    Coming back from an injury I realized I needed something more cushiony and a friend suggested the rincon. I could only get the 2 but apparently they're almost the same. Anyways, I wore this shoe for my speedier days in season and now I'm using it for my longer days in the offseason and it's held up through everything. Very versatile, sort of a "tweener" shoe. Would 100% buy again.

    The hoka rincon 2 is a great all around trainer, it has a insane amount of cushion but, is extremely light weight. It is very responsive and can be used for tempo runs, I would even use it for a 5k race or more. The one con I have with it is the outsole it wears quicker but could easily get 300-400 miles on them. I would definetley recommend these as a daily trainer.
