Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid Hiking Boot - Men's

This is a GREAT shoe!

Because of a foot problem, my search for a shoe that would help me to continue my roadwork lead me to the New Balance line of shoes, and thanks to that first pair, I was able to correct the problem. I have been wearing New Balance shoes for walking, running and hiking since about 1989, and for my needs, the Fresh Foam X Hierro Mid Gore-Tex could very well be, in my opinion, the best shoe New Balanced has ever produced. The first time I put the on my first pair of Fresh Foam X Hierro's, and walked the first few steps, I was extremely impressed, almost with disbelief, with the overall results the Hierro's delivered. I just received two more pair and decided to take a moment and submit a review on this fantastic shoe. Once again, for about the 50th time, thank you, New Balance, for keeping me moving.

Your products are very quality beautiful and easy to wash

Defective shoe painful experience

Being a longtime customer it pains me to write this review. The shoe has a defect that makes them unwearable, a hard knot in the seem where the tongue is sewed to the shoe. When they first came I tried them on and they fit my feet, but I didn't realize that they had a defect until I actually took them out and used them for a hiking trip. I wore them a handful of times, every time trying different ways to mitigate the deflect in the shoe to stop the pain and rubbing/blistering. Nothing worked. I will have to replace them, as they can't be used again. New Balance would not exchange the shoe since I wore them and I didn't find out about the defect until hiking in them which was several months after purchase. New balance only gave a small credit towards a new pair of shoes. I will hesitate to buy a pair and take the chance of getting a deflective shoe again.

Improved walking stability with Foam X Hierro Mid GTX

These are the only shoes that I've found that stabilize my flat feet for hiking and working outside.

Good looking shoe

Very cushy, handsome shoe. Sadly, even with the width I ordered, 4E, it was too narrow despite the 4E of the 993's fitting perfectly. Sadly returned.

Shoes are narrow

I ordered shoes half size bigger than I normally do but still narrow for my wide feet. I wish the shoes came in a 6E

Narrow fit

I really wanted this to be the shoe that fit because it's the only New Balance shoe that provides mid/ankle support. The sizes at the New Balance store for other styles differ from online purchased shoes.

Great Shoe for Midwest Winter

I love these shoes for comfort and for a good winter hike. We haven't had much snow this year but there's some wet heavy snow coming down today. Just kick these off and the water just sheds. Great shoe I would buy again. Keep these guys in stock.

Ausome

My go to shoe's, can't beat gore-tex and vibrum soles .

Comfortable

As far as fitment they are true to size but needs a little breaking in. I believe the Gore-Tex does effect the width though because I got the extra wide and they are just a little tight. Very comfortable otherwise, would purchase again if they hold up nicely.
