FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v9 is designed for breathability and is not classified as waterproof.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit is engineered for standard foot shapes, but the mesh upper provides some flexibility to accommodate slight variations.
Can I use these for road running?
While the cushioning is comfortable, the lugged outsole is specifically designed for trail use and will wear down faster on asphalt.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Depending on usage and terrain, it is recommended to inspect the midsole foam and outsole lugs every 300 to 500 miles.
Do I need to break these in?
The Fresh Foam X construction provides a plush feel right out of the box, but taking a few short walks is recommended to ensure the fit is perfect for your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Try using the heel-lock lacing method (using the extra eyelet at the top) to secure the ankle more firmly.
Material appears dirty or stained
Spot clean the upper with mild soap and cold water using a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fresh Foam X Hierro v9, begin by properly loosening the laces to accommodate your foot volume before the first wear. These shoes are compatible with various trail-specific socks; using a moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool blend will optimize breathability and prevent blisters. For care, avoid machine washing or drying. Instead, remove excess mud or debris with a soft-bristle brush after your hike. If the interior becomes damp, stuff the shoes with newspaper and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the foam cushioning.
