Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 Trail Running Shoe - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I took the Hierro v9 out on a long run with a mix of muddy switchbacks, rooty singletrack, and exposed rock, and it handled all of it without hesitation. The Vibram Megagrip outsole bit hard on wet stone and loose dirt alike, and the dual-density Fresh Foam kept my legs feeling fresh deep into the back half of the run."

The trail does not care about ideal conditions, and neither does the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 Trail Running Shoe. From the first muddy descent to the final rocky push toward the trailhead, this shoe stays planted, comfortable, and ready to keep moving through whatever the mountain puts in the way.

Underfoot, dual-density Fresh Foam X cushioning delivers a plush, forgiving ride without sacrificing the stability needed when the ground shifts unpredictably beneath each stride. The Vibram Megagrip outsole pairs a revamped tread pattern with deep 6mm lugs that dig in with authority on wet rock, soft dirt, and loose scree, providing the kind of grip that builds real confidence on exposed terrain. Up top, the breathable knit upper moves with the foot while the gusseted tongue seals out trail debris and keeps the fit snug through technical sections. Toe Protect technology adds a layer of defense against the rocks and roots that have a habit of finding their way underfoot, rounding out a trail shoe built for runners who take their routes seriously.
