Rincon 5
Rincon 5 is a fifth-generation road daily trainer for regular runs and walking. Compared with Rincon 4, it adopts a sleeker fit, a revised single-layer compression-molded EVA midsole, and a higher 8mm drop to smooth transitions. A breathable engineered-mesh upper and Smooth MetaRocker guide the stride, while podular Durabrasion rubber keeps the outsole flexible and reinforces high-wear zones.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- HOKA Japan official men's product page lists 276g. The HOKA US exact women's page lists 7.70 oz; these are different gender samples, so the women's value is not treated as a conflicting men's measurement.
- Plate note
- The exact HOKA US and retailer specifications list a compression-molded EVA midsole, Smooth MetaRocker, and a podular Durabrasion rubber outsole, with no carbon structure.
