Exactly what i expected... - Hoka Rincon Road Running Shoes - Men's

After talking with Hoka directly and watching a number of reviews on YouTube, I had a pretty good idea of what I was going to get. I gave the Rincon 4 stars but there are 2 parts of the shoe that are only worthy of 3-stars (and that might be generous). I have run about 15 miles on these shoes since receiving them (all on paved surfaces) and the outsole is already showing signs of wear. Secondly, the insert is very, very thin. It hardly serves a purpose. I am a neutral heel-striker with a high arch. If my arch was any higher, I would inevitably have to replace them with custom inserts. However, on the 5-star side - these shoes are LIGHT. My other go-to road shoes are the Brooks Ghosts and these shoes make them feel like concrete. The midsole is fantastic - great balance between response, cushion, and support. No shin, ankle, or knee problems whatsoever and my post-run soreness (I'm 41) has been reduced. Upper is highly breathable - will be a great spring/summer running shoe for here in Central Texas. My trail runners (and favorite shoes) are Speedgoat 2s and Hoka told me that these be the closest fit to the Speedgoats.
