FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Fresh Foam X Hierro V9 models are not waterproof. Look for specific GORE-TEX variants if you require enhanced water resistance.
Are these suitable for road running?
While they can be used on pavement, the outsole is designed for trails and will wear down much faster on concrete.
How do I determine my size?
We recommend measuring your feet in the afternoon when they are at their largest, and comparing them against the standard New Balance size chart.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the factory insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional support.
What does the 'X' in Fresh Foam X represent?
The 'X' denotes the latest iteration of New Balance's proprietary foam technology, offering a lighter and more responsive feel than previous versions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness and check that the laces are not tightened to the point of restricting circulation.
Excessive dirt build-up in the outsole
Use a stiff, non-metallic brush to clear debris from between the lugs to maintain optimal grip performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fresh Foam X Hierro V9 remains in top condition, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before committing to long-distance runs to allow the midsole to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove loose mud or dirt with a soft brush after every hike or run. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; do not submerge in water or use harsh chemical cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally in a well-ventilated space. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the foam and glue integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area to prevent mold growth and maintain the shape of the heel counter.
