FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While they can handle short road sections, the Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 is primarily designed for trail running. The aggressive tread pattern is optimized for off-road grip and may feel less efficient on pavement.

How do I clean my Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 trainers?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry. Avoid machine washing or direct heat.

What is the lug depth on the outsole?

The Vibram® outsole features deeper, 6mm lugs for superior traction.

Is the upper waterproof?

The upper is made of a breathable knit material designed to keep feet cool and protected from debris, but it is not waterproof.

What kind of terrain is this shoe best for?

These shoes are ideal for adventurous and technical terrain, including muddy paths, rocky ascents, and mixed trail conditions.

How does the cushioning system work?

It utilizes dual-density cushioning, combining plush comfort with a more stable underfoot feel for adaptability on varied surfaces.

What does 'gusseted tongue' mean for me?

A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, which helps to keep debris like dirt and small stones from entering the shoe, enhancing comfort on trails.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction over time

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove embedded mud or debris. If wear is significant, consider replacement.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the laces are properly adjusted. Break in the shoes with shorter runs before attempting long distances. Check for any internal seams that might be causing irritation.

Debris entering the shoe

Ensure the gusseted tongue is positioned correctly. Consider using gaiters for particularly dusty or rocky conditions.

Cushioning feels too firm

The dual-density cushioning may feel firmer initially. Continue to wear the shoes for progressively longer periods to allow them to break in and adapt to your foot.
