Description
The Hoka Rincon 5 is a light, smooth road shoe for runners who want to cover miles efficiently. This neutral running shoe pairs a smooth transition with a direct, springy toe-off, ideal for daily training and easy tempo pickups.

Light and efficient on every training
The Rincon 5 is built around speed and ease. The low weight and the MetaRocker sole shape together provide a smooth, efficient transition that helps you keep your rhythm. That makes the shoe feel quick on your daily loop, but it also lets you pick up the pace easily during a tempo block. For runners who like a direct, uncomplicated ride, this is a fine companion.
Balanced cushioning with a new drop
The compression-molded EVA midsole gives a cushioning that is comfortable without becoming bulky. New to the fifth version is the 8 mm drop, raised from the 5 mm of the Rincon 4, which provides a little more support under the heel and a firmer, more built-up ride. That way the Rincon stays light and direct, but feels slightly steadier than its predecessor.
Grip and use on the road
Under the shoe is hard-wearing Durabrasion rubber with strategically placed pods, which grips on asphalt and cycle paths and lasts many training miles. The streamlined sole reinforces the efficient transition that makes the Rincon so recognisable. That makes it a reliable shoe for daily use on the road.
Who is the Hoka Rincon 5 for?
The Rincon 5 is intended for neutral runners who want a light, efficient and affordable daily trainer. It suits daily miles, easy runs and light tempo pickups, and is suitable for both beginners and experienced runners who like a brisk ride. If you are looking for an accessible all-rounder without frills, the Rincon 5 is a strong choice.
Good to know
The Rincon 5 has no plate and no max cushioning. For your longest, easy runs a shoe like the Bondi 9 offers more cushioning, and for pronounced speed work with pop you look to a plated shoe such as the Mach. If you are used to the earlier Rincon, you will notice that version 5 runs a little firmer and more built-up due to the higher drop.
Frequently asked questions about the Hoka Rincon 5
What is the difference between the Rincon 5 and the Rincon 4?
The biggest difference is the drop: it went from 5 mm on the Rincon 4 to 8 mm on the Rincon 5. That makes the fifth version feel slightly firmer and more built-up, with a little more support under the heel. The light, efficient character and the attractive price have stayed.
Which training is the Rincon 5 suitable for?
The Rincon 5 is at its best on daily miles, easy runs and light tempo pickups. The low weight and efficient transition make those runs quick and comfortable. For hard intervals or races with maximum rebound, a plated shoe makes more sense.
What is the difference between the Rincon 5 and the Clifton 11?
The Rincon 5 is lighter, lower and more direct, while the Clifton 11 offers more cushioning and a more balanced, comfortable ride. Choose the Rincon if you want a brisk, efficient and affordable trainer. If you want maximum comfort and cushioning for longer runs, the Clifton 11 is more interesting.
Can you run long distances in the Rincon 5?
Yes, many runners use the Rincon for long runs and even marathons thanks to its low weight and efficient transition. The cushioning is balanced, not maximum, so for the longest, easy runs a shoe like the Bondi 9 may be more comfortable. For most daily and long training runs the Rincon 5 is well suited.
Is the Rincon 5 suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Rincon 5 is an accessible and affordable choice for beginning runners. The low weight and smooth transition make running comfortable, while the shoe is versatile enough to grow with your training. If you mainly want maximum cushioning, the Clifton 11 or Bondi 9 is an alternative.
