FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard polyester upper is designed for breathability and durability but is not explicitly waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can handle short road sections, they are specifically engineered for trails and may wear down faster on abrasive asphalt.
How do I determine my size?
The New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 follows standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the front for comfort during downhill running.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is crafted from a high-quality polyester blend engineered for both strength and comfort.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable, which allows for the insertion of custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on side-hills
Check that the laces are tightened using the eyelet lockdown technique to ensure your heel is seated firmly in the back of the shoe.
Accumulation of mud in outsole lugs
Use a stiff plastic brush to clear debris from the tread pattern after your run to maintain maximum grip for the next outing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, always ensure you have the correct size for your gait; the v9 features a secure, true-to-size fit. When cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each run to prevent debris from degrading the polyester fibers. If the shoes become muddy, hand wash them with cold water and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the midsole foam. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these processes damage the structural integrity of the cushioning units.
