EVA foam without any extra technology. It has a 4mm drop and a meta rocker design that helps you increase your pace. The standout feature is its low weight, around 200g in size 43.

  The fit is narrow, so for someone with a wider foot, they should look elsewhere. The durability is average overall. After 300 kilometers, the foam becomes harder compared to when I bought it.

  In conclusion, for someone who wants a versatile daily trainer (slow pace, tempo, faster pace) to wear for about 20km per week but also has other shoes to switch depending on the training, is lightweight, and has a narrower fit, then the Rincon for €90 is a very good choice. If you want it for any other use, such as long runs, walking, standing, races, etc., it is not suitable at all. Hoka has other solutions (Clifton for walking and standing, Rocket X for races, or the Mach 5 for those who want a shoe like the Rincon but with a firmer feel to better sense the ground and have better quality)

  First time in Hoka and my impressions are very good. Super lightweight, ideal for running, feels like stepping on a cushion. I run 5-10 km daily on asphalt and they are very comfortable. After a lot of searching, I ended up here and it's also value for money for someone who doesn't want to spend a lot. The orange ones are awesome. Size 44 in Adidas, 44 2/3 in Hoka and they fit perfectly for me.

  I give it 2 and a half stars for everyday use and not for running.

  I have had them for a few months and I wear them frequently in the city. They have formed this dent in the front (on both shoes) that you can see in the photos, which in turn hits my big toe. I don't have any particular foot shape (e.g. wide feet) to say that it's my foot's fault. On the contrary, the rest fits normally in the shoe. Also, after about 40 minutes of standing, my heel hurts and my whole foot feels uncomfortable. It's very lightweight but I don't recommend it for everyday use.

  It is a unique shoe for running or walking. It is worth giving something more and trusting this brand, you will not regret it.

  Very comfortable! First time with Hoka. It feels like running on a gym mat. 198 grams each, 130 grams lighter than the adidas I had for running. I read many reviews to end up with the rincon 3, and they are confirmed! Highly recommended!

  Ultra-light shoe and very soft. I have done about 200 km. They are almost like new because I take care of them a lot. How long they will last remains to be seen. Overall, I am satisfied.
  They didn't seem to have durability. One year later, kilometers I don't know, only 2-3 times on dirt, they are still in very good condition.

  Extremely comfortable for small workouts in the one month that I have them. Coming from Nimbus 21, I was skeptical but they have truly impressed me, very lightweight and comfortable with excellent bounce back.

  A major disadvantage is the excessively hard insole. In the first 20 minutes of walking, my toes were quite uncomfortable. Be aware that you will need additional insoles to make them as comfortable as needed.
