During our HOKA Rincon Review, we’ve found that these shoes are lightweight and have generous but firm cushioning and sufficient arch support for protecting your feet if you have plantar fasciitis. These are true shock absorbers for your feet, giving you relief from plantar fasciitis pain when you are out on walks. Without this pain you can go out and exercise for longer periods of time, achieving your short-term goal for walking or running.
The light weight of these shoes is also great for plantar fasciitis because you have less weight swinging on your legs, decreasing joint movement on your feet. Less joint movement means less joint pain, so you can have a more natural heel strike when walking according to our science journal publication.
One problem with this shoe is there are some reports of quality degradation after only a few months of consistent running. If you are an avid runner, you should not run into any issues during normal use though. We are comfortable recommending these shoes to you.
