Product Information
Full details
The New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 is designed for female trail runners and hikers who prioritize comfort and reliable grip on varied terrains. Its primary benefit is the signature Fresh Foam X cushioning, which provides a plush landing during long outings in the wilderness. However, users should be aware that the aggressive trail-specific outsole, while excellent for dirt and rock, may feel firmer on paved surfaces than dedicated road running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 is designed for breathability, not as a waterproof shoe.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can handle short stretches of pavement, the outsole is optimized for trails and will wear down faster on asphalt.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The weight varies by size, but it is built to remain lightweight while providing trail-level protection.
Does the Fresh Foam X compress over time?
Like all foam midsoles, some compression is normal after hundreds of miles, but the technology is designed for long-lasting energy return.
How should I clean the exterior fabric?
Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and gently spot-clean; never submerge the shoes completely.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is accommodating, though you should check if your specific size variant meets your width requirements.
Troubleshooting
Debris getting inside the shoe
Consider wearing gaiters designed for trail runners to seal the gap between your ankle and the shoe collar.
Outsole losing grip due to mud buildup
Use a stiff brush to clear out the gaps in the lugs after your hike to restore maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, ensure you have selected your correct UK adult size. The shoes are designed to fit true to size, but we recommend trying them on with the specific socks you intend to use on the trails to account for foot swelling. For care, avoid machine washing or drying. Instead, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each use. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the foam and adhesives.
