How many miles could I get out of the hoka rincon

I have just have 200 miles on my Rincon 2 that I only use for recovery/easy/long runs with 95% of the miles coming from a treadmill. I'm guessing I can push them to 300 miles but not past that. I'm already noticing a difference and the bottom looks fairly messed up.

250, maybe 300. I notice the midsole starting to firm up between 150-200. The toe starts to curl even more after 100 miles and can cause hotspots (even more so than typical HOKA). YMMV.

Damn. What about the hoka mach 4?

Everyone gets different mileage out of their shoes. Some average 300 miles, while some average 1200. I personally got 350 miles out of my Rincon 2s, but could've gotten more easily. I'm also taking my Mach 4s to 450-500 (right now they are at 234 and showing some outsole wear, but it's not too bad). I could definitely get them up to 400+ miles and 500+ miles, but I have so many other shoes that I want to get to soon after (like the Novablast 2 haha).

I would assume that if you finally run a Novablast into the ground then a Rincon would last 800-1200 miles and the Mach would last 1200-1600. This is entirely based off of the fact thought that you will get 1500+ out of the Novablasts.

I've really liked both the Mach and Rincon for what it's worth, but there is a minimal amount of outsole rubber on the Rincon and the Mach's "outsole" is really just it's denser bottom layer of midsole foam (of two).

Come back and let us know what you get!

The Mach 4's were my first Hoka shoes. I've got about 120 miles on them and they have considerable wear on the heels. I'm a heel striker. The tread was worn away the first week! I'll probably only get about 200 miles out of them. They are comfortable but certainly not durable. So I'll switch back to my everyday go-to Nike Pegasus.

Hokas are unfortunately terrible for outsole and tread wear. Typically great shoes, but you get through them 2x faster than other shoes imo.
