Whenever I buy an EVA shoe with the intention of using it for running it ends up being a waste of money. The midsole never makes it to 100 kilometers, much less miles. Doesn't matter what brand the shoe is. EVA just sucks for running.

The first version of the Rincon that came out 5 years ago did have some durability issues, but that was rectified by the second model. This 3rd edition is even better. Do yourself a favor and just google reviews. I would have no hesitations buying this shoe as a daily trainer at this price.

Millions of runners have been using EVA foams for decades, it's only recently that these newer (and more expensive) alternatives have come about. They've all been able to run in EVA-based shoes just fine, so I don't know what your issue is - sounds like a you problem. They're perfectly fine for daily trainers, as they have been for years. Use the cheap EVA shoes for your daily easy miles, save the expensive superfoam shoes for racing and hard workouts.
That all said, I do agree that Hoka tends to fall on the less durable end. Their foam formulation is softer than most as they prioritize comfort. It's not for everyone, but plenty really like it.
