Anyone else experienced that the straight lateral mid-/outsole creates a severe degree of pronation while landing midfoot in the Hoka Rincon (2) ? There is almost no curving on the outer part of the shoe, resulting in a powerful push to the medial side at landing.
You can also look at people walking around in Rincons that their feet are overpronated by this shoe inducted force rather than anatomically.
This just in, every shoe doesn’t match everyone’s foot doesn’t match everyone’s gait.
I think I know what you're saying. I tried the asics novablast which has a thick wedge of foam that exaggerated my pronation. My shins and knee were on fire after a while, especially after intervals. Now I wear firm low profile shoes.
if you talk about pronation you are not gonna make it
I have the Rincon 1 (similar to the 2). I pronate in all off-the-shelf shoes, moreso on the right foot, so I modify the insert or outsole. I do this on all my running shoes.
I checked the Rincon. It's worse than most of my shoes as far as pronation is concerned. When the pronation is slight, I add crafts felt under the insert on the inside of the heel and in the arch to cant the shoe more to the outside. I've described how to do this many times and it's in my book. You can probably find it with a search here.
However, on some shoes, including the Rincon, this isn't enough so I removed about 1 1/4" of the outsole along the outside of the foot starting just in front of the heel and going up to the base of the little toe. I went down until that area was level with the base of the pads. (Basically, I cut off the pads.) This, plus a layer of crafts felt in the arch, makes the Rincon tolerable.
The crafts felt hack is a great way to get a better fit to prevent injuries caused by pronation.
